Not exactly a lift company but a cabin company. CWA makes great looking and functional cabins.

There are things that I both like and dislike about Dopp and Poma. But overall I would have to say Dopps with the CTEC carriers has to be my favorite style. For older lifts I really like Herons.

I think DoppelmayrCTEC lifts are the best just be cause they seem to have better quality then Poma. I see some older Pomas they look very worn out while some older Dopps and especialy CTEC still look new.

Nothin beats a good ol' Hall lift. I like Roebling's too, and if you need a modern lift company, I would say that I like Poma the best.

Are we on this again? Every lift company has its good points, plus we have reps from the two remaining companies who frequent this site. Let's not beat this tired horse to death.
