That's a tough one the bullwheel is the same, usually it is hard to identify handle tows. I think Borer and Star Lifts are the only ones who still make handle tows today.

Ya, i see, but its one odd design. I looked everywhere for some kind of manufacturer, strange that they wouldnt label their lift. I should have asked the lift mechs up there.

Kinda looks like the one at Whitewater too. Harusch still makes handletows, I think that O'Connor, Leitner, and Schippers all still do.
