Hi,
I'm not necessarily new to the forums but I have not really had a good reason to be posting until now so I guess this is my first post
.
I'm part of an investment group looking to purchase a resort in Vermont. The resort has 2 lifts. One is 3000' long and the other is 4000' long. I live in Maryland so I can only offer the pictures I have from this past weekend and what the Realtor had taken years back. Mind you they are not very helpful. I will have the (Year, Make and Model) of the lifts soon. We actually just got back last night. It was our first visit to the resort and we had so many ideas to go through that none of us really took a look at them.
These lifts both need to be either replaced or seriously overhauled. If they can be fixed and put back in running condition then there may be hope for this small resort. Otherwise we probably will not proceed.
I'm looking for information pertaining to How overhauling is done, how much it potentially will cost, who I can contact to get an estimate and do the work, and what has to be done to overhaul a lift. I don't believe these lifts have been cycled for quite sometime (8 years at least).
They are double person chair lifts and run by HP 3 Phase electric motors. They are from the late 1960's- early 1970's so I'm told. I don't really understand how they work but there is an 8 cylinder gas engine with a transmission attached to it and then that attached to a few belts and then the electric motor. My guess is it is either for emergency use and/or to start the large electric engine.
I will post pictures soon. And get back to you guys as soon as I get a call from the Realtor with the year make and model.
Thanks for any help you guys can offer,
Alex
