Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to track down pictures of some of the grips used by the Doppelmayr Garaventa Group in the history these two companies have been building lifts, both prior and after the merger.

The grips are the: AK4.1, DL7, DS-103.

Thanks for your efforts.

Garaventa AK-4.1:


DS-104 (Don't exactly know about a DS-103 though)

So if that's the AK4.1, then what is the AK4?

You might be thinking of the AK4.0? Slight differences on the grip body, and trunion caps.

Do you have pictures of comparing both Jimmi?

The reason why I ask is because I would like the new site to list what lifts feature what grips. While it would be simple to just list DT Series, AK Series, etc., this could cause problems when running queries to identify which lifts feature what 'specific' grip. For instance, a DT-106 grip could be used on a 6 passenger gondola.

I may have photos, but not detailed enough to show the subtle differences. Maybe someone that works at DV or Park City could take some detailed photos? King Con at PC, and Northside at DV are "sister ships".
