    Does Doppelmayr still produce the Eco drive?

      Not regularly. I’m not sure if they would do it or not if a ski area or amusement park requested it.

        I dont think so, but I’m surprised Doppelmayr is not bringing a similar economical fixed grip product back to rival the Skytrack monarch since Leitner Poma bought Skytrack and cornered the economical/low end fixed grip market. With the LPA alpha being a 40-year-old outdated design and dwindling sales as a result, I’m sure Dopplemayr assumed Leitner Poma was giving up on the North American fixed grip market and could win over potential customers with newer and more modern Tri-Star and Uni-Star models and drop the eco drive, but with LPA owning Skytrack, I would not be surprised if we saw Doppelmayr release a cheaper bare bones fixed grip lift product for the North American market in the near future. Or try to buy Partek like they did with Bovrig and do what LPA did with Skytrack
