I think a large portion of the towers were reused from the previous Yan double, if you look at the tower footings from tower two up they are embedded and all Doppelmayr detaches that use completely new tubes are all bolted down. Looking at the pictures of the Yan you can all=so see the tower ladders are the same to this lift.
It’s been mentioned here before, but it was discontinued. My somewhat-educated guess is that it was cut in order to streamline Doppelmayr’s offerings and manufacturing process as it was only ever a North American product.

Yup, I can see you are correct. Also noted by Peter in the photos. Good way to save a little extra money.
