Doppelmayr used the Alpine Lift name from the 50s until the late 60s when they sold exclusively T-Bars in North America. When they started offering chairlifts they went under the Doppelmayr name.
There was a double chairlift sold under the name Alpine Lift at Marmot Basin, Alberta called Tranquilizer so they didn’t exclusively sell only T-Bars under Alpine Lift.
Doppelmayr’s early double chairs were sold under the name “Alpine Lift” (with the earliest Doppelmayr chairlift being built in 1964 at Mt. Buller, Australia). There were a few Alpine Lift chairs (such as the Tranquilizer chair @ Marmot Basin) sold in North America. Another one that comes to mind is the abandoned Farside Chair at Fortress Mountain. http://skiingbc.info/pages/photos2-46703.php

Was Alpine Lift an early name for Doppelmayr when it came to North America?

Most early Doppelmayr/Alpine Lift chairs are now gone, but, there is a 1965 one that still operates in a Finland ski resort.

Correct, forgot about that one. Pretty sure their next lift in North America was the Skyline lift at Jay. Not sure what name that one was sold under.

There are two 1960s Doppelmayr doubles still operating in Germany as well:

In Austria there are only 1970 and newer ones left. Some of the oldest still in operation:

I found a picture of the original chairs on the Tranquilizer chair at Marmot Basin (they were replaced sometime with 1980s Doppelmayr chairs)
