Those sheaves were seen on Leitner lifts in the 1970s. Did Leitner give Borvig all the designs that they didn’t need anymore?
Honestly, I hope that Saddleback gets its fixed-grips from Partek from now on. They could use the business. According to their Wikipedia page, they have been installing only one or two a year for their entire history. Go Partek!

Nice to see a new Partek. When was their last new build?
Is it me or are those sheaves a beefier design?

They built two new lifts last year, one at Mount Southington, and one at Trollhaugen.
