Skytrans buys old lifts from various manufacturers. Hall is one of the ones they apparently seek out. They seem to like Heron-Poma and Stadeli as well. The lifts are broken up for parts which are sold along with some new parts to build a complete lift. I think pretty much every Skytrans installation has parts from multiple removed lifts.

Further, even their lifts built from scratch these days have used chairs.
