    At a time, this lift actually had both Borvig and Partek chairs

    We replaced about 20 chairs a season over 3 years to spread out the cost of the upgrade.

      Did the old chairs fail NDT or did you guys want to upgrade for other reasons?

    I have the number of chairs on each lift.
    The little thunder double has 25 chairs.
    The triple has 52 chairs
    The double has the longest 104 chairs twice as many as the triple.

    Were the towers reused from the previous double?
