The ski lifts in the resorts operate every day of the year, transporting skiers, hikers and mountain huts to the snow-covered slopes.
Throughout the year, safety checks are carried out on each lift by a trained and qualified driver before it opens to customers.
Once a year, usually at the end of the winter season, the lifts are inspected in greater detail; both the line and each tower are inspected, and the bolts, bridges, safety components and rollers are checked one by one.
Every 15 years, a "major inspection" is carried out: the clamps are removed and dismantled in their entirety and, in addition to the usual operations, non-destructive tests of the parts are carried out.
Inspection, adjustment, maintenance and replacement operations are carried out by qualified personnel in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and instructions.
