Saf-Ski Systems

Saftronics offers a wide range of drives to meet the specific needs of the ski industry. Many Saftronics adjustable speed drives have been placed in service at ski slopes in North America in a variety of applications.

Saftronics manufactures an extensive line of both AC and DC drives that meet or exceed all current recommended ANSI B77 standards for adjustable speed drives used in ski-lift applications. Saftronics motor controllers provide precision control of motor speed over a wide range of operating speeds and loading. The controllers include extensive protective networks for both the controller and the drive motor to ensure safe, reliable operation.

Saftronics ski-lift drives provide a number of operational advantages. No two ski-lifts have the same operating characteristics. Saftronics drives can easily be adjusted to accommodate the uniqueness of any specific lift. Adjustable speed motor controllers offer excellent control of acceleration and thus reduce mechanical shock to the lift when starting. Lift speeds can be easily and infinitely adjusted to meet changing load demands. Speed can be reduced during periods of light loading to reduce power consumption. The smooth, stepless operation of Saftronics drives provides passengers increased confidence and a higher measure of relaxation resulting in less down time and moving more people to the top faster.
