simple and quick, thanks to the modular interlocking system
that comes with height-adjustable feet.
The Start model is the latest addition to the Team Service
range. It reaches a maximum length of 42 meters and is suitable
for customers who need to purchase a conveyor belt at
an affordable price. Designed for simple uses, the Start model
is perfect for small ski resorts and ski schools that are mostly
frequented by beginner riders. The electrical functions and
control column are very simple to use. Focal point LED lights
automatically flash a red-light to alert an operator of any
error and indicates the exact location of the error. It is also
possible to adjust the speed, turn the system on and off and
stop the conveyor belt in case of an emergency. The control
column incorporates the conveyor’s internal electronics,
which makes accessing the electrical panel and its removal
extremely easy and quick. The control panel is reduced in size
compared to the Easy and Premium models.
Available in 650 mm, 810 mm and 1,200 mm widths, the
Easy model has more extended functions. As it is the most
versatile model that Team Service offers, the Easy model
is used in different contexts, from the smallest to the most
complex plans. The advanced management software from
Siemens allows control over a series of functions. It is possible
to change the speed, locate any error that may occur,
view data related to the number of passengers and hours of
use. The customer can manually control the infrared resistance,
activating the snow melt under the unloading station.
Multiple options can be added in addition to the standard
electronics, which increase functionality and offer targeted
customization of the system.
The Premium model is aesthetically and mechanically
similar. As the most complete conveyor belt of Team Service’s
offerings, it features extremely advanced, innovative
technology. The conveyor lift is controlled by a 12.1-inchmonitor
with high brightness and an anti-glare touchscreen.
From the touchscreen control panel, the operator can turn
the conveyor on and off, adjust the speed, see the amount of
transported people, hours of operation, kilowatts used and
list of alarms. This data is stored in an Excel file and can be
downloaded anytime with a USB drive. Each involuntary stop
is displayed on the monitor, including the name and location
of the error to assist the operator. It is also possible to enable
or disable the occupancy detector on the boarding station.
This function offers great energy savings on low traffic days.
If enabled, the conveyor lift will remain stationary until a person
arrives at the starting position, and resumes operation at
the previously selected speed.
The Premium model has several unique features including
an ice and snow cleaning system. This prevents ice from
forming at night by activating an infrared lamp under the
driving station. An ultrasonic sensor also detects the amount
of snow present and decides when to initiate this function.
Additional options are available such as a rotating brush
to ensure better cleaning of the rubber belt surface, the side
platforms for safety and convenience and the automatic
pump for continuous and optimal tensioning of the belt.
The Start, Easy and Premium models can be connected
to the internet for remote assistance 24/7 by Team Service
technicians. This assistance is particularly useful and appreciated
as it gives the possibility to solve almost immediately
all malfunction problems that may occur.
The installation of a camera system allows constant monitoring
in real time and access to recorded footage. The camera
information and data can be retrieved from electronic
devices such as computers, smartphones and tablets.
In recent years, many projects have been completed in
North America thanks to the collaboration of Team Service’s
North American distribution and technical support team. In
the United States, two separate locations are conveniently
based to serve the west and east regions. Pfister Mountain
Service LLC in New Hampshire, and Sun Valley Ski Tools
from Idaho. In Canada, Samuele Piana is based in Ontario
and coordinates with the team from there.
In 2020, Team Service had the pleasure of completing several
important projects. Silver Mountain Resort in Idaho
