Our Mission:
To continue to supply the ropeway industry with quality engineering and
products.
Who We Are:
Since 1981 Superior Tramway Company has been serving the tramway
industry with quality lift parts. We stock parts for Riblet, Heron,
Heron-Poma and of course Superior chair lifts at our shop in Spokane. This
equipment covers many aspects of an aerial tramway including line
machinery, chair assemblies, line sheaves, chair clips, derail protection
systems, tension systems, drive terminals, brake systems and rigging
equipment.
Our custom and stock parts range anywhere
from a simple derail switch mount to complex hydraulic tensioning systems. We
also have the ability to fabricate and/or rebuild motor rooms upgraded with
control systems that meet current ANSI B-77.1 standards.
Since Riblet Tramway
Co. closed it's doors almost 10 years ago, we have been filling part
of the resulting void by providing parts and services for those chairlifts.
We offer some rebuilt Riblet equipment and our own Superior
line of products that are compatable with many
of Riblet's products.
