It’s been another busy week on Mt. Perisher as we welcomed the delivery of the first of a whopping 51 shipping containers carrying important infrastructure for our new chairlift.
The containers made their grand voyage across the ocean from Austria to Sydney before being loaded onto trucks and transported to Mt. Perisher.
The containers bring with them essential lifting infrastructure like sheaves (the wheels on each lift tower that make the ‘duh-duh, duh-duh, duh-duh’ sound as the chair rolls over them), the lift’s haul rope, and even the operator hut.
Since the arrival of the containers, the Perisher and Doppelmayr team have been busy unloading and moving the infrastructure into place, some of which required the help of a crane.
Can you imagine the peoplepower that goes into moving 51 containers worth of chairlift infrastructure?!
Watch the video below to see the Perisher and Doppelmayr teams hard at work unboxing the containers.
