Yeah, I see towers and crossarms/lift frames being hauled. I know all the chairs were going to replace original Yan chairs on one of the 3 other Yan/poma lifts at K/Pico. Pretty sure they were going to save most of the usable terminal components for those 3 lifts as spare parts too. Maybe send some sheave sets up to SB as well, but not the whole lift that's for sure.

Tatro installs snowmaking pipe and on occasion moves oversized equipment for their customers. I would not expect the utmost accuracy on social media. Obviously the entire lift is not going to Sugarbush. The terminals were scrapped, the chairs are going to Pico. That leaves some sheave and tower assembles that would be up for grabs that were not kept as spares.

Why? A spare part is a spare part...
I would agree that it makes sense to grab spare parts,... what's on the truck in the photo looks like major lift components - not spare parts (what do I know though)
Its just a bad look when you are Sugarbush (one of the top resorts in New England) and you are scrounging for spare parts to fix a lift that really should be replaced.(NRX)
SBX never ran due to mechanical issues. NRX was down for a good part of December& January. If you are Magic or one of the other small independents - of course go and grab the used parts. I would like to think Sugarbush is beyond looking around for old spare parts to keep their lifts running.

How do you know this is destined for NRX? Could be for either the Summit, Inverness or North Lynx as all 3 are Poma lifts. Heck, even Castlerock is a Poma if memory serves me right towers and crossarms could be used on any of those then.
