Sliding down a snow covered hill in an innertube is not a new concept, but when you add banked chutes and take away the walk up the hill, you have made a fun activity even more enjoyable. "Tubing" has become the latest rage at many ski areas thanks to the Multi-Lift handle tow.

Chutes are sculpted into a kind of miniature bobsled run that controls the direction of the tube and keeps the tube in the chute.

The specially designed tubes have a handle that attaches to a Multi-Lift wire rope handle tow that transports the tube and the tuber back up to the top for the next ride down.

This handle tow ski-lift, transportable and without supports, is an ideal system for beginners and training on the slope, ski schools, hotels, communities, ski clubs and ski resorts. Because of its low initial purchase installation costs, the ski-lift can pay for itself in one season.

Multi-Skilifts are fully guaranteed for one year. The combination of modern technology with more than 20 years of manufacturing experience has enabled us to sell one of the most variable and economical lifts available today. The lift is hot dipped galvanized and all parts are furnished by renowned manufacturers only. A worldwide system assures immediate delivery of replacement parts.

Multi-Skilifts comply with national codes and regulations of Europe, USA, Canada and others. The system must be installed and operated according to manufacturer guidelines and local regulations. The owner has the responsibility to provide adequate insurance coverage.
