Approach track
Surface, guide, boundaries and substructure influence how the track can be prepared and used.
Service for ski jumping hills
The track behaves differently than usual, the ice quality fluctuates, a winch sounds wrong. We determine which system is behind it and get the job done.
What service for ski jumping hills includes
Service ranges from a single repair to a complete overhaul after ten years of operation. This includes maintenance, spare parts, retrofits and inspections of take-off track, cooling, winches, milling technology and steel construction. We will assess what is needed at the facility.
This is how we proceed with ramp service
For the initial assessment we need the location, hill type, installed technology and a brief description of the occasion. Photos, operating documents and timing of the anomaly help to narrow down the affected area. On site we then check the affected components and their interfaces.

Which technology comes together in hill service
Cooling
With MASTERTRACK, the cooling system, pipes, controls, and the ice track form a connected system. If the ice quality changes, the cause can be at any of these points.
Winches and milling technology
The winch, cable guidance and milling technology must fit the installed system. The recurring inspection of the winch is a separate professional service with its own proofs.
Steel construction
Substructure, platforms, guardrails and gate systems come from the same production as the track. We maintain them without switching on a second operation.
Service practice at existing ski jumping hills

With our own approach-track systems, we cover the entire process from planning and fabrication to installation and commissioning, and later operation.
Frequently asked questions about ski jumping hill service
What is included in the service of a ski jumping hill?
Maintenance, repair, spare parts, retrofitting, inspection or commissioning of individual components. Affected may be the take-off track, cooling, winches, milling technology and steel construction.
Is service the same as maintenance?
No. Maintenance is a planned activity to preserve the existing technology. Service is broader and starts with the question of which system is affected and whether maintenance, repair, inspection or a technical modification is required.
Do you also service existing ski jumping hills?
Yes, if the task falls within our technical capabilities. For the initial assessment, we need information about the facility, the installed technology, and the specific occasion.
What influences the costs of hill maintenance?
What matters is the size and condition of the facility, accessibility, affected systems, spare parts, travel, duration of use and documentation. Therefore the offer follows after technical clarification.
What information helps in a request?
Helpful are location, hill type, installed technology, a brief description, existing documents, photos, and the desired time frame.
