Purchasing a Used SkyTechSport Ski Simulator: A Quick Guide
When purchasing a used SkyTechSport Ski Simulator, you have two options:
- Handle the transaction independently —No manufacturer warranty, but we will provide limited phone support.
- Hire SkyTechSport —Our team assists with disassembly, inspection, reinstallation, and potential warranty eligibility.
Important Considerations
- Unpredictability of Used Simulators —Some used simulators have been well-maintained and will continue to operate flawlessly for decades. However, every used simulator is different, and the process of relocating can come with unexpected challenges. It's important to plan for possible delays and unforeseen costs.
- Parts Availability & Custom Production —Some replacement parts may not be available in our warehouse. Certain components may have changed or been discontinued over the years, leading to longer wait times and increased costs.
- No Assumption of Liability —SkyTechSport does not assume liability for the current condition of a used simulator, how well it travels, or how it reassembles. Purchasing a used simulator comes with inherent risks.
- Warranty is Not Guaranteed —At the end of installation, we will assess the simulator's condition. If it does not meet our operational and safety standards, we may not offer an extended warranty.
- Eligibility for Manufacturer-Assisted Relocation —This program only applies to simulators that are still fully assembled in their original installation location. We cannot take on projects where disassembly has already occurred.
- Location Restrictions & Contractual Obligations —We must review the intended installation site. In some cases, contractual agreements may prevent installation in certain regions.

Manufacturer-Assisted Purchase Process
1. Disassembly & Inspection
- A SkyTechSport team can disassemble the simulator for 5% of the new simulator price + travel expenses (estimated and quoted upfront).
- Disassembly typically takes 2-3 days, longer if logistics are complex.
- After disassembly, we provide a detailed condition report, including missing or worn-out components.
2. Packing & Shipping
- Buyer or seller is responsible for packaging and shipping the simulator.
- SkyTechSport does not handle logistics, loading, or transportation.
3. Installation at the New Location
- Before installation, the new location must confirm correct electrical setup.
- A SkyTechSport team can install the simulator for 10% of the new simulator price + travel expenses (estimated and quoted upfront).
- Installation typically takes 3-5 days, but may vary.
- If missing or damaged parts prevent installation, the process will pause, requiring rescheduling at additional cost.
4. Training & Warranty Assessment
- After installation, we will train one or two of the buyer's specialists on operation and care.
- We will assess the simulator's condition to determine eligibility for an extended warranty.
- The cost of an extended warranty ranges from 5% to 10% of the price of a new simulator.
- Remaining warranty from a previous owner will not transfer but may be applied as a discount toward a new extended warranty.
Scheduling & Availability
- Customers must schedule disassembly and installation at least 90 days in advance by making full payment for disassembly, assembly, and travel expenses.
- We prioritize new simulator installations but will do our best to accommodate your timeline.
