In winter ski resorts or summer water parks, passengers need to board safely every single day. The briefest of interruptions can disrupt passenger flow, increase waiting times, and require more staff. Which is why the conveyor belts concerned must be particularly sophisticated.
In winter, conveyors need to withstand cold, snow, and ice. Winter-sports fans’ sharp skis also come into direct contact with the belt. These problematic conditions require consistently robust belts that take passengers safely and steadily to chair-lift boarding points.
Braking performance plays a vital role in this respect. The belt moves passengers smoothly and continuously to the right position. As a result, boarding is easier and the risk of disruptions lower.
Summer adds other factors such as chlorinated water, intense sunlight and people walking barefoot on belts. Hard-wearing, safe and people-friendly belt solutions are required in this case too.

Forbo Movement Systems offers belts dedicated to Chairkit’s diverse applications. Some variants were developed specifically and sometimes exclusively for the Chairkit systems.
The belts are tailor made in each case. They offer exceptional durability in outdoor applications with safe passenger transport and consistently stable conveyor operations.
A SieglingProlink S7 belt helps passengers board boats in water and theme parks.
Series 7 stands apart for its robust design and outstanding durability. Its closed hinge design enables transmission of superior tensile force. The relatively small pitch in relation to belt thickness also enables a compact and high-load-bearing conveyor.
Large contact areas and closed, solid sides mean long service lives and smooth, reliable tracking behavior. As a result, the belt ensures an even flow of people and meets Chairkit’s high demands on safety and availability.
