This Is The Highest Capacity Chairlift In The World

"SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental in Austria, one of the largest and most modern ski areas in the entire world, is officially home to a pretty unique lift. The EibergBahn is the world's highest-capacity detachable 8-seater chairlift. Not only that, but it's the world's highest capacity chairlift, transporting up to 4,570 passengers per hour. The new lift replaces two 4-seater chairlifts that transported well over one million guests every season."

"It's maximum operating speed is five meters per second with comfortable seat heating in the chairs. A 140kWp photovoltaic system on the valley station's roof generates about 50% of the requiring annual energy for the lift, too."

SkiWelt Wilder Kaiser-Brixental in Austria hosts the EibergBahn, a detachable 8-seater chairlift with the world’s highest passenger capacity. The lift transports up to 4,570 passengers per hour and replaces two older 4-seater chairlifts that together served well over one million guests per season. The system operates at a maximum speed of five meters per second and features heated seats for rider comfort. A 140 kWp photovoltaic array on the valley station roof supplies roughly half of the lift’s annual energy requirements, reducing external energy demand.
