“Ain Dubai”, the world’s largest and tallest Observation Wheel is now standing in Dubai. Its cabins are entered via a loading conveyor belt and access gates by Sunkid. Ain Dubai, at more than 250 metres, is now the largest and tallest observation wheel in the world, outdoing even the High Roller in Las Vegas (168 metres), the Singapore Flyer (165 metres), and the London Eye (135 metres). The observation wheel is circled by 48 luxurious passenger cabins that can carry about 1,750 guests at a time together. The Sunkid conveyor belts – originally developed as ski conveyor belts and proven there a thousandfold for passenger transport – keep surprising their users with new functions, technologies, and applications. The passenger cabins are entered by access gates and loading conveyor belts by Sunkid. Since the observation wheel never stops turning, the loading conveyor belt makes sure that the speed difference between the moving gondolas and the static platform is optimally compensated to ensure that the required safety and maximal capacity can be achieved. The Sunkid loading conveyor belt allows the Observation Wheel to move by 30% faster, increasing its hourly capacity by 30%. The loading conveyor belt also serves as part of the evacuation route in emergencies. (2021/12/10)
