Sunkid Highlights New Developments

The longest, the highest, the most extraordinary, and many other unique Moving Carpets from 25 years. More than just the promise of high-quality products, great service, and decades of experience have turned Sunkid into the world’s leading manufacturer of person conveyor belts. Unique projects, tailor-made for customers, and many broken records that characterised the unmistakable original Moving Carpet since 1996.

• Longest double conveyor system (400 m) in Bottrop. Sunkid breaks all records - longest, fastest and strongest Moving Carpet in Bottrop.
• The highest Moving Carpet (3,500 m) Jungfrau Joch. A Sunkid Moving Carpet with gallery defies the most extreme weather conditions on Europe's longest glacier at almost 3500 meters above sea level. 
• Moving Carpet with the longest gallery (Les Deux Alpes). The project in Les Deux Alpes represents the current highlight in terms of technical progress. Be it the EVOLUS gallery with its covered and widened entry and exit area, the belt speed of up to 1.2 m/s or the multitude of features in the monitoring and safety area.
• World's longest column conveyor in Vail (USA). Year-round tubing fun with the world's longest column conveyor for passenger transport. 
• Height-adjustable Moving Carpet. Star Lifts USA builds first moving carpet with hydraulic lifting device for the entire track. 
• The world's first interactive moving carpet - Fairy Tale Express Fiss. This moving carpet combines transport and staging to a unique experience.
• Copenhill - probably the most unusual skiing area. 500 meters of ski slope and three Sunkid Moving Carpets on the roof of a waste incineration plant. 
• Boat conveyor belt in use at the Olympic Games. In Japan, there has never been an artificial canoe slalom course before. The Kasai Canoe Slalom Centre was built for the Olympic Games. A central element of the white water course is the boat conveyor belt from Sunkid.  
• Sunkid supplies the world's first concave access conveyor belt. The world's largest and highest Ferris wheel "Ain Dubai" is now located in Dubai. Access to the cabins is via an access conveyor and access gate from Sunkid.

Winter affords many options for fun and adventure even away from skiing – why do without them? Sunkid offers products that can be used for sliding, riding, and sledding on toboggan runs or tubing tracks. The products offer the greatest fun when used in sequence in a secured area.

One such area is a Snow Fun Park that can be a proper world of experience for all age groups, offering places to play, such as our hexagons, tobogganing slopes, and bobsledding, tubing tracks, or our Rotondo for children and their accompanying adults.

Titlis Bergbahnen in Switzerland, convinced of the advantages of the Snow Fun Park concept, offer two different parks to their guests with a variety of Sunkid sliding equipment. Their special feature is that the fun does not stop when winter ends, but continues right into summer, thanks to the “Gletscherpark” set up with the “Balancer” and “Zipfelbob” products and a dedicated slope to dash down on with them. The Titlis Gletscherpark also has a tubing track to add an adrenalin kick for many adults as well.

The starts of the two tracks can be reached very easily, even while carrying the sledding device of choice. The climb is facilitated by the Sunkid Moving Carpet.

The second Snow Fun Park is called the “Rutschpark Trübsee” and located right next to the TITLIS Xpress Engelberg-Trübsee cableway mountain station. Once again, various sliding products and a tubing track by Sunkid can be found there. The climb also happens by Moving Carpet, at a length of 96 m and differing from the other one by its special wood roofing that harmoniously merges with the landscape while protecting the passengers from wind and cold. It also helps the operators start up the equipment quickly with minimal maintenance effort even in bad weather. There’s nothing in the way of some sliding fun.

Of course, Snow Fun Parks can be implemented outside of skiing areas and mountain railways as well. The only prerequisites for planning to start right away are a certain gradient and runout area. The broad Sunny Stuff product range and the popular Moving Carpet that can be used for the return transport allows Sunkid to act as a reliable all-in-one provider.
