A chair of a chairlift contains a footrest which is connected to an automatic positioning mechanism and which may be positioned below the seat of the chair between a travel position and a boarding and/or disembarking position. The chair further has at least one seat with a seat surface and a safety bar extending transversely over the seat and being pivoted from an open position into a closed position.

Footrest and method of operating a chairlift

A method for heating a gondola of a cableway system and a gondola that is suitable for carrying out the process, as well as a cableway system with gondolas of the type. In order to increase passengers' comfort when being conveyed, the floor or parts of the floor is or are heated by an electrical heating device integrated in the floor in particular while the gondola is situated in a station of the cableway system.

Method for heating a gondola of a cableway system, a gondola suitable therefor and a cableway system

An apparatus monitors the locking of the safety bar of the chairs of an aerial cableway system. A first sensor determines the occupancy of the chairs and a second sensor determines the locking of the safety bar. The sensor output signals from these two sensors are led to a control device, which is enabled to switch the chairlift system off.

Apparatus for monitoring the locking of the safety bar of a chair in a cableway system

A cable railroad system has a load-bearing and traction cable and a large number of chairs. The chairs are provided with coupling devices with which they can be coupled to the load-bearing and traction cable. Here, the seats of the chairs are constructed with electric heating devices and also with batteries for feeding the heating devices. The system also has devices for charging up the batteries.
