Thanks to the ideal interlocking of the movements of the passenger and the chair, more space is created between the chairs, increasing the amount of time that the passengers have to “weave in” between the chairs. Even at high transport capacity, stress-free, comfortable and safe passenger boarding can be achieved, leading to significantly higher availabilities for the operator. If an installation is designed for maximum comfort, the HCL station, compared with the standard station, doubles the amount of time that the passenger has to board while the transport capacity remains constant.
