“The new 3S demonstrates that we can integrate unique designs into nature”, explains Paolo Pininfarina, president of the Pininfarina Group. “Working together with LEITNER and its cabin designer SIGMA, we have developed an innovative cabin with a distinctive character that, using elegance and comfort, makes the mountain experience unique”.
In close cooperation with qpunkt, the expert in air conditioning in the automotive sector, resulted in the development of a new climate control concept with continuously variable air volume and improved air flow velocity. This significantly enhances the ride experience.
Numerous innovative designs include exterior lighting as well as the sophisticated interior lighting tailored to the color scheme of the individual customer. Thus, the styling exudes individuality and creates the desired recognition effect.

Our Premium Chair EVO impresses not only with the proven seating comfort, but also with its simple elegance. Its premium materials, like genuine leather, are just as impressive as the discerning design. It turns a standard chairlift ride into a premium class experience.
Our new exit opening allows even particularly large guests to board and deboard safely. As a result, there is no longer a risk of passengers banging their heads.
The redesigned side walls are made of shock-absorbing material. That provides additional comfort for the passengers and a visual upgrade of the new Premium Chair EVO.
The sliding doors also ensure that passengers near the doors are no longer bothered by the mechanism when opening.
The panorama windows that extend all the way to the roof offer the best possible all-round view, giving a particularly open ride experience.
LEITNER made the seats even wider and increased the spacing between the individual seats, enhancing individual comfort.
The Diamond cabin’s modular structure offers particularly great scope for individuality. It makes different length, width and height versions possible. The interior fittings, including the light concept, can also be tailored for the customer’s requirements.
The cabin ventilation can be designed in a variety of ways to meet different requirements depending on the intended use — from urban cable cars in tropical countries to transport for athletes up the mountain in winter. Tiltable windows are possible on the valley, mountain or support tower sides of a cabin. In addition, there is the option to install additional ventilation slots if necessary
LEITNERs’ new star product is also available with sliding doors with fixed side elements along the side face, or with sliding doors spanning the entire surface.
LEITNER vehicles
When LEITNER design engineers develop a vehicle, ride comfort and convenience have top priority. Moreover, special attention is paid to achieving a high degree of wind resistance for all vehicles, particularly for cabins, since the availability of an installation is enormously important for our customers. All vehicles are in-house developments, designed and manufactured according to the latest European ropeway regulations and approved by a notified body. LEITNER offers the entire range of vehicles – from the fixed-grip 2-seater to the detachable 8-seater. Cabins of all sizes are manufactured by SIGMA in France.
The cabins have a unique place in the market thanks to their spacious design and large picture windows, which offer a panoramic view of the surrounding area.

The generous use of glazing ensures unrestricted, panoramic views. Additional customization is available through a wide choice of options, including seat heating, ski racks, hinged windows on all sides, ventilation systems, individual choice of finish inside and out, and a wide range of colors for the floor and for the seat and backrest materials.
Functionality and aesthetics are combined in the LEITNER bubble chair, which are the perfect choice for low-temperature operations, windy conditions and chairlifts with above-average line lengths. The pronounced convexity of the bubble and the use of high-grade transparent polycarbonate ensure a light and airy feeling for passengers.
The lockable safety bar and/or the safety bar with central footrest between the legs of the passenger offer highest levels of safety, together with the familiar comfort of a footrest. By preventing passengers from slipping under the safety bar, the LEITNER KidStop® further increases the safety of an installation, especially for the transportation of children.
Simple and intelligent design engineering is the key to ultimate reliability. In the neutral position the grip is closed. There is no dead center to be overcome. In addition, grip force remains constant even when rope diameter changes. In addition, a safety system developed by LEITNER and certified to CE standard ensures the secure clamping of the grip before leaving the station.
