Leisure & tourism
High-performance lift safety solutions for the world’s busiest attractions
Safety and reliability for venues that never stop moving
Leisure and tourism venues create extraordinary experiences for millions of visitors every year. Yet behind every memorable moment, sophisticated lift systems work tirelessly to move guests safely and efficiently. From theme parks to luxury cruise ships, these environments present unique challenges. Massive visitor volumes, continuous operation, unusual applications and the absolute necessity of maintaining the illusion while ensuring safety mean you need systems you can trust. Because downtime doesn’t just inconvenience your guests. It disappoints them.
At Atwell International, we’ve earned the trust of world-renowned leisure and tourism brands, from Universal Studios and Disney to prestigious retailers like Harrods.
Our VG safety products have been adapted for rollercoasters, cruise ship elevators, funicular railways and architectural landmarks around the world, proving our capability to engineer lift safety solutions for even the most demanding applications.
Our lift safety solutions for leisure & tourism
Our VG safety products have been adapted for rollercoaster brake systems at Universal Studios theme parks worldwide, demonstrating our ability to think beyond traditional applications.
For cruise ships, we supply marine-grade components with corrosion-resistant finishes that withstand salt spray while ensuring smooth, silent operation for passenger comfort.
Scenic lift systems require both safety and aesthetics. Our compact components maximise viewing areas while exceeding safety standards, perfect for observation towers and glass elevators. And our roller guides ensure whisper-quiet operation, essential for maintaining ambience in luxury retail environments.
For high-capacity venues, our load weighing systems prevent overloading during peak periods, while our heavy-duty safety gears handle the continuous cycling of millions of annual visitors.
Every component is engineered for reliability, because in leisure and tourism, the show must go on.
