Open chairlifts in 2-person and 4-person configurations — the practical choice for ski resorts, hillside parks and scenic viewpoints where an enclosed cabin isn't needed. Light structure, small station footprint and quick installation make them the most cost-effective way to move people up a slope.
Fixed-grip chairlifts suit lines under about 1500 m, where their simple, robust design gives the best value. For longer or higher-capacity lines, a detachable gondola is usually the better choice.
| Configuration | Seats | Grip type | Typical use | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-Person Chair | 2 | Fixed-grip | Small ski areas, short scenic links | Lightest option; smallest station |
| 4-Person Chair | 4 | Fixed-grip | Ski resorts, hillside parks | Higher throughput per chair |
| Enclosed alternative | 4–8 | Detachable / fixed-grip | All-weather, longer routes | See gondola cabins |
The right choice depends on climate, distance and passenger comfort expectations.
