Hydraulic locking unit (HLU)

Attractions in amusement parks and fairgrounds are popular for young and old. But roller coasters have to be more and more attractive - often to the physical limits of man and material. Safety is a must here - without compromise.

For decades, the leading manufacturers of amusement rides have relied on hydraulic locking units from HAWE and have thus gained the trust of numerous operators of amusement parks and amusement rides.

You can learn more about the detailed functionality and sizes of our hydraulic locking units HLU also on our application page or in our brochure.

Our whitepaper deals with the requirements which are relevant for passenger restraint systems at VR rides. It also shows that hydraulic locking units from HAWE have set standards in this application.

*Note: Since the risk of contamination (and thus the risk of failure) is too high for partial repairs, repairs of old units are generally excluded

VR-Rides

Virtual reality is booming in amusement parks. Completely new, digitally programmable worlds of experience open up to the passengers at the moment when the ride is complemented by VR glasses. The whitepaper "Technical and safety requirements for restraint systems for VR rides" describes the use of hydraulic locking units for VR rides.

Robot simulators

Another innovative application are robot simulators, whether for the leisure sector or for training and education. The hydraulic locking units are TÜV-certified and thus ensure 100% safety for this attraction.

Roller coasters

It is hard to imagine roller coasters without passenger restraint systems. HAWE's HLU´s are customer-specific, the probability of failure is less than one billion operating hours each and the units are low-maintenance and have a service life of 7 years.
