Freefall and drop tower rides require stable power, data and positioning systems to ensure guest safety and consistent operation. VAHLE Inc. delivers automation-ready electrification solutions designed for high-cycle uptime in North American theme parks.
Freefall towers, also called drop towers, deliver a high-intensity guest experience with rapid acceleration, controlled braking and repeatable ride cycles. To operate safely and consistently in North American theme parks, these attractions require coordinated systems for power supply, data communication and positioning, designed for continuous outdoor operation.
VAHLE solutions are engineered for continuous-duty vertical operation and designed for seamless integration with ride control systems, braking modules and safety interlocks. Our conductor bar and contactless power solutions deliver continuous energy to tower-mounted ride vehicles, while integrated data systems help ensure repeatable, secure motion profiles. From launch to brake zone, VAHLE Inc. helps keep freefall rides running smoothly, safely and predictably — with lifecycle support from our North American team.
VAHLE Inc. also supports ride OEMs and theme park operators across North America with application expertise and service options such as training, routine maintenance and inspections, helping keep freefall towers operating safely and efficiently.
Your Vision. Our Solution.
The KBH is a contact-protected safety conductor bar for almost all applications in the low to medium power range (up to 200 A). It is a robust and inexpensive power supply that is also easy to install.
With the SMGX, the tried-and-tested SMGM system has been adapted for outdoor use. It is based on the functional principle of the SMGM, but has particularly robust mechanical components and also guarantees significantly higher tolerances. The shielded slotted waveguide enables high transmission rates and prevents unwanted interference signals from inside or outside.
The lightweight types U15, U25 and U35 are particularly easy to maintain thanks to their open design. Thanks to different conductor materials, they are also particularly flexible to install.
Thanks to their high wear resistance and resistance to acids, the U20 and U30 conductor rails are reliable energy suppliers even in harsh environments and with complex and curved track layouts.
