The Rexroth-designed drive system comprises a powerful, nearly maintenance-free hydraulic power unit. In addition, the company’s hydraulic motors will drive 32 special tires that contact the 648-foot diameter wheel, making it rotate at a constant speed of three times an hour. A fail-safe backup system ensures reliable operation, even if a fault develops in the main circuit. The Rexroth drive concept has already been operating successfully on England’s London Eye, which is currently the largest Great Wheel in Europe.

The 48 capsules on the Great Beijing Wheel each provide space for 40 passengers who can enter and exit while the wheel is turning. Each capsule is equipped with a state-of-the-art audio and visual information system that describes Beijing and the surrounding area, including the Gate of Heavenly Peace in the Forbidden City.

北京摩天輪擁有48個艙位
，在摩天輪旋轉的時候每個艙位的空間足夠容納40個乘客進出。每個艙位配備頂級的音頻和視覺信息係統，介紹北京和周邊的情況
，包括紫禁城的天安門。

Bosch Rexroth is supplying the automation equipment for the moving boarding stations. The stations will be synchronized with the motion of the Great Wheel, and will be located on either side. To avoid unnecessary stops and starts and the potential loss of inertial energy on the wheel, passengers will board via special cars on a separate track. These cars will then travel alongside to match the speed of the wheel at the bottom of its rotation so passengers can transfer in and out of the cars. As a result, nearly 5,800 passengers per hour will be able to enjoy the fantastic view over Beijing.
