LC119 Back-to-Back Airport Beam Seating
A double-sided back-to-back beam system that doubles the seating density of an island installation without doubling the floor area.
The LC119 is HEWEI's back-to-back airport beam configuration — two facing rows of PU-cushioned seats mounted on a shared central structural assembly, so the unit functions as a freestanding island rather than a wall-mounted run. This geometry is the standard solution for large central dwell zones: the central spine of a gate lounge, a pier waiting area between two opposing gates, or a landside concourse where no wall anchor is available and planners need to maximise seats per square metre. The seat and backrest are moulded integrated PU over a built-in steel frame — the same construction across HEWEI's airport line — with aluminium alloy armrests. The back-to-back arrangement means the structural beam runs centrally under or between the two seat rows, with the overall footprint substantially narrower than two separate back-to-wall runs would require. Units connect end-to-end to form extended island rows, with optional end-cap armrests and tables. The LC119 is one of the higher-unit-cost configurations in the HEWEI airport range (indicative pricing from around USD 280 per three-seat unit upward), reflecting the structural complexity of the double-sided spine. For facilities managers specifying large-volume central lounge fits — a common brief at GCC terminals where gate lounges are deep and passengers dwell for 45–90 minutes before boarding — the LC119 delivers seat count per square metre at a significantly lower cost than lounge-grade individual seats. The 8-year product warranty applies.

Use cases.
- ›Central gate-lounge islands where seating must stand free without wall anchorage
- ›Pier waiting zones serving opposing gates that require double-sided passenger access
- ›Landside concourses and check-in halls needing high-capacity island furniture
- ›Large GCC terminal expansion fits where dwell-zone density is a key design target
- ›Any installation where two back-to-wall runs would waste central floor area
