Abstract	Complementary to the physics research at the LHC, sev- eral fixed target facilities receive beams from the LHC in- jector complex. To serve the fixed target physics program at the Super Proton Synchrotron, high-intensity proton beams from the Proton Synchrotron are extracted using the Multi- Turn Extraction technique based on trapping parts of the beam in stable resonance islands. Considering the num- ber of protons requested by future experimental fixed target facilities, such as the Search for Hidden Particles experi- ment, the currently operationally delivered beam intensities are insufficient. Therefore, experimental studies have been conducted to optimize the Multi-Turn Extraction technique and to exploit the possible intensity reach. The results of these studies along with the operational performance of high- intensity beams during the 2017 run are presented in this paper. Furthermore, the impact of the hardware changes pur- sued in the framework of the LHC Injectors Upgrade project on the high-intensity beam properties is briefly mentioned.
