48 Seats Double Decker Carousel

A double decker carousel is the one ride that guests photograph before they ride it, and the one ride grandparents and toddlers queue for together.

Double decker carousels come in a family of sizes – 38, 48, 68 and 92 seats – and the 48 seat version is the model most parks choose when they want a landmark without a landmark budget.

All figures are reference values and are confirmed in the engineering proposal for your site.

The carousel carries 48 riders across two levels, with horses and bench seating arranged so families can ride together on either floor. The frame is steel with decorative fibreglass figures, trim and canopy, and the package includes LED lighting and music that can be programmed to the park’s theme. Access stairs, platform guardrails and the boarding sequence are part of the design, and the machine ships in container sections with assembly drawings and site support.

Two levels do something a single deck cannot: they create height, they create photographs and they create a landmark that works as the park’s meeting point. Place it where the main walkways meet, light it as a feature after dark, and treat the surrounding square as a stage rather than leftover space. A carousel square also gives the park a marketable image for every advert and map.

The right size is decided by plot area, target attendance and rotation speed rather than by budget alone. A 38 seat machine suits an indoor centre or a compact plot, 48 seats suits a family park that wants a landmark with quick loading, and 68 or 92 seat machines belong in larger parks where a full rotation with a long queue still needs to load quickly. Our 38 seats double decker carousel follows the same construction, and the choice between sizes is really a capacity calculation.

Double deckers are assembled on the platform in a defined sequence, so the installation drawings and the container loading plan matter as much as the machine itself. After opening, the maintenance routine covers the centre bearing, drive and brake, the platform structure, guardrails and stairs, plus the horse rods and figure fixings that guests touch constantly. The carousel mechanism is simple, reliable and easy to inspect, which is why carousels stay in service for decades when they are looked after.

Everything visible is yours to define: Colours, theme, figures, canopy design, lighting, music and platform decoration.

The manufacturer here is the factory itself: design, steelwork, moulding, assembly and testing all happen inside a 125,000 m² production base, and every unit is run under load before it is packed. Family rides ship with restraint specifications, cycle profiles and capacity figures for each configuration.
