20m Ferris Wheel

A twenty metre wheel will not dominate a skyline, but it will become the landmark of a small park, a mall plaza or a resort garden.

Small wheels are the easiest landmark a park can install: modest foundations, quick assembly and a ride that grandparents and toddlers both use.

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

The wheel is a steel structure with a rim, spokes and suspended cabins, mounted on support legs on concrete pads. Cabin type determines capacity and comfort, from open seated cabins for warm climates to semi enclosed cabins with better shading, and the LED lighting package makes the wheel the park’s night time focal point. Because the structure is compact, installation normally needs only a small crane and a prepared foundation rather than major civil works.

City parks, shopping mall plazas, resorts, hotels and family entertainment complexes all suit a wheel in this size range. It gives a venue an attraction that is visible, photogenic and calm – a useful counterweight to thrill rides in a family park. Operators who later want a larger landmark can step up to our 30m ferris wheel using the same layout principles and the same operating routines.

At this height the cabin decides the experience. Open cabins give the best view and suit dry climates, while semi enclosed or shaded cabins keep guests comfortable in tropical sun and light rain, extending the hours the wheel can run. Set the ride duration for the queue you expect – two or three rotations usually satisfies guests without slowing the line on a busy weekend.

Even a small wheel needs the foundation designed against the soil report and the local wind load, because the rim acts as a sail when empty. The assembly sequence, bolt torque values and the electrical connection to the drive should come from the manufacturer’s drawings, and the inspection routine covers the observation wheel centre bearing, cabin hangers, braking and the emergency lowering procedure.

What you can tailor: Wheel height, cabin style, colours, lighting programs and station design.

Equipment like this is manufactured, load tested and container loaded at our 125,000 m² facility, then backed with spare parts and technical advice long after commissioning. Family rides ship with restraint specifications, cycle profiles and capacity figures for each configuration.

Send your park plan and the age groups you want to serve – we will return a layout with capacity, power requirement and pricing.
