36 Seats Swing Chair Ride Specifications
The ride turns a 9.4 m rotor inside a 20 m site, lifting guests 2 m as it spins at 7.5 rpm with a running tilt of 15 degrés. Static height is 9.2 m and the fun height is around 5 m, which keeps the ride comfortable for families while still feeling like flight. The drive is a 50 kW unit on a standard 380 V alimentation, and the frame uses square section steel with a decorative canopy and suspended chairs.
Capacity Without the Queue
Thirty six seats per cycle is a serious throughput advantage on a busy weekend. With a short loading sequence and two attendants working both sides of the platform, the ride can turn cycles quickly, and because the motion is gentle, families often ride twice in the same visit. Pair it with a 24 sièges en chaise volante where you need a smaller footprint, or use the 36 seat version as the family centrepiece of a larger zone.
Siting a Swing Chair Ride
Le 20 m operating circle is the number that decides your layout, and it must stay clear of trees, lighting columns and fences. Leave at least one side open for spectators and place the boarding gate away from the main walkway so queues do not block circulation. Chair rides look best in an open plaza where the rotation is visible from several directions, and they benefit more from landscaping than from enclosing walls.
Chains, Restraints and Daily Checks
Suspension chains, chair fixings and the rotor bearings carry the load, so they lead the inspection list. Check chain links and connectors daily, verify restraint locking on every chair, and inspect rotor bolts, drive coupling and brake behaviour weekly. Rotating machinery of this type is governed by torque limits at the drive and gearbox, so gearbox oil level and coupling condition belong on the monthly schedule.
