Roundabouts traditional and new are part of Wicksteed Leisure's range of playground equipment.
Wicksteed believe that no playground is complete without roundabouts, swings, slides and see-saws. The excitement of the roundabout ride involves energetic play and co-operation with other children.
All metalwork on Wicksteed roundabouts is pre-treated with a zinc metal thermal spray, finished with a polyester powder coating conforming to BS 5665 and EN 71.
Eight Wicksteed roundabouts covering the age range 2 to 16 years include new concepts in roundabouts, for toddlers, children and teenagers, all Kitemarked to BS EN 1176 and a new design for disabled children in wheelchairs is part of Wicksteed's integrated play development.
The all-metal construction is ideal for roundabouts in play areas where vandalism can be a problem, public playgrounds, schools, pubs and village greens.
The range of Wicksteed roundabouts includes units with an optional hydraulic speed restrictor. This prevents excessive spinning speeds, whilst offering no resistance when roundabouts rotate at lower speeds.
- With a diameter of 375mm, Turnstile roundabouts for toddlers are compact, equally suitable for small sites or adding play value into larger playgrounds.
- Speedway roundabouts feed the imagination of toddlers and provides them with a great deal of fun and enjoyment.
- Whirly-Bird is a roundabout for age range 2 to 5 years with cradle seats or 4 to 7 years with standard seats.
- Toddlers grip the static centre wheel of Sputnik roundabouts and turn the outer frame.
- 2 metre diameter Spiro-Whirl roundabouts are a popular choice with children and specifiers alike.
- A 2.5 metre diameter attractively designed, heavy-duty roundabout, the Rota-rider is ideal for older children.
Wicksteed strongly recommends the installation of Wicksteed Safety Tiles or Continuous Safety Surfacing under roundabouts.
