PUR covered rope
Physical
firm grip when spinning and hanging from arms. Arm muscles developed when holding tight.
When playing on this large overhead rotating carousel with two sets of seats & handles, you need to use your strength and hold your balance! This seems to be the best way to describe the kind of play that takes place on the Saturn Carousel. This play equipment includes both physical skills like muscle and cardio whilst strengthening bone density when you jump off and arm, leg and core muscles when helping friends to spin. It also supports social skills through cooperation and team work as well as providing a hang out place for chatting while gently spinning.

Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child “want” or developmentally “need” to undertake the activity and because of this children will want to return to the item over and over again. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.

Quality that lasts
Saturn ropes has six-stranded steel wires and a steel wire core. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn, which is melted onto each individual strand and made from +95% Post-consumer Materials. After initial friction has removed the surface fibres, a harder PES coating remains to protect each strand, making the ropes highly wear- and vandalism-resistant.
The special designed seat is made of a stainless-steel insert covered with a soft layer of PUR rubber. The seat is impact tested to fulfill all global playground standards and the rope has an ergonomic handhold of a 100cm long moulded on PUR rubber handle.
The two angled top handles are made of a moulded PP insert with an outer soft layer of TPV rubber. The handle is attached to the pipe with a galvanised steel inlay to ensure strength and durability.
The steel surfaces are hot dip galvanised inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
Heavy duty engineered bearing system with single row deep groove ball bearings with rubber seals. The fully closed bearing construction is lifetime lubricated and maintenance free.
