The wildly thrilling Saturn Carousel is an irresistible play invitation for older children. With its four rope-suspended seats and its stable overhead handles, the Saturn Carousel can be pushed and pulled into a milder or wilder spin. This variation encourages repeated play for brave hearts as well as more timid players. Socially, the Saturn Carousel trains children’s turn-taking and teamwork skills. It provides a place to hang when chatting. Physically, the pushing, pulling, and running the carousel into motion train the upper and lower body muscles of the children. The heartbeat speeds up when running the carousel into motion. Last, but not least, the senses of balance and space get trained intensely when standing, sitting, or hanging in the arms while spinning, wildly or mildly.

This product, Saturn 4 Carousel (GXY958), is provided by KOMPAN United States.
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. After initial friction has removed the surface fibers, 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 molded on PUR rubber handle.
The two angled top handles are made of a molded PP insert with an outer soft layer of TPV rubber. The handle is attached to the pipe with a galvanized steel inlay to ensure strength and durability.
The steel surfaces are hot-dip galvanized inside and outside with lead-free zinc. The galvanization has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires minimal 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.
Our product and sustainability data validation help customers make informed sustainable buying choices based on methods validated by Bureau Veritas.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
