Description
The Fun Ladder kids horizontal ladder is a children’s outdoor fitness station supplied and installed throughout France by Light In Fitness. Rung by rung, arm after arm, the child travels suspended along the full length of the ladder – the timeless centrepiece of any motor-skills course.
The classic that never empties
Ask any playground manager which piece of equipment always has a queue: the horizontal ladder. Traversing it demands grip, pulling strength and core tension all at once, and children set their own difficulty simply by moving faster or chaining more crossings. It is also the natural first step towards street workout – the same hanging mechanics scaled to children’s hands and heights.
What the child works
- Lats and biceps
- Grip strength
- Abdominal bracing
- Contralateral coordination
Why choose this model
- The classic of motor-skills courses, never deserted by children
- Three colours available: yellow, green and red
- Horizontal travel: difficulty is dosed by speed and number of crossings
- Compatible with EN 1177 impact-attenuating surfacing
Two compliance versions: EN 16630 or EN 1176
The Fun Ladder exists in an EN 16630 version (free-access outdoor fitness equipment, intended for users of at least 1.40 m) and an EN 1176 version (playground equipment standard, governing free spaces, entrapment and free fall height, with EN 1177 surfacing where required). Because a horizontal ladder involves hanging height, the compliance version and surfacing are specified together on the layout plan; Light In Fitness confirms the correct combination for your site before quoting.

Frequently asked questions
Why is a horizontal ladder so valuable for children?
Few playground movements combine grip, pulling strength and core control in one exercise. Traversing also trains contralateral coordination – alternating opposite arms – which supports broader motor development.
What surfacing goes underneath?
Because the child hangs above the ground, impact-attenuating surfacing to EN 1177 is specified whenever the free fall height requires it. The exact build-up is stated on your quotation.
Is it a good introduction to street workout?
Yes – the hanging traverse is the same fundamental pattern used on adult monkey bars. Children who master the Fun Ladder move naturally onto street workout structures later on.
