Gondola - Large Multi-Child Rocking Unit for Playgrounds

In brief — Gondola – Large Multi-Child Rocking Unit for Playgrounds: dimensions 350 × 75 × 254 cm, material steel, free fall height 1,0 m, age range 3 to 14 years, standards EN 1176, certification certificate of conformity from an independent certification body, price on quotation.

Rocking play is usually a solo pleasure – the Gondola makes it a crew activity. Three and a half metres long and mounted on eight maintenance-free metal-rubber joints, this large oscillating unit lets several children ride together, holding the ropes as the platform swings beneath them in a smooth collective motion.

Shared motion, shared laughter

Group rocking creates a different kind of play: children coordinate, negotiate the rhythm and pull each other into the game. The 2.54 m frame with its braided rope holds gives riders of different sizes something to grip at their own height, while the anti-slip sheet platform keeps footing secure through every swing.

Frequently asked questions

Why eight joints instead of two?

The eight metal-rubber joints spread the loads of several simultaneous riders and produce the Gondola’s characteristic smooth, damped swing – with nothing to lubricate or service.

What surfacing does the Gondola require?

An impact-attenuating surface rated for the 1.0 m free fall height must cover the 6.5 x 2.75 m safety space; we quote unit and surfacing together.

Where does it fit in a play-area plan?

As the social centrepiece of a rocking zone – typically alongside individual springers such as the Surfboard, Ball and Tube from the same range.
