Description
The Hippo spring rocker has the broadest, most solid profile in the range, which suits play areas built around a safari or zoo theme. The body is cut from weather-resistant HDPE panel, mounted on a single central spring and fitted with ergonomic plastic handles.
Design and play value
The heavy, rounded shape reads as friendly rather than fast, and it tends to attract the more cautious children in a group, the ones who watch a play area for several minutes before committing to it. In a mixed installation this is a useful counterweight to the vehicle models, which pull the confident children first.
- Central spring giving a stable, self-limiting rocking motion
- Ergonomic injection-moulded plastic handles
- Weather-resistant HDPE panel body
- Ground anchor supplied

Installation and siting
Allow the 4.0 x 3.5 m safety area and a 0.6 m foundation. The model is a frequent choice for zoo and wildlife park play areas, garden centres and themed sections of municipal parks, where it sits alongside the other animal figures in the range.
Maintenance
Inspection follows the routine, operational and annual regime set out in EN 1176. In practice the items that need attention over time are the spring fixings and the handles; both are stocked as spare parts.
Delivery and documentation
The rocker is delivered with the ground anchor, the installation instructions and the maintenance schedule, together with the certificate of conformity. Lead times depend on the finish and the quantity ordered, and we confirm them in writing with the quotation rather than after the order is placed.
Frequently asked questions
Which models combine well with the hippo?
The hedgehog, the snail and the frog build a coherent animal group. Mixing in one vehicle model gives children who are not interested in animals a reason to use the same corner.
Does the rocking motion have a stop?
The movement is limited by the spring itself, which returns the body to the vertical. There is no separate mechanical stop to adjust or maintain.
What documentation is supplied?
Installation instructions, the maintenance schedule and the certificate of conformity to EN 1176 issued by an independent certification body, together with the implantation drawing prepared for your site.
