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 thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.

Quality that lasts
Welded from square steel pipes to create heavy-duty carousel chassis. The steel surfaces are hot-dip galvanised inside and outside, which has excellent corrosion resistance and is maintenance free.
All metal parts are made from high-quality steel which is hot-dip galvanised inside and outside with lead-free zinc. On the outside, there is an additional layer of powder coating which ensures both excellent corrosion resistance and colourful design expression.
Deck plate of 3mm thick non-skid aluminium or 178mm thick HPL plate.For hotter climates or exposed open playgrounds, KOMPAN recommends HPL deck plate as the aluminium tends to get hot in sunny conditions. Both deck plate options meet safety standards and are low maintenance.
Seat is made of HPL with a thickness of 17.8mm with a very high wearing strength and a unique KOMPAN nonskid surface texture.
The roller system is designed with a fully closed lifetime lubricated centre bearing and is supported by 10 wheels with a diameter of 125mm. The outer wheels ensures a smooth rotation under heavy loads.
The outside hot-dip galvanised steel ring clearly indicates where the rotation deck begins. To ensure accessibility, rubber surfacing around the carousel is highly recommended.
