Design and build
The wheel uses a main shaft configuration and a pure steel cable structure. All engineering details are developed to meet the standards required by your market, confirmed per project. The design prioritises structural integrity and smooth operation. The cabin layout ensures easy access and a comfortable experience for riders. The ride is fixed in place, making it suitable for permanent installations.
Site and installation
The equipment requires a projected footprint of 64m by 40m, with a foundation area of 34m by 40m. Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel following the provided guidelines. Site preparation should account for the operating height of 64m and the overall height of 66m. The installed power requirement is 144kVA, and power supply should be arranged accordingly. Local soil conditions and wind loads should be assessed by a structural engineer.
Operating notes
Daily inspections and routine maintenance are essential for safe operation. The ride should be operated within the specified speed and load limits. Cabin capacity must not exceed 6 persons. Emergency procedures and evacuation plans should be in place and practiced. The 20-year design life assumes proper maintenance and adherence to operating guidelines.
