Professional Supplier Outdoor Big Swing Amusement Rides Ferris Wheel

The Ferris wheel, sometimes is also called a big wheel, observation wheel or giant wheel, which is one of the most popular amusement rides in many large amusement parks. It is an indispensable amusement equipment in the amusement park, and it also represents the scale and advanced level of the amusement park. Of course the Ferris wheel can also become an independent and distinctive attraction. Giant Ferries Wheel is not only an amusement equipment for tourists but a landmark building for one region’s municipal works.

The Ferris wheel is a large, revolving mechanical building with a cockpit on the edge of the wheel for passengers to take. The passengers sit on the Ferris wheel and slowly turn up, overlooking the surroundings from a height. The design height of the Ferris wheel ranges from 22 meters to 120 meters. The structure of the Ferris wheel is flower type, truss type and Y type.

Technical Parameter of Ferris Wheel Rides

 Details of Ferris Wheel Rides

The construction technology and method of Ferris wheel structure should be specified according to the specific structure form and site conditions. At present, the construction methods of the existing Ferris wheel structure can be summarized into the following three types.

Ground assembly and integral hoisting method

The steel structure of Ferris wheel flange is processed and assembled in sections in the factory. After being transported to the site, the wheel flange is assembled as a whole, and then connected with the internal rigid truss support or flexible steel cable system. Finally, it is hoisted in place as a whole. London Eye adopts this construction method. The steel pipe truss of the wheel flange is divided into three sections, processed in the factory, transported to the site and assembled as a whole. Then the steel cables inside the wheel flange are installed and tensioned, and the prestress is introduced. Finally, the wheel disc structure and the supporting tower structure are formed into a whole structure, and then the hoisting is carried out.

The ground assembly and integral hoisting method is conducive to the installation of steel structure, and the installation accuracy is easy to guarantee, but the ferris wheel structure scale and weight are generally large, so it needs larger construction site and stronger hoisting capacity.

Center rotation installation method

The central rotation installation method refers to that after the supporting tower and axle are installed in place, the tower is used to set up the working platform, or the lifting system is used to install the ferris wheel structure system from the center to the outside circle by circle. It is widely used in some small and medium-sized Ferris wheel installation projects.

Vertical rotation installation method

The vertical rotation installation method refers to the construction method that the temporary rigid spoke is used to drive the sectional flange and steel cable to rotate and install after the supporting tower and axle are installed in place. The vertical rotation installation method can be divided into one-sided rotation installation method and two-sided rotation installation method, which is suitable for the flexible Ferris wheel structure system with centripetal force provided by steel cables. This method has been used in Tianjin Cihai Bridge Ferris wheel structure.

The vertical rotation installation method can avoid a lot of high-altitude work, and the risk is low; However, it needs a large traction power system and a good braking system, especially the two side rotating installation method, and special treatment for the center axle of Ferris wheel.
