Double Sided Ferris Wheel Ride

Why a Double-Faced Wheel Earns Its Corner

A wheel pays for its space when guests spot it from the entrance and decide to ride before they reach the ticket desk. The 5FW-14 mounts ten cabins on a five metre wheel, with gondolas on both faces, so the structure reads as a solid, symmetrical landmark instead of a thin ring.

Rotation runs at 0.2 m/s, a walking pace that suits small children, grandparents and anyone who wants the view without a rush of adrenaline. Parks that already run a gentle mini ferris wheel may place a double-faced model beside it to strengthen the skyline; the two sit well together in one family cluster.

What Operators Check Before Ordering

• Whether the covered area fits the plot you have already levelled and fenced.
• How the wheel will read against existing structures from the main walkway.
• Cabins per cycle and the boarding time your attendants can realistically hold.
• CE documentation and the inspection schedule your safety team has to file.

Drawings and a specification pack settle each point before a deposit is placed.

Footprint, Power and Rotation Speed

The installed envelope is six metres by six metres, which most operators can release from an existing plaza. Drive power sits at 7.5 kW, a draw a standard park supply carries without a dedicated substation. Frame members combine FRP with a steel structure.

Loading, Setup and Support Terms

Ten cabins give twenty seats per cycle. On a slow wheel the constraint is rarely the drive; it is how quickly staff seat families and check bars. Two attendants working opposite sides of the platform keep dwell time short, and a clear lane stops boarding from spilling into the main path. Operators comparing this with a giant observation wheel will find the loading logic identical at a smaller scale.

Installation follows photo and video guidance, or a crew can be arranged for sites without a technical team. The unit ships in export packaging sized for container loading, and the spare-part list stays short and standardised so a replacement cabin panel is not a long lead item. CE certification covers the ride as delivered, and the handover pack includes the manual your safety officer will keep.
