Safety & Certifications
Seat design should not allow the rocker to be used by more than the intended number of users.There is at least 9 feet between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces are more than 30 inches high; and The spring rocker is designed to be used from a seated position.
For toddlers: The seat should be between 12 and 16 inches high.Spring rockers with opposing seats intended for more than one child should have at least 37 inches between the seat centers.
For preschoolers:The seat should be between 14 and 28 inches high.Each seating position should be equipped with handgrips and footrests.
The diameter of handgrips should follow the recommendations for hand gripping components in the springs of rocking equipment should minimize the possibility of children crushing their hands or their feet between coils or between the spring and a part of the rocker.The use zone should extend a minimum of 6 feet from the “at rest” perimeter of the equipment.The use zone may overlap with neighboring equipment if the other piece of equipment allows overlapping use zones and There is at least 6 feet between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces are no more than 30 inches high; or There is at least 9 feet between equipment when adjacent designated play surfaces are more than 30 inches high; and The spring rocker is designed to be used from a seated position. The fall height of spring rockers is the distance between either (1) the highest designated playing surface or (2) the seat, whichever is higher, and the protective surfacing beneath it.
Installation & Maintenance
For most spring riders, there are two common installation methods: in-ground installation and surface mounting. Below is an overview of each option:
1. In-Ground Installation
In-ground spring riders are securely fixed into the ground using a concrete foundation.
This installation method provides excellent stability and is widely used in parks and public playgrounds. The process is slightly more complex, as it requires digging a hole, positioning the anchor, and pouring concrete to fix the spring rider firmly in place.
2. Surface Mount Installation
Surface mounting is used when the playground already has a concrete base, such as poured concrete, artificial turf with a solid foundation, or playground safety tiles installed over concrete.
Please note that the equipment must be anchored to the concrete foundation and should never be installed directly on loose or unsupported surfaces.
Compared to in-ground installation, surface mounting is generally quicker and easier, making it a convenient option for many projects.
How to Maintain a Spring Rider
Proper maintenance ensures safety, durability, and long service life of the spring rider.
1. Regular Inspection
Check the spring, handles, footrests, and all connections regularly to ensure everything is secure and in good condition. Tighten any loose bolts or fasteners.
2. Check the Spring
Inspect the metal spring for cracks, deformation, or corrosion. If any damage is found, replace it immediately to ensure safety.
3. Clean the Surface
Clean the HDPE panels and metal parts with mild soap and water to remove dirt, dust, and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals that may damage the material.
4. Lubrication
Apply suitable lubricant to moving parts if necessary to ensure smooth motion and reduce wear.
5. Check Ground Fixing
Ensure the base remains firmly fixed to the ground (whether in-ground or bolted). Re-tighten expansion bolts if needed.
6. Safety Check
Make sure there are no sharp edges, cracks, or broken parts that could cause injury to children.
7. Routine Maintenance Schedule
Perform basic checks weekly and a more thorough inspection monthly for commercial or public playground use.
