Wheelchair Accessible Gondola Swing – Inclusive Playground Swing for Standard Wheelchairs
Gondola swing a wheelchair user rides without transferring. Ramp entry, key lock and five-point safety system. BS EN 1176 certified, for supervised sites.
Overview
A one-person gondola swing that a wheelchair user can ride without leaving their chair. The carer lowers the ramp, the wheelchair rolls into the gondola, and the ramp is raised with side chains and locked by the handrail. The rider then starts and stops the swing independently with two pull ropes. A five-point safety system — key lock, entry skid, upper shock absorber, ramp-locking hoop and rubber bumpers — keeps use controlled, and a RADAR key is available. The swing is designed for supervised sites; we recommend a fence around it, the key lock and an information board. Suitable from 18 months, with a 500 kg weight limit, it suits SEN schools, council parks and inclusive play areas. Certified to BS EN 1176. For powered or larger chairs, see our large wheelchair gondola swing.
