Antike Vergnügungfahrten zum Verkauf

Antique amusement rides are a style rather than a date. The craftsmen we build for are not hunting for a century-old machine – they want a ride that looks like one, with current engineering underneath, a service life measured in years and spare parts that still exist in five years’ time.

That is what this page covers: the antique carousel and how a vintage finish is specified, the wheels and trains that share the same visual language, and what changes in the project when the finish is hand-worked rather than standard.

Antique amusement rides: buying a style, not a date

Three things separate a vintage build from a standard one, and none of them is the frame.

The antique carousel: vintage finish on a current build

The carousel takes a vintage finish in any of the larger platforms, so the style is not tied to one size.

The 36-seat luxury carousel in a vintage finish is the build most parks order: ein 11 m platform inside a 13 m eingezäunter Kreis, 10 Ich bin groß, rotating at 5 rpm with a 130 mm Pferdehebehub. The two-level 38 and 48-seat rides take the same treatment when the vintage carousel is meant to be the landmark of the ground. We also build a 24-seat lower-drive carousel in the period style with war-horse figures, which suits a heritage site where the ride sits close to its visitors. Der Big Merry gehen page compares the single-deck platforms above this size, und die Karussellsortiment puts every platform in one list.

Designing a vintage ride: malen, wood and lamps

The vintage look is a set of decisions made at the drawing stage, and they are expensive to add later.

The design direction comes from the steam age. We study period locomotives and fairground equipment, then translate that library of shapes into the canopy, cornice and centre pillar of the carousel: ornate mouldings, floral patterns painted on the centre column, and a palette in deep browns, creams and aged gold rather than the bright colours of a modern ride.

The floor is the second decision. A 10 mm anti-corrosion wood floor suits a vintage build and reads correctly under the figures; A 1.5 mm aluminium checkered plate floor is the better choice for a classic or animal theme that will see heavier foot traffic. Both are quoted with the ride.

The third is the lighting. Period-style lamp housings with modern lamps inside, wired into the canopy rather than clipped on, keep the ride looking right at night while staying serviceable. The drive and the electrical package are current regardless of the finish: Zahnradgetriebe, 380 V dreiphasig, and the same inspection documents as every other build.

An antique ride set: Karussell, ferris wheel and train

Vintage styling works best as a set, because three rides sharing one visual language turn a corner of a park into a place rather than three separate attractions.

The trains carry the same direction further. The antique train seats 16 Zu 24 Reiter, runs on a 4 kW battery set and ships in one 20GP container at about 2,000 kg, with a body styled on a steam locomotive. Where the ground plan suits track, the rail versions use an eight-shape, circular or elliptical layout with the track length set to your site, and the rail is quoted by the metre on top of the ride. Der 36-Personenzug und die großer Radzug are the larger directions if the vintage train is meant to move crowds rather than decorate a zone. Der Riesenrad direction runs from the 30 m wheel up to the 120 m build, with the lighting package quoted alongside.

What a vintage build changes in the project

Four practical differences to plan for, and none of them is a compromise on the engineering.

• Production runs longer, because the finish is hand-worked. The date is confirmed in writing with the quotation rather than assumed
• Spares are part of the order: decorative mouldings, lamp housings and figure sets are listed so a replacement matches the original finish
• Maintenance is a touch-up routine rather than a repaint. Keep the paint codes from the handover documents and the finish stays consistent
• The documents do not change with the style: the frame and drive inspection records, the manual and the spare list are issued exactly as they are on a standard build
