Buying notes for the 25m Rotating Tower
Two numbers decide whether a 25m rotating tower is the right step for your park: 19.5 m of operating height for 16 cavaliers, et un 9 x 9 m base that ships in a single 40HQ container.
That combination puts a genuine tower ride into projects that cannot carry the freight and the civil programme of a taller model.
Why the 25m tower is the value step in the range
Height sells tickets, but freight and foundation decide the budget. The 25m tower reaches 19.5 m of operating height from a 9 x 9 m base and arrives in one container, so the money goes into the ride rather than into transport and civil work.
The structure stands 25 m before the lightning rod. For most city parks and resorts that is tall enough to be the landmark without turning the ride into a planning-case project.
One container changes the freight and the schedule
A single 40HQ keeps the logistics simple: one booking, one unloading crane and one set of customs documents. The ride travels at about 12.6 t, so a standard mobile crane handles the lift on delivery day.
Freight tip: Ask for a door-to-door figure rather than a port-to-port one. On a single container the inland leg is often the part buyers forget to budget.
If you are comparing the towers, le 35m tour tournante needs three containers and a heavier crane. That is the real cost of the extra height, and it is worth writing down next to the price difference.
Sixteen riders per cycle: what that does to a peak-hour queue
With 16 seats and a 2.5 à 3 minute cycle, plan for roughly 250 à 320 riders an hour at a steady load factor. On a busy weekend that is enough to keep a queue moving without a long wait.
The lift runs at 1.2 MS, which keeps the cycle predictable: visitors know how long they will stand in line, and that is what stops people walking away.
The descent is the ride
The cabin climbs at 1.2 m/s and comes down at 6.1 MS. The descent is the moment visitors talk about, and the braking system is what makes it repeatable cycle after cycle.
When you compare suppliers, ask how the braking system is tested at the factory and what the maintenance interval is. Both answers belong in the quotation, not in a phone call after the ride is running.
25m rotating tower price and what the step up buys
The indicative factory price starts at US$98,500. Against the 15m tour tournante you are buying height, capacity and a stronger cabin cycle; against the 35m tower you are buying a shorter schedule and a much lighter freight bill.
What the 15m tower saves
A 12-person cabin, un 8 x 8 m base and a lower entry price. It suits indoor positions and tight plots where the 25m tower’s 9 x 9 m base will not sit comfortably.
What the 35m tower adds
28.5 m of operating height on dual hydraulic cylinders and a skyline presence the 25m tower cannot match, at the cost of three containers and a heavier foundation.
Questions buyers ask about the 25m rotating tower
How many riders per hour can we expect?
Plan for roughly 250 à 320 avec un 2.5 à 3 minute cycle. Send us the peak-hour figure you are working to and we will check the cycle against your layout.
What power supply does it need?
70 kW installed with a 62.5 kW entraînement, sur 380 V et 50 Hz. Confirm the supply on site before the order so the cabinet is built for your voltage. If you are sizing the electrical connection, how much power a drop tower needs covers the range from 40 kW à 520 kW.
How much does the tower weigh?
À propos 14 t excluding the hydraulic tank, the electrical cabinet and the enclosure. The foundation drawing lists the loads the base has to take.
Does it fit indoor positions?
The structure stands 25 m, so it belongs outdoors. Indoor projects are better served by the 15m tour tournante.
How long does installation take?
One container arrives, one crane lifts the sections, then assembly and the test run. The exact window depends on your site access, and it is confirmed with the quotation.
What is the after-sales package?
One year free of charge plus lifetime maintenance support, with a recommended spare-parts list available with the quotation.
