Key Details
Activities
Product Description
The Duck Spring Rider is engineered for durability and imaginative play in high-traffic public spaces. The main body is crafted from dual-color, UV-stabilized HDPE panels that resist fading and cracking, while the heavy-duty spring is made from high-quality alloy steel with a powder-coated finish to prevent rust. Safety is paramount; the unit is designed to meet EN1176 and CE standards, featuring rounded edges and ergonomic handles for a secure grip. Maintenance involves monthly inspections of the spring's tension and the base plate's stability, along with simple cleaning using mild soap and water. For projects in Singapore, this equipment is specifically treated with C5-M marine-grade anti-corrosion coatings on all metal components to withstand the intense tropical humidity and coastal salt spray. The high-humidity resistance ensures the spring maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal even in the most demanding equatorial environments, making it a reliable choice for urban parks and residential play zones across the city-state.
Rain-resistant galvanized steel with drainage-optimized joint design prevents moisture pooling and corrosion.

Safety & Installation
Regulatory Compliance
This Duck Spring Rider is engineered to meet rigorous EN1176 and ASTM F1487 safety standards, ensuring structural integrity for public use. The high-density polyethylene (HDPE) panels are UV-stabilized to prevent degradation, while the heavy-duty steel spring features an anti-pinch design to protect small fingers. All metal components, including the base plate, are hot-dip galvanized or powder-coated for superior corrosion resistance in outdoor environments.
Safety Zone & Surfacing
With a low critical fall height of approximately 0.5 meters, this equipment requires a minimal safety buffer of 1.5 meters in all directions. We recommend high-impact absorbing surfacing such as EPDM rubber granules or synthetic turf to ensure a soft landing for toddlers.
Installation & Engineering Support
The compact footprint allows for easy integration into existing play areas via a surface-mount steel base plate. Installation typically requires standard concrete footings for the base plate to ensure stability during vigorous rocking. This unit ships partially assembled, requiring only the attachment of the HDPE panels and handles to the spring mechanism.
