It is very important to consider the weight limit of the swing when buying a swing. There are many factors that affect the load-bearing capacity of the swing. The following is a moredetailed description of the swing weight limit and related factors analysis. I hope it can help you buy a swing better.
Weight limits for common swings
plastic swing set
Single swings are usually smaller, simple in design, and made of lightweight plastic. They are mainly for younger children and can usually withstand a weight of 35-50kg. There are common plastic children's swings, which are generally suitable for children aged 3-5 years old.
wooden swing set swings
Wooden swings are generally available in single or double styles. They are relatively more stable in structure and stronger in material than plastic swings. If the manufacturing and craftsmanship of a good wooden swing are up to standard, then the wooden swing can be used by two older children, and the total load-bearing capacity can also reach a higher weight.
metalswing set swings
commercial metal swing sets are often found in kindergartens or indoor playgrounds, combined with other amusement facilities such as slides. The design of the metal swing part is mainly based on the weight of the child, and the load-bearing capacity is generally more than 100 kg.
Factors affecting the load-bearing capacity of a swing
Material analyse
commercial metal swing sets such as steel and iron are generally stronger and have stronger load-bearing capacity than wooden swing set swings and plastic swing set; wooden materials have average load-bearing capacity. If the swing is made of high-quality wood, it can bear a certain weight, but it is not as good as metal materials; plastic materials are relatively light but the load-bearing capacity is generally poor.
Structure analyse
Swings with simple structures have relatively low load-bearing capacity; while those with complex structures, better craftsmanship materials and more support points have stronger load-bearing capacity.Manufacturing process technology analyse
Swings with strong connection processes such as welding and riveting can better bear weight; on the contrary, swings with loose connections are unsafe and have poor load-bearing capacity.
Installation method analyse
Swings installed on a solid and firm swing can bear greater weight; if installed on an unstable swing, the load-bearing capacity will be relatively poor, so when using a swing, you must strictly follow the standards to ensure safe use.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a swing. I hope the above factors can help you better choose to buy a swing. If you are interested in purchasing a swing, please contact us for more information.
