There are multiple factors behind the high price of commercial playground equipment, which can be comprehensively analyzed from multiple perspectives such as design, manufacturing, materials, regulations, safety, and market.
1. Design and R&D costs
In order to attract children's attention, children's commercial playgrounds are designed to take into account children's entertainment experience, including novelty and interactivity, and often need to have multiple functions, such as applicability for different age groups, high-tech integration, etc., which increases the complexity of the design.
2. Technology R&D
Many equipment in commercial playgrounds also incorporate new technologies, such as VR, AR, IoT, etc. The R&D and application costs of these technologies are high. These equipment require a lot of testing and optimization from design to finished products, including safety testing, reliability testing, etc.
3. High-quality materials
In order to ensure the safety of children in the playground, commercial playground equipment needs to use high-durability and high-safety materials, such as high-strength steel, UV-resistant plastics, polymer materials, etc., which are expensive.
4. Safety certification
In order to ensure the safety of the equipment during operation, many commercial playground equipment need to pass multiple international certifications, such as CE, ASTM, ISO, etc. These certification processes are complicated and expensive.
5. Operating costs
Commercial playground equipment usually needs to purchase high insurance to cover potential legal liabilities and risks, and must pass the review and inspection of relevant departments regularly, which also increases operating costs.
6. Continuous innovation
In order to maintain market competitiveness, some children's playground equipment suppliers need to constantly understand market demand for new product development and improvement, and invest in technology and products. This part of the R&D cost is usually high and requires a lot of time and money, which also increases costs.
7. Installation costs
The installation of some large commercial playground equipment requires professional engineering teams and equipment, which greatly increases the initial installation cost. After the installation is completed, the equipment also needs to be debugged to ensure safety and normal function, which is usually a high cost.
8. Maintenance and care
During the operation of the equipment, it is inevitable that there will be failures. In order to ensure the long-term operation and safety of commercial playground equipment, you are required to regularly maintain the equipment. The cost of repairing and replacing parts is usually high, and you also need to include this part of the cost in your budget.
9. Transportation and logistics costs
Half of the commercial playground equipment is generally large in size and heavy in weight, requiring the use of professional transportation tools and safety measures. If the equipment needs to be exported, international transportation fees and tariffs must be paid, which significantly increases the cost.
10. Customized services
Many commercial playground park suppliers will provide customers with customized services to meet their special needs, providing a full range of services from design, installation, to maintenance. This comprehensive service also increases the overall cost of the equipment.
