General Informations

Our division employs its creative genius to generate various innovative architectural solutions for Giant Wheels.
 
The picture below displays one example of a method architects used to develop non-traditional avenues, and their desire to use the Giant Wheel as a new architectural object. These ideas enable you to create an incomparable solution for your Wheel that is not found anywhere else in the world.

Vehicles / Cabins

This Wheel model has Special Designed Swiss Closed Cabins, all manufactured with aluminium structures connected with special rivets.

The design provides a perfect passenger’s experience due to the use of superior quality materials offering comfort and high visibility (full Glazing) to its guests. Front doors are opening and closing automatically with special electric motors integrated in the ceiling. A special highly powered Air-conditioning Unit is installed on top of each Cabin.

Specifications

This design represents a Special type of Wheel and has undergone various improvements and innovations with respect to the initial design.

All Cabins or Vehicles are designed to seat 8 guests maximum. Main columns are round shaped, the rotating structure contains less spokes (two vehicles each spoke), thus increasing the wind resistance. Special “high Technology” axles are used for Wheel Types “80 “and over.

High resistance to Wind Speed and Seismic factors due to a special patented innovation that allows us to spread stress in a proper way amongst the structure. Easy solution for structural elements transportation and installation, especially for the Wheel Types “80” and over In addition this Wheel could be completed with other options such as Ticket Booth, Control Room or a special Roof to protect bystanders from sun and rain.

Illumination

The basic version provides an E14 size LED Bulb installed on a traditional Cabochons but also RGB LED will be available already provided for in the light program.

The market offers also some special rectangular sized RGB LEDs, only in multicolour version, that allow also a remote control.

These versions are more fit to be installed on the spokes. Another proposal is the new RBG LED SPOT-6 (multicolour) with some very powerful LEDs mounted in one unique spot light, a perfect solution to be installed on the Wheel Rim and allows also a build-in program or remote control. The latest novelty is represented by RBG LED FL-BAR that contains different multi colored LED lights or single bars with 7 led lights (with approx. 10 mm distance one from another). This system provides enormous additional light possibilities.

Drive System

Drive System consists in AC Motors, gearboxes and tyres to move the WHEEL in “continuous rotation” during normal operation. The Drive System is connected to the Main Support Frame and its tyres will act on the circumference Rim creating friction. The Drive system is designed in such a way that in the case of one pair of motors show a failure the Wheel can be continued to operate.
