Our exciting Chain and Pulley Materials Mover gives children a hands on way to shift mud sand or water from one play zone to another while sparking their curiosity and sense of adventure. The enclosed pulley system keeps everything safe and visible as children send materials on a journey across the playground.
Instead of a rope this system uses a sturdy smooth running chain with a bucket securely suspended from it overhead. The chain rises and falls through one of the vertical posts where children can pull and guide it to move the bucket along the track. Every turn and pull helps them understand how real mechanisms work while giving them a fun purpose driven task.
Connect a planting area to a mud kitchen a sandpit to a construction zone or a water source to a water wall and watch teamwork blossom. Children collaborate chat plan and experiment as they transport materials building both social skills and early scientific understanding along the way.
- Size (L x H): Up to 3000mm x 1800mm
- Clear polycarbonate-fronted steel pulley enclosures (so you can see the workings!)
- Nylon pulley wheels
- Static abseil rope (so it doesn't stretch and sag further)
- Fully tensionable pulley enclosure (use a spanner to add more tension)
- Pentagon-design rope clamp (easy to re-tighten as part of regular maintenance)
Guidance for use:
- Must be used under teacher supervision only.
- Ropes must be kept taught by maintaining the rope tension, by using a spanner on the bolt securing the tensioning enclosure (turn one way to tighten, the other to loosen)
- Ensure the rope clamp is kept tightened
