Hiring Ferris Wheels - How to Choose a Wheel

When it comes to choosing the right Ferris wheel, there are a few key factors to consider.

  1. You'll need to decide what size Ferris wheel you want. Mini wheels are perfect for kids, while giant wheels (sometimes called Continental Wheels) offer amazing views for all. Regular-sized wheels such as the Vintage Ferris Wheel are the most popular choice, as they offer a great balance between size and accessibility - and they look incredible!
  2. Choose an appropriate location. Ferris wheels need to be set up on flat surfaces, and while they can be driven in via trailer, boggy or marshy land or areas that are difficult to access can pose so many problems as to make safe operation impossible. For larger wheels, you may also need additional equipment such as cranes to get everything set up properly. If you're unsure about your site, it's best to get a site assessment to ensure that everything will go smoothly on the day and that there is adequate access.
  3. Another important factor to consider is health and safety. When hiring a Ferris wheel, you need to make sure that the company you choose adheres to all the relevant UK funfair safety regulations and requirements. At We Are Tricycle, we are committed to providing our customers with the safest and most enjoyable experience possible, for events large and small.
  4. You should get a comprehensive quote from your hirer that includes delivery, set-up, and staffing. This will help you to budget properly and ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day.
  5. Don't forget to drum up interest in the Ferris wheel by advertising and distributing flyers with it prominently displayed. Let everyone know that you have this iconic fairground attraction at your event, so they should come along and enjoy the ride!
