Playgrounds and outdoor fitness facilities fare better with Rosta technology

Children's seesaws are just one of the kinds of playground equipment that benefit from Rosta technology.

Although clients in a number of major Canadian industries rely on Rosta Inc. for its mastery of three types of technology – rubber suspension, oscillating conveyors, and tensioning – it is not just workers in the field who benefit from the company. Rosta products are vital to operations in construction, manufacturing, mining, wood processing, and other important sectors, but they also play a huge part in common playground equipment for children across the country.

From seesaws to rocking chairs

Rosta’s rubber elements come in handy as energy-absorbing impact suspensions, torque supports for gear motors, pendulum suspensions for unbalanced motors, and torsion elastic mounts for constant pressure for infeed devices. These benefits are particularly useful for builders of playground equipment and outdoor fitness facilities, in which safety and ease of use are always considerable factors.

Examples of applications in this area in which Rosta solutions are common:

• Seesaws. Rosta can create safe and indestructible suspensions for seesaws that are easily attachable and averse to rider jump-off. No post-pulse oscillations.
• Rocking chairs and platforms. With Rosta’s help, playground rocking equipment has better balance ability and is more accident-proof. The company provides resilient suspensions and allows for 360-degree deflection.
• Air walkers. Benefits from Rosta technology in air walkers include activity-adapted resistance, fully guided motion, long-lasting suspensions, and equipment that is overload-proof.
• Fitness equipment. Rosta makes outdoor fitness equipment weatherproof and vandalism-proof, with progressive spring characteristics and mechanical stops.
• Rocking toys. With the assistance of Rosta technology, children’s rocking toys are much safer, with minimal injury hazards and no risk of breakage. They become usable for the whole year round and are just more fun.
• Park furniture. Anatomically designed, vandalism-proof park furniture provides freedom of action and active relaxation for all users, from kids who need a rest to parents who need a place to sit while supervising.

Rosta elements can be found in such diverse outdoor equipment as riding horses, running machines, rowing trainers, press-up benches, and other items used by children and adults. Its rubber-suspension technology is perfect for stored-joint and spring-load mechanisms.
