F.A.Q.

Operating the Equipment

Whilst you are welcome to provide members of staff to help supervise the public, or to collect money

if you are charging on the rides, only experienced operators are allowed to actually operate the rides.

For this reason when you hire equipment from us it is provided with experienced members of staff to

control the ride and to load and unload the passengers

Power Supply

All of our equipment comes with self contained power generators to provide the motive and electrical

power required. Smaller children’s rides are capable of being powered from standard household

sockets but the larger rides require industrial power supplies.

Insurance

All of our equipment is covered by public liability insurance to the tune of £10,000,000 as required by

the Showmen’s Guild of Great Britains operating rules.

Health And Safety

All of our equipment has electrical and mechanical safety certificates issued by qualified engineers,

additionally we undertake a risk assessment for the event covering things such as ride placement

and access, egress points to the fair, copies of this document along with all safety and insurance

certificates will be provided to you well before the event itself.

First Aid

All major rides and all catering units carry first aid kits, and we are currently ensuring key personnel

all have first aid training with the ultimate aim that any equipment we supply would come with a

trained first aider. However this should be viewed as a complement to your own arrangements, larger

events should still have St Johns ambulance cover or something equivalent.

Set Up Times

Smaller attractions and modern thrill rides can be set up and the safety checks performed in around

4 hours (less for children's rides, around 1 hour), more traditional rides such as dodgems and

waltzers require upto 8 hours. As the attractions are set up simultaneously, an entire funfair can be

erected and tested for safety in less than a day.
