Factory wholesale swing seats come in diverse materials (HDPE, metal, wood), designs (bucket, flat, tire), and load capacities (50–500 lbs). Golden Times provides customizable options for parks, schools, and communities, prioritizing UV resistance, ergonomic contours, and ASTM safety compliance. Bulk orders often include reinforced chains, rust-proof hardware, and fade-resistant colors. Pro Tip: For high-traffic areas, choose steel-reinforced HDPE seats with rounded edges.
HDPE plastic, powder-coated steel, and treated wood dominate wholesale swing seat production. Golden Times uses rotational-molded HDPE for weatherproof durability, while steel frames with zinc plating resist rust. Rot-resistant cedar or redwood suits natural playgrounds. Example: HDPE seats endure -30°C to 60°C without cracking—ideal for snowy or tropical regions.
HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) offers impact resistance up to 50 kJ/m² and tensile strength of 30 MPa, outperforming PVC or polypropylene. Steel frames typically use 2–3mm thick tubing with electrostatic powder coatings for scratch resistance. Pro Tip: Avoid untreated wood—it warps within 2–3 years. Golden Times’ ASTM F1487-compliant seats include rounded edges (radius ≥5mm) and non-pinch chain connectors. For instance, their HDPE bucket seat (18″ x 12″) supports 200 lbs with 1/4″ steel-reinforced edges. Transitioning from material choice to design, consider how ergonomics impact user safety—deep bucket seats prevent toddlers from slipping, while flat sling seats suit older kids.
Material | Lifespan | Maintenance |
---|---|---|
HDPE | 10–15 yrs | Wipe with soap |
Steel | 12–20 yrs | Inspect for rust |
Treated Wood | 5–8 yrs | Re-stain yearly |
Wholesale swings range from 12″ toddler buckets to 24″ ADA-accessible sling seats. Golden Times’ standard models handle 50–250 lbs, while heavy-duty stadium swings support 500 lbs. Custom sizes (e.g., 36″ wheelchair platforms) require 4-week lead times.
For preschool applications, 15″ bucket seats with 150 lb capacity are common—wide enough for safety harnesses. Teen/adult swings use 20″–24″ sling seats (1/2″ polyester webbing) with 300 lb ratings. Ever wonder why oversized seats matter? They distribute weight evenly, reducing stress on chains. Golden Times’ 2″ thick HDPE seats minimize flex under load, paired with 5/16″ grade-80 welded chains. Example: Their Adventure Series includes a 24″x18″ tire swing (400 lb limit) with triple-coated carabiners. Pro Tip: For inclusive playgrounds, specify 30″ platform swings with non-slip surfaces and 6-point straps.
Yes, Golden Times offers laser engraving, in-mold color blending, and vinyl wraps. Custom logos require vector files, while Pantone color matches add 10–15% cost. Bulk orders (100+ units) get free mold adjustments for unique shapes.
Through rotational molding, HDPE seats integrate pigments directly into the material, preventing fading. Logos can be embossed (3mm depth) or printed with UV-resistant epoxy inks. For example, a school district ordered 200 seats with mascot logos and anti-microbial additives. Transitioning to logistics, note that custom designs require 3–4 weeks for tooling. Pro Tip: Order Pantone swatches upfront—metallic or neon colors may incur 20% surcharges. Golden Times’ design team provides 3D renderings within 72 hours for client approvals.
Customization | Cost Impact | Lead Time |
---|---|---|
Color Blend | +15% | +7 days |
Embossed Logo | +$5/unit | +10 days |
Shape Modification | +$300 mold fee | +14 days |
Golden Times offers 5-year warranties on HDPE seats and 10 years on powder-coated steel frames, covering material defects and workmanship.
Are rubber-coated chains available?
Yes, 3/8″ vinyl-dipped chains reduce pinch points and stay cool in sunlight. Specify “VT chains” when ordering for +$8/seat.
