The Two Manufacturing Zones
Shangjie District is home to the cluster’s larger enterprises, including LMQ Rides, Zhengzhou Hangtian, Henan Dinis, and Zhengzhou Jinhui. It hosts the Zhengzhou Amusement Equipment Association, with Hangtian as president unit and LMQ Rides as vice president unit.
Xingyang City (Wangcun Town and Gaocun Township) concentrates over 70 complete-machine manufacturers and 300+ supply chain enterprises, with parts localization above 80%. The area’s roots in construction-machinery manufacturing (concrete mixers, hoists) gave it an estimated 70% technology transfer rate into amusement equipment production. The Xingyang Amusement Equipment Industry Alliance, formed in 2018, runs the “Central Plains Amusement Cloud” digital platform for order management and supply chain coordination.
Shangjie and Xingyang Wangcun Town are roughly 30 minutes apart by road, so buyers can visit multiple factories in a single trip.
Beyond the 14 companies profiled below, the wider cluster includes Zhengzhou Shunhang, Zhengzhou Jinqilin (founded 1982), and many smaller producers listed on B2B platforms such as 11467.com and ctoy.com.cn. The Zhengzhou Amusement Equipment Association can provide referrals for buyers seeking a broader supplier pool.
Why Zhengzhou Instead of Other Manufacturing Cities?
China has several regional clusters for amusement equipment, each with a different specialization. Zhengzhou’s strength lies in powered rides — particularly Ferris wheels and family/children’s rides — rather than indoor attractions or coin-operated equipment.
| City | Core Specialization |
|---|---|
| Zhengzhou (Henan) | Ferris wheels, family & children’s rides, mid-size powered equipment |
| Guangzhou (Guangdong) | Indoor attractions, VR/simulator equipment, trampoline parks |
| Wenzhou (Zhejiang) | Coin-operated and arcade equipment |
| Zhongshan (Guangdong) | Children’s rides, playground equipment |
Buyers researching “where are amusement rides made in China” or comparing manufacturing regions will typically choose Zhengzhou when the project calls for outdoor powered rides — especially Ferris wheels — at competitive pricing, backed by a dense local supply chain that shortens production lead times.
How to Choose a Zhengzhou Manufacturer
Before selecting a supplier, buyers should work through the following checklist:
Certification verification
Manufacturers producing large amusement facilities must hold China’s TSG special equipment production license, valid under TSG 71-2023 (mandatory since March 2025). Small device manufacturers should comply with GB 34272-2025. For export, check CE (Europe), ASTM (US), GOST (Russia/CIS), and BV/SGS/TUV as applicable. Ask for type-test reports and inspection documentation, not just certificates.
OEM / customization checklist
- Can the factory modify capacity, color scheme, and theming?
- Is there in-house R&D and mold-making, or is production subcontracted?
- What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom builds?
Lead time and logistics
Standard rides typically take 30–60 days to manufacture; large-scale Ferris wheels and coasters can take 60–120 days. Confirm shipping method (container vs. flat-rack), export packaging standards, and whether the manufacturer handles customs documentation.
Installation, warranty, and after-sales
Ask whether the manufacturer sends engineers for on-site installation, what the standard warranty period is (commonly 1–2 years on structure, shorter on electricals), and how technical support is handled across time zones. Several Zhengzhou manufacturers advertise 24-hour response systems with 48-hour on-site support commitments.
Factory visits
Because of the cluster’s density, an on-site visit is the most reliable way to compare build quality. A small number of manufacturers operate working demonstration parks where finished rides are tested under real operating conditions before shipment — useful for buyers who cannot visit multiple factories in person.

Zhengzhou by Product Category
Ferris Wheels
Zhengzhou is one of China’s strongest Ferris wheel production bases, with models ranging from small 6–15m units to large 120m structures. Typical customization includes gondola themes, LED lighting packages, and capacity adjustments; lead time for large units generally runs 60–120 days. Manufacturers active in this category: Sinorides, Shenlong, Yueton, Hangtian, Jinma, LMQ Rides. Buyers looking for very large-scale wheels should confirm TSG large-facility qualification specifically, as it differs from the general production license.
Carousels
Carousel production in the cluster ranges from single-deck children’s units to 50+ seat double-decker models. Fiberglass horses with automotive-grade paint are standard; lead times are typically 30–45 days. Active manufacturers: Hangtian, Dinis, Yueton, Sinorides, Jinshan, Lixin, LMQ Rides.
Thrill Rides
This category covers pendulum rides, drop towers, pirate ships, and disco turntables. Drop tower heights in the cluster range from 12m to 40m. Active manufacturers: Shenlong, Sinorides, Dinis, Hangtian, Sanchuan, LMQ Rides.
Family & Children’s Rides
The largest product segment by volume, spanning bumper cars, trackless trains, self-control planes, and teacup rides. Active manufacturers: Hangtian, Carnee, Sinorides, Yueton, Sanchuan, Lixin, Dinis, LMQ Rides.
Unpowered Equipment
A growing segment for scenic areas and rural tourism projects, including rope courses, climbing towers, and inflatable playgrounds. Active manufacturers: Carnee (leading specialist, ~200 models), Jinqiao, Longtang, Jinshan, Yueton, LMQ Rides.
Cluster Advantages
Supply Chain Integration: Xingyang’s 80%+ parts localization means steel, bearings, electrical components, fiberglass, motors, and reducers can be sourced within a 20-kilometer radius, shortening lead times and supporting competitive pricing.
Industry Standards: Xingyang manufacturers have led the drafting of three local standards, including one for small and medium amusement facility safety. Large-facility manufacturers comply with TSG 71-2023 (mandatory since March 2025); small-device manufacturers follow GB 34272-2025 (effective May 2026). All products follow GB 8408 design standards.
Technology Upgrades: Laser cutting and automated painting lines have improved production efficiency by roughly 50%. Construction-machinery hydraulic technology adapted for self-control plane lift systems has reduced failure rates by an estimated 40%. Several manufacturers, including Dinis and Longtang, are integrating MR/AR and somatosensory technology into rides.
Media Coverage
Several manufacturers in the cluster have received national media attention. LMQ Rides has appeared most frequently — covered by CCTV-2, Xinhua News Agency, Credit China, People’s Daily, Alibaba, Tencent News, and DaXiang News, largely in connection with its export growth and a self-funded 2014 Ferris wheel repair project in Afghanistan. Xinhua’s broader cluster coverage has also named Dinis, Jinhui, and Longtang as head manufacturers in the region. Media coverage is a useful signal of scale and reputation, but buyers should still independently verify certifications and request references.
