Project Background

In a region affected by conflict, an existing Ferris wheel had become structurally unsafe and completely inoperable due to severe war damage.

After a full technical assessment, it was determined that repair was not feasible.

Instead of a standard commercial project, LMQ carried out a Ferris wheel donation initiative, delivering a complete replacement solution to support local public recreation.

Project Overview

  • Project Type: Ferris Wheel Donation & Replacement
  • Application: Public Amusement Facility
  • Original Condition: War-damaged, structurally unsafe
  • Solution Provided: New Ferris wheel manufacturing and delivery
  • Service Scope: Technical assessment, design, production, installation support

Why Repair Was Not Feasible

After reviewing detailed images and technical parameters, LMQ engineers identified critical risks:

  • Severe deformation of the main steel structure
  • Damage to core load-bearing components
  • Long-term material fatigue from environmental exposure

In such conditions, repair would not guarantee safety and could increase long-term operational risks.
