38 Seat Double Decker Carousel for Sale

A carousel that fills up in seconds and turns the same crowd over all afternoon is worth more than a bigger one nobody rides. O 38 seat double decker carousel for sale on this page is built around that idea: two decks, 38 riders per lap, and a footprint of just 11 m across. The upper deck seats 18 passengers and the lower deck seats 20. At 5 rpm the platform completes one full turn every 12 segundos, which works out to a theoretical 11,400 riders an hour before loading time is counted. Thirty-four of the seats are galloping horses, each rising and falling 130 mm four times per revolution. Standing 10 m tall with a 6.9 m rotating platform and a 5.1 m ride height, the carousel fits park corners, indoor halls and shopping centre atriums where a full-size grand carousel will not. Drive power is 2 × 4 kW with 2 kW of lighting on a 15 kVA installed load, and the gearbox and gear transmission keeps routine servicing simple. This is a fixed installation, made for operators who keep their carousel in one place for years rather than touring fairs that pack up every month. Operating limits of 15 m/s wind speed, -10 °C to 40 °C and up to 85% relative humidity let the same machine run from Northern Europe to the Middle East.

Two Story vs. Single Deck: Which Fits Your Park?

The choice between a single deck carousel and a two story carousel is rarely about which ride is better. It comes down to three things: the space you have, the crowds you expect, and whether the carousel stays on one site.

UM 38 seat double decker carousel and a large single deck ride can occupy a similar circular footprint. The difference is vertical: the two story version needs a 10 m overall height and a 6.9 m rotating platform, while a single deck model keeps the clearance low enough to sit comfortably inside a mall or an indoor hall.

Comparison	Single Deck Carousel	38 Seat Double Decker	Mobile Configuration
Riders Per Lap	16 para 24, by model	38 (18 upstairs, 20 downstairs)	38
Footprint	Circular, similar ground area	φ11 m	Depends on trailer and folding design
Overall Height	Low clearance	10 m, ride height 5.1 m	Folding height to be confirmed
Fundação	Required	Required	Counterweight and support system, level ground required
Relocation	Not intended	Not intended	Seasonal relocation possible
Best For	Indoor malls, small parks, first investments	High-traffic parks, landmarks	Feiras, festivais, touring exhibitions

Choose a single deck carousel if your indoor clearance is below 10 m, you want the lowest entry cost, or a 16 para 24 seat ride already keeps your queue moving during peak hours. Choose the 38 seat double decker if you have 10 m of clear height or open outdoor space, your queue is the bottleneck rather than your seat count, and you want a landmark that photographs well from two levels. Choose the mobile configuration if you follow fair circuits, festivals or touring events, you cannot pour a foundation at every stop, or you relocate seasonally.

Four things buyers often get wrong.

Primeiro, a two story carousel does not need a much larger site; it uses the same 11 m circle and takes the extra capacity from the height.
Segundo, 10 m of clear height is the machine itself, and installation plus ceiling maintenance still needs room above it.
Terceiro, a mobile carousel is not a foundation-free ride; it relies on counterweights and support systems and still needs level, load-bearing ground.
Quarto, o 11,400 riders an hour figure is theoretical, based on 38 riders turning every 12 seconds at 5 rpm without loading time.

Carriage seating is available as a custom option alongside the 34 galloping horses, on both deck layouts, so the seating mix can be matched to your audience rather than bought off a fixed list. Tell us your clear height, your available ground area and whether the carousel stays in one place or moves with your circuit, and we will tell you which layout fits your park.

How Much Does a Double Decker Carousel Cost?

UM 38 seat double decker carousel is priced between USD 90,000 e dólares americanos 100,000. That range covers a standard fixed installation with the full two deck structure, 34 galloping horses plus a carriage, o 2 × 4 kW drive, 2 kW of lighting and the 15 kVA installed capacity described above. It does not include ocean freight, import duty, trabalho de fundação, power supply upgrades or on-site installation, which are quoted separately once we know your destination and site.

What changes the price

Cost Factor	Direction	Why
Deck Count	Higher	A second deck adds structure, plataforma, lighting and a full set of seats
Seating Mix	Varies	Carriage seating and additional horses use different moulds and layouts
Lighting Package	Higher	2 kW is standard; programmable and themed lighting is an upgrade
Theme and Finish	Higher	Custom colours, carving detail and fibreglass work
Mobile Configuration	Higher	Trailer chassis, counterweight system and folding structure
Drive and Transmission	Higher	Gearbox and gear transmission rated for two decks
Certification and Documents	Varies	Requirements differ by destination market
Order Quantity	Lower	Multiple units share tooling, setup and shipping costs

How the size compares

A single deck carousel carries fewer riders on a smaller platform and sits at a lower price. O 38 seat double decker keeps a comparable 11 m footprint but adds a second level, 38 riders per lap and a 10 m overall height. Price rises with deck count and seat count before any customisation is applied.

What the machine price does not cover

Budget for ocean freight and insurance, import duty and customs clearance, foundation and civil works, an electrical supply rated to 15 kVA, unloading equipment at site, installation labour and any local inspection or certification fee. These items vary widely by country and usually add a meaningful percentage on top of the machine price.

Mobile and custom carriage options

A mobile configuration using a trailer chassis, counterweight system and folding structure costs more than the fixed version, because the machine has to be stable in operation and road transportable between sites. Custom carriage seating changes the seat mix and adds mould and layout work, so it is quoted per project rather than priced from a list.

How to get an accurate quote in one round

Send us your destination port or city, whether the site is indoor or outdoor along with the available clear height, whether you need fixed or mobile installation, a site plan or available ground area, your preferred horse and carriage mix, and your available electrical supply and target opening date. With those six details we can return a firm quotation, a shipping estimate and an installation timeline for the 38 seat double decker carousel.

Investment Return: Ticket Price, Daily Riders and Payback Period

How fast a 38 seat double decker carousel pays for itself depends less on the machine than on how you charge for it. Operators who sell rides one at a time measure return in ticket revenue. Parks that include the carousel in an admission price measure it in capacity and queue time instead.

A three scenario model

Financial Metric	Conservative	Base	Forte
Ticket Price Per Ride	USD 2.5	USD 3.0	USD 3.5
Riders Per Day	200	300	450
Operating Days Per Year	250	300	300
Gross Annual Revenue	USD 125,000	USD 270,000	USD 472,500
Total Operating Cost	USD 63,000	USD 108,500	USD 182,500
Net Annual Return	USD 62,000	USD 161,500	USD 290,000
Payback on USD 120,000 Invested	Sobre 23 Meses	Sobre 9 Meses	Sobre 5 Meses

Operating cost in this model covers staff, site rent or revenue share, electricity, maintenance and spares, insurance and permits, and marketing. Electricity is the smallest line item: the machine runs a 2 × 4 kW drive with 2 kW of lighting on a 15 kVA installed load, which is roughly 100 kWh in a ten hour day and a few thousand US dollars a year in most markets. Staff and site rent decide whether the project pays back in six months or two years.

Total investment, not just the machine price

The carousel itself is USD 90,000 para USD 100,000 for a standard fixed configuration. Ocean freight, seguro, import duty and clearance, foundation and civil works, an electrical supply rated to 15 kVA, unloading equipment and installation labour typically add USD 20,000 para USD 35,000 depending on the destination, which is how the model above arrives at USD 120,000. Budget the landed cost, not the ex works price, when you test the payback period.

Revenue beyond the ticket window

A two level carousel creates income that a ride ticket does not capture. Birthday buyouts and family packages, horse sponsorship, advertising panels on the machine, ride photography and souvenirs, and seasonal theme sessions such as Christmas or ocean themes all add margin at almost no extra operating cost. Operators who use these channels commonly lift total revenue by ten to twenty percent above ticket sales alone.

What moves the payback most

Daily rider numbers matter more than ticket price. Doubling the fare raises revenue by half; doubling traffic doubles it. Site selection and operating hours are therefore the real investment decision, followed by the rent or revenue share you negotiate. Maintenance costs stay low because the drive uses a gearbox and gear transmission with a short list of wear parts, and the horses move on a 130 mm lift with four gallops per revolution rather than a complex mechanism.

These figures are an illustrative model based on typical operating costs, not a forecast of your site. Send us your expected ticket price, daily footfall and rent terms, and we will run the same model against your numbers before you commit.

Customization service for 38 seat double decker carousel- Tema, Color and Lighting Customization

No two venues sell the same experience, so a carousel should not arrive looking like every other one on the market. Esse 38 seat double decker carousel is built to order in our own fiberglass workshop, where the theme, assentos, colours and lighting are fixed before production begins.

Theme Options

Popular directions include classic European fairground, Christmas and winter festival, ocean and underwater, safari and animal figures such as giraffe, zebra, dinosaur and swan, candy and festival themes, adventure, and royal or grand carousel styling with crown canopies and gold trim. If you want a licensed character theme, we produce it once you provide the artwork licence, and we do not reproduce trademarked characters without written authorisation.

Horses, Carriages and Animal Seating

The standard layout is 34 galloping horses plus one carriage, and both the mix and the style of individual seats can be changed. Carriage seating suits family and VIP use, while animal figures let the carousel match a zoo, aquarium or safari setting. Every seat is produced in our own fiberglass workshop, so any figure in our catalogue can be built for your two decks.

Colour Matching

Colour is matched to the venue rather than chosen from a short list: white carousel finishes for weddings and hotel venues, red and green for festive settings, multi-colour for family parks, or a specific brand colour. We work to RAL or Pantone references and supply a colour sample for approval before the mould goes into production.

Element	Options	Effect on Price	Effect on Lead Time
Tema	Clássico, Natal, oceano, safári, festival, royal, personalizado	Higher	Longer
Seating	Horses, carruagens, animals, mixed layout	Higher	Longer
Colour	RAL or Pantone match, single or multi-colour, brand colour	Higher	Minor
Iluminação	2 kW standard, LIDERADO, RGB, programmable, crown and facade	Higher	Minor
Marca	Logo panels, venue name, sponsored horses	Higher	Minor
New Figure	New tooling required	Higher	Significantly Longer

Lighting Design

Lighting is 2 kW as standard and can be upgraded to LED with programmable RGB control. Typical upgrades include canopy crown lighting, facade outlines, chasing lights along the platform edge, under-deck lighting and scene presets for evening trading. Lighting changes the electrical load, so the final installed capacity is confirmed against the 15 kVA figure before the machine is shipped.

Our Fiberglass Workshop and Moulds

Bodies, cavalos, carriages and decorative panels are produced in our own fiberglass workshop using existing moulds. Working from a mould we already hold keeps customisation affordable and the lead time short. A completely new figure or a non-standard theme needs new tooling, which is quoted separately and extends the schedule. We confirm which route your design falls into before you place the order, so there is no surprise later.

How the Customisation Process Works

Reference images and requirements, then a 3D render or colour drawing for your approval; then mould selection; then fiberglass layup, painting and assembly; then lighting installation and testing; then quality inspection and packing. You approve the design at the drawing stage and again at the paint stage, so what arrives at your site is what you signed off.

Lead Time and Cost of Customisation

Tema, colour and lighting changes typically add two to four weeks to the production schedule and a percentage to the machine price, depending on how far the design moves from the standard configuration. New tooling adds both. A fixed installation is the base configuration and a mobile configuration is available for operators who move between sites.

What to Send Us

Send your reference photos or a mood board, the colour references you want to match, whether you need carriages or animal figures, lighting requirements for evening operation, and the type of venue. With those details we return a render, an updated price and a production schedule for your custom 38 seat double decker carousel.

Entrega, Installation and After-Sales Service

Buying a carrossel de parque de diversões from overseas raises three practical questions: how the machine travels, who helps you install it, and what happens if something fails. This is how we handle all three for the 38 seat double decker carousel.

Sea Freight and Export Packing

The carousel ships by sea from a Chinese port, quoted FOB. Depending on volume it travels as a full container or a shared container, with the structure, fiberglass horses and carriages, lighting and electrical components packed in separate export crates and braced against movement in transit. We photograph and film the loading before the container is sealed and send the report to you, so you can see the condition and packing of every component before it leaves the factory. Export documents including the bill of lading, packing list and certificate of origin are prepared in advance, and packing is treated and marked where the destination market requires it.

From Order to Opening Day

The project runs through a clear sequence: contract and drawing confirmation, produção, quality inspection, embalagem, booking, ocean freight, customs clearance at the destination port, delivery to site, installation and commissioning, then handover. Production and shipping times vary by configuration and destination, and we confirm both in the quotation so you can plan your opening date instead of guessing it.

Stage	What Happens	Confirmed in Quotation
Design and Contract	Drawing, colour and theme sign-off	Sim
Produção	Fibra de vidro, estrutura, drive and lighting	Sim
Inspection and Packing	Full test, crated and photographed	Sim
Ocean Freight	Booking, loading report, documents	Sim
Site Works by Buyer	Fundação, fonte de energia, unloading access	Prepared During Transit
Installation and Handover	Conjunto, wiring, comissionamento, treinamento	Sim

Suporte de instalação

Every machine ships with an installation manual and a step-by-step installation video covering component matching, foundation and anchor points, structure assembly, the electrical wiring diagram, lighting setup and the pre-start check list. The manual is supplied in English, and our engineers are available by video call to walk your team through assembly and commissioning. Where on-site supervision is preferred, an installation engineer can attend the site as a separate service.

Preparing Your Site

While the machine is in production and at sea, the site work can be finished: the foundation and civil works, an electrical supply rated to 15 kVA for the 2 × 4 kW drive and 2 kW lighting, a clear route for the delivery vehicle and lifting equipment, and enough space for the 11 m footprint plus passenger circulation. Indoor installations also need the clear height checked against the 10 m overall height before the foundation is poured.

12 Month Warranty

The carousel is covered by a 12 month warranty against manufacturing defects in the structure, sistema de acionamento, transmission and lighting.

Covered	Not Covered
Manufacturing defects in structure and platform	Wear parts such as bulbs and brake components
Drive motor, gearbox and gear transmission	Transit damage, which is covered by shipping insurance
Standard and upgraded lighting systems	Incorrect installation, misuse or overloading
Factory assembly and wiring faults	Unauthorised modification or third-party parts

Spare Parts and After-Sales Response

A spare parts kit ships with the machine, and the list of wear parts is documented in the manual so your maintenance team knows what to keep on hand. Because you buy directly from the carousel manufacturer rather than through a reseller, replacement parts and technical support continue to come from the same factory that built the machine, which keeps both response times and part prices predictable. Routine maintenance, such as checking the gearbox, anchors and electrical connections, is described in our maintenance guide.

Tell Dinis carousel manufacturer your destination port and site conditions, and we will send the installation manual and a site preparation checklist for the 38 seat double decker carousel before you place the order.
