Rope

We only use Hercules rope in the manufacture of our play equipment for optimal quality, durability, and safety. Manufactured in Germany, Hercules rope describes the construction of rope using a fibre and steel wire mixture for reinforcement.
Abrasion-resistant Hercules rope

Hercules rope consists of six twisted steel strands, which are each composed of individual, galvanised threads. The result is a rope that is extremely resistant and exceptionally robust.

Polyester yarn covering

Every strand is coated in a high-quality polyester yarn. Unlike other synthetic materials, polyester is exceptionally abrasion-proof and has a very high colour and UV durability.

Secure attachment

Specially made fittings create a secure attachment between the steel core and the fabric polyester jacket.

Abrasion testing

Regular abrasion tests on a specially developed testing machine attest Hercules rope’s superiority over other types of rope. In the abrasion tests, a frictional object is rubbed back and forth over the rope’s surface (‘double stroke’), until it reaches the steel core. The high number of double strokes completed reflects the increased protection of Hercules ropes in the face of repeated use.

Colour choices

Hercules rope is available in a range of colours: Blue, Beige, Black, Yellow, Red, Light Grey and Green depending on product choices.

Anti-Bacterial Surfaces

At Playground Centre, we’re all about healthy fun. That’s why we’re proud to offer a select range of play equipment that can be made with anti-bacterial polymers.

Adventurous play and exposure to certain germs are essential to support childhood development and robust immune systems. However, anti-bacterial materials can bring much-needed peace of mind for parents, teachers, carers, and communities.

The anti-bacterial polymers, which are non-toxic and approved by the FDA (US Food and Drug Administration), can be incorporated during manufacturing of select parts of playground equipment such as crawling tunnels, slides, and barrier panels.

Tested and proven:
  • To decrease the presence of surface bacteria and are effective against staph infections that cause fevers, rashes, and blisters in children.
  • To reduce the growth of mould and algae, helping to prevent discolouration and associated odours.
  • Be durable and heat resistant and are backed by Playground Centre’s anti-fade warranty.
