KOMPAN :How to improve the inclusivity and accessibility at your playground with new equipment.

KOMPAN are HOT on ensuring they offer inclusive and accessible play products for all to enjoy. KOMPAN UK are launching their 2024 Inclusive equipment supply only deals. These deals run until Christmas and can be delivered in as soon as 20 working days.

INCLUSIVE PRODUCT HIGHLIGHT:
One of the most popular products in here is the Inclusive Swing seat. It operates like a rollercoaster seat. It can be opened with just one hand, allowing the parent or carer to be holding the child at the same time. The simple mechanism clicks in place to hold the user into the seat and swing with others.
See in this link the current Inclusive products on offer to purchase.
