Quality & Safety! To us is an OBSESSION

We at KOOCHIE only use the best equipment IMPORTED from all around the world. As our playground and park equipment are used by the young and old, we
place a premium on quality and safety on our products & systems.

QUALITY & SAFETY TO US IS AN OBSESSION!
We choose only the best in the industry, from our “FLOW COATED / HOT DIP GALVANIZED STEEL” that is then powder-coated, to our VIRGIN LLDPE [granules imported from SAMSUNG / KOREA] PLASTIC PARTS [we never use any FIBRE GLASS] & our non-toxic EPDM playground flooring.

Specification
114mm Posts vs.89cm Posts You don’t have to be a mathematician to understand that thicker support posts will ultimately result in a stronger, more stable play structure. We use114mm posts as standard equipment. Nothing less! The round posts lend itself nicely with the TRUE SAFE system, offering a clean, European look. KOOCHIE products use a unique, minimal maintenance fastening system called the TRUE SAFE system. This includes a solid, factory compatible designed construction, and corrosion resistant, galvanized steel fasteners. This system boasts a clean, European look and makes the whole play structure an extremely
solid and safe unit. The traditional welded system is bulky, unsightly and is known to be problematic over a period of time. This clamping system also requires less and infrequent maintenance. KOOCHIE’s TRUE SAFE system is built to withstand the test of time … and the test of kids.

What is the Difference between our FLOW COAT HOT DIP GALVANIZED STEEL POSTS & THAT WHICH OTHERS USE [like plain steel / normal galvanized steel posts]? HOT DIP GALVANIZED STEEL POSTS & PARTS [used in all KOOCHIE products], This is a technology by which our steel tubes are dipped into 99.9% pure zinc (liquid) and then subjected to a high temperature. It is a system that ensures that the zinc liquid imperatively pervades into the steel tube & that the GALVANIZING IS NOT JUST A SUPERFICIAL COATING. [To know the difference between ours & normal steel tubes you
will notice that our tubes will appear to be not very smooth, as compared to an ordinary steel tube, this is caused due to the fact, that after galvanizing, the zinc will have left its layer IMPREGNATED INTO THE SURFACE of the treated tube. WE WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SUBMIT OUR SECTIONS FOR TESTING AT ANY GIVEN POINT OF TIME TO PROVE THE ABOVE. ORDINARY STEEL TUBES [that other’s use]: These are ordinary tubes that others use in their systems, which have some treatment before the powder coating is done. The rust on these tubes is simply wiped off
with the use of yellow dichromate & this is done just on the surface. If you cut / scratch these tubes, you will find that they easily oxidize when exposed to wet / humid weather conditions. UNLIKE OURS!

ORDINARY GALVANIZED STEEL TUBES [that others use]: these kinds of tubes are just dipped into the zinc liquid but not treated with HOT DIP TECHNIQUE. Hence this is similar to a simple powder coating. It is just a superficial layer on the surface.

To distinguish an ORDINARY GALVANIZED TUBE from a HOT DIP FLOW COAT GALVANIZED TUBE you need to see the cut level [cross section] or knock / scratch it. You will see the galvanizing breaking / knocking off.

Compared to our competitors' ordinary [non flow coat / hot dipped galvanized] steel posts, which corrode in a shot span or time, our playground equipment posts are made TO WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME

Similarly all our PLASTIC PARTS are roto-moulded with virgin LLDPE granules that are imported from SAMSUNG Korea that is UN MATCHED in terms of quality, aesthetics, life & performance.
