After-sales planning
Long-term support begins with a complete handover record.
Keep the approved equipment reference, drawings, packing and parts information, installation records, inspection findings, maintenance guidance and the agreed support channel together after the project is delivered.
The written quotation and warranty terms govern the actual coverage, period, exclusions and remedy. Routine inspection, cleaning, wear-item replacement, site conditions and damage outside the agreed product scope remain operational responsibilities unless the contract states otherwise.

Frequently asked questions
Playground after-sales FAQ
What information should be sent with a parts request?
Send the order and model reference, drawing location, clear photos, quantity, site contact and the reason for replacement. This helps avoid shipping a similar but incorrect component.
Does after-sales support replace routine inspection?
No. The owner or operator should maintain a documented inspection and maintenance programme appropriate to the equipment, site, usage and local requirements.
Is every damaged or worn item covered by warranty?
No broad assumption should be made. Coverage depends on the written warranty terms, cause, installation, maintenance, environment, normal wear and other stated exclusions.
How should a potentially unsafe issue be handled?
Restrict access to the affected equipment, document the condition and follow the responsible owner’s inspection and risk-control process while technical and contractual facts are reviewed.
Report an issue with the order and part references ready.
Clear evidence helps the team identify the equipment, review the written scope and propose the appropriate next step.
