Different driving positions:

• The motor and main structure of the up-drive carousel are located under the ceiling, that is, the driving force is above.
• The motor of the down-drive carousel is installed below the turntable, and the turntable is driven by the rolling friction of the tire, that is, the driving force is below.

Structural and force differences:

• The main force-bearing surface of the up-drive carousel is the auxiliary frame, and the track wheel only plays an auxiliary force-bearing role.
• The down-drive carousel mainly relies on the track wheel for force, and the support frame serves as an auxiliary force.

Durability and service life:

• The up-drive carousel is usually more durable due to its complex structure and high-quality steel requirements, and its service life can be maintained at 8-10 years.
• The down-drive carousel may not be as durable as the upper drive carousel due to its relatively simple structure..

Production process and price:

• The production process of the up-drive carousel is high, the structure is complex, and the steel quality requirements are strict, so the price is relatively high.
• The down-drive carousel has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble and assemble, has a simple production process, and is relatively low in price.

Ride experience:

• The wooden horse of the up-drive carousel moves up and down relatively smoothly.
• The wooden horse of the down-drive carousel shakes more when it moves up and down.

Turntable height:

• The turntable of the up-drive carousel is lower.
• The turntable of the down-drive carousel usually needs to build a higher fixed platform because the transmission mechanism is below, so the turntable is higher.

In Conclusion:

These differences affect the safety, durability, cost and ride experience of the carousel. When choosing, users should decide which type of carousel to buy according to their needs and budget.
