Vehicles & Characters
Van Ryt Industries makes playground vehicles and characters for councils, schools, early learning centres and hospitality venues. A train with a cabin to climb through, or a hand-carved Jarrah dachshund to sit on, is the piece that starts the game in an early learning centre, a school playground or a holiday park.
The trains, trucks and boats are built in West Australian Jarrah in our O’Connor workshop, and our carpentry and design team often add small themed details to the play vehicles. Explore the range and see what fits your project, and if you have an idea of your own, let us know. We supply and install across WA, and supply nationally with installation drawings for your contractor.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which playground vehicles suit an early learning centre?
The playground vehicles that suit an early learning centre include the Mini Train and the School Bus, both rated from age 2. The Mini Train sits at ground level with a climbing tunnel and a driver's cab. The School Bus is built for early learning centres and childcare settings, with an open under-area to hide in. Both are made in West Australian Jarrah, and each product page lists its free height of fall.
What are the playground characters?
VRI's playground characters are hand-carved Jarrah animals for imaginative and social play: the Dog Log, a dachshund seat, and the Mumma Pig Log with the Pig Log, a piglet seat made to group with her. They are rated from age 2 and suit schools and early learning centres. Each can be carved as another animal character on request.
