Animatronic Animals
A tiger is read from its stripes and its weight — the orange coat with black bands, the white belly and the white-marked ears are what make it the apex cat, not a lion. This model carries that heavy, low-walking silhouette on the same frame and movement system as the rest of the range, so it reads as a predator from across a plaza and the stripes still hold detail up close.

The stripe pattern is where the budget goes, and it shows. Every band is masked and finished by hand to a reference, and the animal is built to the size and the site it is going into rather than pulled from a standard.
An orange coat crossed by clean black bands, a white belly and white spots on the back of the ears — the features that make a tiger read as a tiger at a glance. They are sculpted and finished as one piece, so the expression holds from any angle. The mouth opens on a moving jaw and the teeth are individually set.
The body is long, heavy and low, built to suggest a stalking walk rather than a sprint. A tiger modelled with rosettes or a thin build reads as the wrong cat, so the proportions here follow the species, not the display habit.
This is an outdoor animal. The frame is hot-dip galvanised steel, the skin is anti-UV composite silicone over an elastic fibre mesh, and the servo drive is rated to IP65. The orange coat is laid in gradient layers under a UV topcoat so the stripes read as fur rather than as flat print.
The unit arrives in bolted sections and assembles on site without welding. The tail is the fragile part, which is exactly why it ships as a protected module and bolts on last.
Zoo big-cat rows, theme parks, mall atriums and photo points. The heavy striped silhouette is a reliable draw, so it works as a landmark and as a character in a themed area. It is supplied with the animal information board as a separate element.
What sizes can be built? Anything from 1 m to 30 m long and up to 15 m tall. The size is set by the site, the sight lines and the transport route, not by a fixed catalogue.
How is it triggered? Four ways: infrared or radar sensing, a pre-programmed sequence set before dispatch, handheld remote, or voice interaction. Most sites run the sensor as the default and keep the remote for staff.
What does it need on site? A 110 V or 220 V supply and a solid fixing point. The unit arrives in modules and bolts together — no on-site welding.
Can it run outdoors? Yes. The standard specification is an outdoor one, with anti-UV silicone skin, a water-resistant servo drive rated to IP65, and a hot-dip galvanised frame that tolerates salt spray.
How is it fixed? Four options: concrete foundation with pre-embedded anchor bolts, a weighted base that can be moved as one piece, expansion bolts on a hard indoor floor, or a sealed and buoyancy-rated base for water features.
How long does production take? Custom builds run on a lead time confirmed against the drawing. Send the requirement and the site plan, and the proposal comes back with the timing and the drawings marked up.
Materials. National-standard steel frame, first-tier servo motors, high-density foam core, composite silicone skin over elastic fibre mesh, hand-sprayed colour finish.

The model ships in modules on a reinforced timber crate, with the frame sections, skin panels, head module and hardware packed and labelled for assembly. Nothing on site is welded; the sections bolt together and the base is fixed to a concrete foundation, a weighted base or expansion bolts depending on the surface.
Assembly is a one-to-two-day job for a crew, and our technician joins the first run so the movement settings are dialled against the actual ground and light. The tail is checked in place last.
The information board, the lighting and the surrounding landscape are quoted separately and can be drawn at the same time, so the animal and its interpretation arrive as one project rather than two.
