The 7 Hills Revolving Restaurant, located atop the Golf Course Hotel in Kampala, stands as a historic engineering achievement—it is the first revolving restaurant in Uganda. The core rotating mechanism was designed, manufactured, and commissioned by Shenyang Weizhong Revolving Machinery Co., Ltd., providing a seamless 360-degree panoramic view of Kampala’s famous seven hills.
This 16.7-meter diameter platform utilizes Weizhong’s proprietary Pin-Gear Drive technology. This industrial system was specifically selected for its ability to deliver high torque and zero-noise operation, ensuring a perfectly smooth motion that enhances the premium dining environment. The mechanical installation was successfully completed at the end of 2007, demonstrating our team's ability to execute complex projects in diverse global locations.
For nearly two decades, the revolving system at the Golf Course Hotel has demonstrated exceptional mechanical durability. Weizhong provided the full technical scope, including structural load analysis, precision manufacturing of the drive ring, and on-site technical supervision during the installation phase.
In summary, the 7 Hills project reinforces Weizhong’s reputation as a reliable global partner for industrial-grade rotating machinery, blending advanced engineering with landmark architectural visions across the African continent.
