Types of Car Turntables

Types of Car Turntables

Turntables are built in a way that meets the needs of a wide range of users. They can be customized to fit a specific area taking note of garage and car size, exit doors, vehicle weights, and quantity.

Car turntables can also be built with your preferred materials that blend in with existing surroundings, such as hardwood, concrete, tiles, or paver. 

These models are meant to fit the overall floor design of your garage. First turntables are installed in two versions, namely Above-ground Version and In-ground Version.

The above-ground Version of the turntable does not require excavation to install. It is not flush with the garage pad or driveaway. In-ground Version, on the other hand, requires the garage floor to be excavated. 

This is because it is flush with the driveway or garage pad.  The following are types of Car turntables:

Residential Turntables

Residential turntables are installed at your home, where you might have a small space for your multiple cars. This will ease your exits if you have a narrow driveway, and it will also create an appealing look for your garage.

The turntable will also ensure you maximize your parking space by storing your cars even in narrow driveways.

These turntables are for businesses that deal with heavy-duty cars and would like to make it easy to turn on tight angles. They are made with a diameter of 100 feet or even more and could support a weight of up to 80 tons. 

Industrial turntables will ensure your business cars maneuver easily, even in narrow driveways.

Heavy-Duty Turntables

In manufacturing companies, to keep the process smooth, logistics are laid out well, and every step is strictly planned. However, it can be challenging in a company that uses many heavy-duty vehicles to distribute and transport.

Parking the cars for loading and then driving out can be a hectic process, especially if the driveways are narrow and the vehicles are huge. 

Companies can now install heavy-duty turntables to ensure the cars are strategically parked, loaded, and move quickly.

If you install a heavy-duty turntable, you can ensure that the supply chain is running without delays saving time and money.

With even a bigger turntable, the company can place several vehicles on the same rotating platform, enabling easy loading of several trucks simultaneously. 

The turntable is then rotated to a position that the trucks can drive away.

The heavy-duty turntables ensure the safety of people, goods, and vehicles by preventing accidents that might be caused by turning and reversing. 

They save time, space, and less fuel is used. Installing these turntables will also ensure the loading, transport, and delivery processes are improved.
