Motorized turntables allow products to be rotated safely and more accurately
Advance Lifts, a North American manufacturer of industrial scissor lift tables and dock lifts, highlights its Industrial-Powered Turntables (TPH &TPL), designed to provide unparalleled efficiency, safety, and durability when rotating heavy loads in the material handling industry.
Turntables are used in positioning jobs where loads are regularly rotated. There are two basic types of standard-duty turntables: non-powered and powered. Industrial-powered turntables are used when the rotational effort of a job is too high for a manual turntable.
Powered turntables are available in both low-profile and high-profile configurations. Low-profile powered turntables (TPL) are used for power applications where low platform height is essential. There are 16 models with edge load maximums ranging from 50 to 1,400 lbs. Load capacities range from 2,000lbs to 10,000lbs with platform diameters ranging from min 24”/max 48” to 85”/max 96”. Circular platforms are required for this configuration because the drive motor is located at the platform’s edge and projects above the platform. The platforms are supported by lifetime lubricated roller-bearing cam followers.
High-profile powered turntables (TPH) are used for power applications where low platform height is less important or the loads are square. There are 16 models with edge load maximums ranging from 100 lbs to 1,200 lbs. Load capacities range from 2,000 lbs to 10,000 lbs, and platform sizes range from 24×24” to 96×96”. Standard rectangular and round platforms are available. These heavy-duty rotating platforms have a drive motor under the platform. Inverted casters with tapered roller bearings or cam followers support them.
