For a single car, we recommend a 4.5m diameter turntable. This is a good size so that you can see the turntable as you drive onto it so that you are comfortably on the turntable. This is a good balance of allowing almost all vehicles to use the turntable and not taking up too much space.
We also have a 4.8m diameter turntable which may be suitable for very large vehicles, but you will need more space to use it.
For a 2 car turntable, a 6.0m diameter turntable is the best size for even 2 large vehicles if you have enough space to put it in.
For a 4.5m diameter turntable we recommend a minimum of 750mm or 6.0m total clearance from the edge of the turntable to anything a car could hit as it turns around. This is in case the car isn’t parked right in the centre of the turntable but can still turn around without hitting anything.
If you have a very large car you would probably want even more clearance and should be advised by a traffic engineer.
For a 4.8m diameter turntable we recommend a minimum of 750mm or 6.3m total clearance from the edge of the turntable.
For a 6.0m diameter turntable we recommend a minimum of 500mm or 7.0m total clearance from the edge of the turntable.
A 4.5m diameter turntable will fit all types of vehicles up to large SUVs. Some of the largest cars still have a wheelbase of no more than 3.2m.
There is enough room to position on the turntable and, as it is a bit larger, it can be seen to position the car on the turntable.
A 4.8m diameter turntable gives more space.
Like a new garage, the first few times you drive onto the turntable it is best to get out and double check to make sure you are on the turntable enough before turning it around.
It will only take a couple of times before you are able to get into position easily.
It is up to your imagination what you would like on the top of your turntable.
We have clients that have galvanised chequer plate steel, concrete, pavers, tiles, timber, artificial grass and epoxy to name a few.
It needs to be put in before the area around it is to be concreted in to give the best finish.
If the turntable is going into a basement, it needs to go in before the floor around the turntable is going to be poured, which can be very early in the project.
If the turntable is going into a driveway, it needs to go in before the floor around the turntable is going to be poured, which is normally towards the end of the project.
Our process is that our technicians will install the complete turntable, which includes the formwork, so that we know there is an even gap around the turntable. This gives the best finish.
It is controlled with a remote control that can control the turntable either clockwise or anticlockwise.
For safety reasons we use “Dead Man” operation, which just means that the turntable will turn for as long as the button is pressed and then will stop once let go.
We can also integrate the same remote so that if you have a gate or garage door they can be operated on the same remote, instead of looking around your car for multiple remotes.
Our standard turntables can be installed on a slope of up to 2.5° but less than 9.5°.
We can also install on a slope greater than 2.5° but less than 9.5° with an extra motor and support wheel to provide the control of turntable required and additional support on the downside of the slope.
We really need to speak to you and see your plans to be able to assist you with the best position for the turntable on your project from our experience.
We only need 240v, 15 AMP, single phase supply to an isolate next to where you would like the turntable control box.
Our motors are 3 phase but the equipment in our control box converts the single phase power to 3 phase power as well as doing some other clever things.
