How to Choose Car Turntable Size

Key method

Start from wheelbase and safe wheel position

Buyers often begin with the total vehicle length, but the more useful selection reference is the wheelbase and the wheel position on the circular platform. The wheels should remain on the platform with a clear safety margin from the edge.

For residential projects, the site opening, driveway width, door position and turning direction also matter. For display projects, the visible floor finish, rotation speed and customer viewing distance may be more important.

Diameter

Choose enough platform diameter for the vehicle type and wheel clearance.

Load

Use gross vehicle weight rather than empty vehicle weight for rated capacity.

Installation

Confirm pit-mounted or pitless structure before final design.
