Does My Business Need an Industrial Turntable System?

During the production process, some products need to be rotated so they are accessible from all sides before proceeding to the next process in assembly or manufacturing.

Negating Problems of Bulk and Weight

Industrial rotating equipment allows workers to rotate the load up to 360 degrees in both directions, making it much easier to finalize fabrication or perform maintenance tasks, regardless of size or weight.

This rotation becomes a challenge and a safety risk for workers if they must maneuver bulky or heavy loads manually. Not only do turntables give your staff full access to the product as they work, turntables minimize the need for manual lifting, twisting, and bending, taking workplace safety to higher levels.

Alongside safety, the enhanced ergonomic features of industrial turntables assist workers in performing tasks more comfortably throughout the application. Far less physical strain and fatigue is required as the products or equipment move through the complete, repetitive workflow.

Facilitating Smoother Material Movement and Transfer

Many plants or warehouses must make the most of limited square footage, which may necessitate positioning conveyors at awkward angles. Turntables can be installed into compact areas, allowing you to utilize your full available floor space and reduce the need for larger conveyor systems or building expansion.

Reaching the end of one conveyor, the powered turntable shifts the product to continue down the next conveyor, regardless of their orientation, optimizing your workspace.

Also, utilizing industrial turntables enables you to feed your product into another system or phase of manufacturing. Autoquip’s customized industrial turntables make this transition as easy as possible while ensuring maximum safety for your workers.

Turntables can also be customized to meet specific needs, with options for varying load capacities, sizes, and speeds. They can also be integrated with other equipment like conveyors, ball transfers, or scissor lifts for added functionality.

Let’s get into Autoquip’s line of amazing industrial turntables to find the right one for your particular application.
