LOADING DOCK TURNTABLES

For our loading dock projects we have a wide range of standard turntables up to 24 metres in diameter, however due to our inhouse design & manufacturing we can supply a turntable customised to suit your specific requirements. Australian Turntables has installed turntables up to 50 metres in diameter.

For indoor or undercover installations, we have a standard model with a depth of 250mm. For outdoor installations, we recommend considering our 400mm deep model to accommodate heavy rain events.

Australian Turntables can carry any load our clients require. For each project we need to understand what the largest vehicle is that will use the turntable and whether the project requires more than one vehicle to rotate at any time in order to design the turntable accordingly. Our loading dock turntables structure is designed to 15kPa which is typically the same as the surrounding concrete slab in a loading dock. We also consider axle loads of the trucks that will be travelling over the platform. In Australia, the maximum allowable weight is 11,000kgs and our turntables can accommodate this.

All of our loading dock turntables are provided with a backup winch system which enables the turntable to be rotated during power or part failure events. This ensures that a vehicle will never be stuck in any event.

Australian Turntables has the capability to deliver a system that is as automated or as manual as required by the end user. Typically, in a loading dock either the truck driver or loading dock staff member will operate the turntable from the main control panel. Before rotation can commence, we program safe operating processes into the system to ensure all safety parameters are met. We also design and provide systems to assist with vehicle positioning, anti-collision, multi-location control etc. in collaboration with the project team. Should your project require a higher level of automation, we can also provide the solution to meet your needs.
