Factors to Consider When Selecting a Car Turntable



Since there are many types of turntables with different designs in the market, there is a need to know what to consider when choosing a suitable turntable for your residential home or business. 

The following are some of the factors to consider when doing so:

The size of the vehicle determines the diametere of a turntable, the number of cars, and the size of your garage. You will need a sufficient diameter for your cardiameter to rotate efficiently. 

Most car models require a turntable with a 4.5 meters diameter. However, consider your car size and your space when deciding your turntable diameter.


Clearance Zone


This is the additional space or meter on the radius that facilitates rotation without collision. The clearance zone ensures your car rotates efficiently. 

Therefore, consider a rotation zone of 6.5meters or an additional meter for easy rotation of the turntable.


Anti-Collision Sensors


If you don’t have the 6.5meter rotation zone, then the anti-collision sensors will work well. The turntables are equipped with these sensors that cease rotation, preventing the car from colliding with walls or another vehicle.


Power Requirements


Turntables require adequate power to keep working smoothly. Consider the power requirements on the specifications when choosing a turntable. Ideally, the power supply needed is 240v 10amp. 

The energy is converted within the turntable control box to facilitate its functions.
