| What maintenance is required? |
Practically none. Grease
one grease point 6-monthly. |
| Do we have to have drainage
from the pit? |
Yes, a water outlet is
desirable. |
| Can children get hurt
playing on the turntable? |
No more likely than any
other situation such as doors jamming fingers etc. 100% safety record. |
| Should the timber decking
be painted? |
A timber stain is a good
idea to prolong the life of the decking as is done with other timber. |
| How much room do I need
to place a turntable? |
The length of the cars
likely to be using it. 5 metres in diameter is average size. |
| Where should it be positioned? |
Preferably where it can
be accessed by all vehicles. Those in the garage and any casuals such as
visitors. Just outside the garage is best. |
| What would happen if
a heavy vehicle tried to drive upon it? |
Our turntable can handle
2 Tonnes on the edge, but any vehicle heavier should not use it. (2 Tonnes
will allow say a delivery van or similar, but care must be taken not to
exceed this loading!) |
| Do I need a flat area
as my situation is not level? |
A flat level area is
not necessary. The turntable can be angled as much as you wish. It will
still operate perfectly. However, in these situations it is really better
to use a drive unit rather than a manually turned method. |
