Vehicle Turntables

Vehicle Turntables provide effective access solutions

From improving car parking provision in city centre office blocks, to enabling truck access to sites that would not otherwise be accessible.

Units can be built for internal or external use and for integration into a suspended slab or ground slab, as required. Most are based on standard, tried and tested design models, and in all cases they offer low noise, ease of use and a reliable, long life with minimal service and maintenance costs.

In each case, dedicated Movetech UK engineers work closely with architects, surveyors and project engineers from design up to commissioning of the turntable, as well as providing a responsive post‐commissioning support service. Movetech UK also offers overall design assistance to help meet current Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) regulations.

Standard & Bespoke Design

Movetech UK works with standard and bespoke designs to build structural turntables to rotate any vehicle, from the smallest of cars in an underground car park, to an HGV in a city centre retail delivery area – and not forgetting military aircraft and vehicles.

Where a very low profile pit is required, the turntable can be floated on a film of air using Movetech UK’s Hovair air bearing technology. This system may be preferred where the turntable is to be installed in a suspended slab.

Vehicle Turntable options:
  • Internal or external use
  • Weather, corrosion and environmental protection
  • Integration into a ground slab or suspended slab
  • Electric, pneumatic or hydraulic drives
  • Position control
  • Fixed or variable speed, soft start and/or stop
  • Remote control
  • Security features
  • Safety features
  • Low profile requirements
Benefits of installing a Vehicle Turntable

There are many benefits of installing a Vehicle Access Turntable, for example:

Assists Manoeuvring in Restricted Areas – Vehicle turntables can assist with vehicle manoeuvring in restricted areas. This also makes the working area a much safer place by reducing vehicle movement.

Frees Up Space for more Profitable Use – Installing a vehicle turntable can help free up valuable storage space for more profitable use. A smaller yard area is required when a turntable is installed.

Helps with Planning Requirements – Vehicle turntables can aid in helping to meet local planning requirements – when vehicles are required to only enter/exit a facility in forward gear.

Supports Logistics and Environmental Issues – Vehicle turntables can improve logistics by reducing delivery turn around times, also improving environmental pollution, vehicle emissions and tyre scrub.

Reliable and cost-effective Servicing Plans

For most of our customers, reliability is key and critical to their business performance. So regular and efficient maintenance is necessary.

We provide full detailed O&M manuals with all of our units upon completion, and some people are quite happy to maintain their own equipment. But for those who don’t have the facilities to maintain and service their equipment, we offer reliable and cost-effective servicing plans. In addition to removing the stress of having to maintain your own equipment, our servicing teams will visit your site and provide a full routine service and maintenance of the equipment.

Our trained engineers are fully qualified to offer the full service requirements and we produce appropriate service records for all work undertaken. For extra peace of mind, when the unit is vital to daily operations, emergency breakdown support is also available.

Contact us for more information about servicing, and/or to arrange a service.

Professional & Accredited

Our dedicated team of engineers and trained technicians will offer advice and assistance to any query we believe falls within our expertise, always with a mind to ensuring the goals of quality, safety and value are delivered. We also have our own in-house design services working with the latest CAD and 3D modelling facilities.

Movetech UK is ISO 9001 (Quality Management System) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Systems) certified. In addition to also holding certificates and accreditations for SafeContractor, CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme), WEEE (Waste Electrical & Electronic Equipment) and Constructionline Gold. All of our accreditations and certifications are periodically reviewed and updated, to make sure we are offering the best and most up to date practices. 

We also own our own manufacturing facilities in Bolton (UK), where it is not unusual for us to perform factory acceptance tests for visiting customers such as Sellafield Ltd, Rolls Royce Aero, and many others.
