Truck Turntables

Small spaces? Restricted access? High delivery volumes? Macton vehicle turntables turn logistics and traffic nightmares into safe, efficient solutions for maneuvering in restrictive spaces. A Macton vehicle turntable can be installed in a building on grade, or between levels of a parking garage, or outdoors to suit site conditions. Standard units are available up to 70 feet in diameter and with 100,000 lb. capacities. Custom-designed turntables with larger diameters or higher-load capacities can also be provided. Faced with ever increasing challenges for effective space utilization and reduced operating costs, vehicle turntables offer architects and owners proven solution to new money-saving design options.

Key Benefits of Macton’s Truck Turntables

• Provides Flexible Design Options – Macton's heavy-duty vehicle turntables provide architects and owners with a whole new spectrum of design options, while helping to solve problems related to space and other design constraints. Macton typically custom designs and manufactures each of these turntables to meet the specific needs of each of its customers.
• Save on Upfront Construction Costs – Macton's heavy-duty vehicle turntables can lower initial building costs by providing a reduction in the overall amount of space needed to be set aside for vehicle deliveries – in particular, it eliminates the dead space needed for turning areas and the added parking bay locations that would otherwise be needed as trucks back up waiting to get into the building – in a typical building, a truck turntable takes up less than a quarter of the space compared to the space it would take to handle the turning area for a tractor-trailer.
• Save on Ongoing Operational Costs – Macton's heavy-duty vehicle turntables provide ongoing cost benefits to building owners by reducing congestion and delivery times. By turning a truck around in 30 to 60 seconds, delays caused by the lengthy maneuvering of trucks and tractor-trailers in confined building spaces are avoided. As a result, fewer building personnel are needed to guide drivers, more of the dock capacity is freed-up, and indoor emissions are reduced.
• Reduction in Delivery Hassles and Safety Hazards – A Macton vehicle turntable provides easy building entry and exit for trucks. Turntables can drastically reduce traffic backups and hazards outside the building and the need for dangerous curbside docks for loading and unloading.
• Long-Term Reliability – Macton turntables have been in service for decades and move smoothly and quietly day in and day out for years – in fact, to our knowledge, none of these systems has ever failed to operate within the specified design criteria where proper minimal maintenance was performed.
• Minimal Maintenance Required – These systems require only a minimal amount of routine maintenance each year, which can be scheduled for times when the facility is not normally in operation – as a result, this minimal annual maintenance does not entail operational disruptions or expensive downtime for the servicing of this equipment.
• Full Support of Architect Throughout Project – Macton provides full support throughout the entire project, beginning with the initial design of the system to be built, during which time Macton’s engineering staff interfaces with the project’s architects to provide the practical assistance and the detailed technical support needed to integrate its equipment into the overall installation. This support includes providing foundational, electrical and control requirements, trim details, data for structural analysis and any other assistance the project requires.  
• Ease of Equipment Installation – Macton provides a specially-trained field engineer or technician to supervise the installation, start-up and commissioning of its equipment, ensuring that it is brought on-line quickly and delivers the expected performance.
• Ongoing Post-Sale Support – Macton also provides long-term spare parts and technical support services. Long-term service contracts are also available at each of these installations for periodic inspection and maintenance programs, as well as training services, as needed. In addition, Macton provides customers with the ability to easily upgrade their control panels, drives and other systems to ensure they reflect the latest in technology.
