Turning & Rotating Devices

Turntables and rotating tabletops facilitate turning, rotating, and positioning objects, and they reduce the forces needed to move parts, tools, and equipment on a workbench.

Turntables come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and configurations and can be manual or powered. Some turntables are capable of rotating completely, and a pneumatic foot-operated rotating tabletop makes it easy to position objects within easy reach. Existing work surfaces can be retrofitted with turntables and roller tops.

Turning and rotating devices require regular maintenance.
