Carousel Frequently Asked Questions
| How much will site preparation and surround work cost me? | If this work is being done in conjunction with a new driveway then there is very minor extra cost. If the existing drive has to be removed etc then this excavation work and new finishing work around turntable is a cost. Normally max = $1000 but depending on each site. Average $500. |
| 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.
