Installation on
a Concrete Base
DELIVERY:
As the Carousel is a full kitset it arrives palletised and can be moved
on-site between floors on multi-storey buildings etc, with ease.
The
diameter of the Standard unit is 4000mm. The depth overall is 400mm but
when site planning it is recommended that the finished height of the Turntable
be 25mm to 100 mm above the surrounding ground.
This
allows:
-
a)
Turning away storm-water
-
b)
Reducing excavation (or other) depth allowance
-
c)
Allowing the vehicle driver to feel exactly when car is on the turntable.
The
ramp effect is easily formed when surround concrete is being formed.
The most
inexpensive procedure on-site is to:
-
Pour
a 150mm reinforced concrete slab (using F.82 weldmesh or D1O at 300mm centres)
to finish at the desired height, after considering the recommendation in
the paragraph above on depth.
-
Install
the Turntable - allow 2 days work time.
-
Provide
concrete form work around the perimeter of the turntable using the deck
to support the form- work at the top and some ramset blocks of timber below.
After concreting and removal of the formwork you should have a minimum
of 1Omm clearance around.
ELECTRIC
DRIVE DETAIL If an
electric drive unit is to be used you will need to provide a recess in
the surrounding concrete to house the motor drive equipment.
Supply
power ducting to the recess with three phase power if there is a choice,
otherwise single phase.
This
recess is of the same depth as the centre base concrete slab and should
measure 650mm x 650mm (inside dimensions) with provision for a strong lid.
Place the recess preferably away from the busy traffic area, between the
wheel tracks or similar.
FORMING
SURROUND AND MOTOR DRIVE RECESS To
allow other construction work to flow freely, simply leave an approximate
4.5 metre sq. area in the floor housing of the Turntable. Place the electric
drive recess 650mm x 650mm inside wherever it is convenient.
The
drive unit consists of a maximum half h.p. 3 phase or single phase worm
gear drive. This has a friction wheel which drives against the outer ring
of the Turntable, giving a turning speed of 2 rpm, which can be varied
if required.
