Turntables
A turntable is an indispensable part of a conveyor system that allows changing the direction of material transport in the range of 0 to 360 degrees. This component is designed to be able to smoothly and optimally rotate the material without the need to stop the system. The turntable consists of two main parts: the upper part forms the conveyor itself, which ensures transport, and the lower part contains the rotation system, which allows the change of direction.
Unlike a transfer unit, where material is moved in different directions taking into account its orientation, with a turntable, the material remains in the same orientation during the entire change of direction. This feature is advantageous in applications where there is no need to adjust the position of the material, but only to redirect the transport flow.
A turntable is often used in manufacturing and logistics processes, where flexibility in redirecting the material flow is important. It is suitable for systems where it is necessary to change the transport direction in a wide range, while maintaining the smoothness and stability of the process.
Thanks to its design and functionality, a turntable is a suitable solution for applications that require a change of direction without the need for fundamental changes in the orientation of the material. This enables the optimization of logistics operations and the simplification of material transport in various industrial sectors.

A turntable is a conveyor-line element that rotates material and changes its transport direction through an angle of 0 to 360 degrees. It consists of an upper section, the conveyor itself, and a lower rotating section that provides smooth rotation. The material remains in the same orientation and the system does not have to stop. Turntables are suitable for manufacturing and logistics operations, distribution centres and industrial applications where the goods flow needs to be redirected flexibly.
A turntable rotates material and changes its transport direction through an angle of 0 to 360 degrees while the material remains in the same orientation. A transfer table, by contrast, moves material between parallel routes without rotating it. The choice between the two solutions depends on whether you need to change the direction of flow or move the material to another track. If you need movement between parallel lines, see transfer tables.
A turntable is worthwhile wherever a conveyor line changes direction and the orientation of the transported material needs to remain unchanged. Typical examples include distribution centres, e-commerce warehouses and manufacturing operations with complex layouts. Rotation of up to 360 degrees allows the route to follow the hall layout precisely. The rotation is smooth and does not require the system to stop, so downstream transport is not delayed.
The load capacity and speed of a turntable depend on the specific design and required line capacity. We design the parameters according to the weight and dimensions of the transported material and the required operating cycle. The upper section consists of a conveyor selected according to the type of goods, while the lower section provides the rotating mechanism. We therefore determine the specific values only after considering your requirements and the nature of the transported material.
Yes, we design and manufacture turntables to order so that they fit into your existing conveyor line and downstream technologies. As a Czech manufacturer and integrator, we provide design, manufacturing, installation and subsequent service. We adapt the design and parameters to the hall layout, type of material and required capacity. We connect the turntable to downstream conveyors and other elements so that the entire line operates as one functional system.
