Australian Turntable

What Australian Turntable does

Australian Turntables is a family-owned Australian manufacturer of motorized vehicle turntables, founded circa 1984 and headquartered in Kangaroo Flat, Victoria. The company designs and builds rotating platforms that allow cars, trucks, locomotives, and heavy industrial vehicles to enter and exit forward-facing without reversing, addressing space constraints, safety risks from vehicle maneuvering, and operational inefficiencies. Products span compact surface-mount residential units (Spinsy, 3,000 kg capacity) through to custom-engineered industrial platforms capable of rotating loads up to hundreds of tonnes and diameters up to 50 metres. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications, manufactures with Australian-sourced steel, and integrates safety features including laser-based anti-collision systems, automated wheel chocks, and precision alignment sensors.

The product portfolio covers residential car turntables (CTX, CTX+, Spinsy, garage and driveway variants), heavy truck turntables, loading dock systems (including the HTT9-250), locomotive turntables, material handling platforms, the Revolva portable hire unit, and 360-degree automotive photobooth systems. Engineering expertise accumulated over 40+ years underpins custom design capability for project-specific size, capacity, and environmental requirements, with anti-collision and safety systems as differentiating technical features rather than commoditized components.

Core offering

Australian Turntables designs, manufactures, and installs motorized vehicle turntables (rotating platforms) that rotate cars, trucks, and locomotives 180 or 360 degrees so they can enter and exit a space facing forward without reversing. The product line ranges from compact residential units (Spinsy, CTX, CTX+) to heavy-duty industrial platforms for loading docks, mining, rail yards, and material handling, with capacities from 3,000 kg up to 50 tonnes and custom diameters beyond 20 metres. The company also provides installation, service/maintenance, and custom engineering services for these turntable systems.

Product overview

Australian Turntables is a manufacturer of vehicle rotating platforms operating under a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core product line includes car turntables (CTX, CTX+, and SPINSY) for residential applications, heavy truck turntables for industrial use, and specialized solutions for loading docks, photobooths, and locomotive applications. Products range from compact 3000 kg portable units to custom-engineered industrial platforms capable of hundreds of tonnes, with standard models supplemented by custom diameters and configurations for specific project requirements. The portfolio also includes supporting accessories such as anti-collision sensors, remote controls, and custom flooring finishes.
