RULES FOR STACKING TURNTABLES ON LIFTS
Featured Product from Advance Lifts, Inc.
RULES FOR STACKING TURNTABLES ON LIFTS:
1. The lift must have enough capacity to lift both the weight of the items on the turntable and the weight of the turntable itself.
2. The minimum lift platform must be large enough to support the entire turntable baseframe.
3. Be sure the lift under the turntable is allowed to have a platform as wide as the longest side or overall diameter of the turntable. Calculate the side loading capacity of the lift with the long dimension of the turntable.
4. If you are using a low profile powered turntable that normally has the drive motor mounted outside of the turntable, be sure that the lift has enough lowered height to allow the drive motor to hang down and if the motor is mounted on the side of the lift, it must be counterbalanced to provide an evenly distributed load on the lift when the unit is empty.
5. Lowered heights are simply the sum of the lowered heights of the two units.
