3.6: Turntable, 50400233-234
The turntable is ideal for situations where intersections are required in a rail system or when a rail turn, which the
standard rail curves cannot accommodate, is required (for example a curve with a very small turning radius).
It is available in two models; one electrical, powered by a motor and one manual, powered by pulling a rope.
The turntable provides ultimate flexibility in various lifting and transfer situations demanding a wide range of
locations or requiring specialized options. Whether used in a multi-user institutional environment or in a private
residential setting, the turntable provides fixed ceiling rail take-off points that will meet the requirements.
For more information about all available MilkyWay turntables; article numbers and technical data, please consult
the “MilkyWay Technical information” document.
When selecting the location and position of the turntable please consider:
• That a clear space can be maintained around the turntable, lift unit and rail.
• That it may be necessary to modify the ceiling to make room for the center bearing.
• That the system preferably can be mounted with pendants.
Before installation:
• Before installing the turntable, make sure that the rail exit directions are correct. For instructions on how to
change them, see 3.6.1: Changing rail exit direction.
• Before installing the electrical version of the turntable, the contact strips must be checked. There are different strips
for Reda and RiseAtlas lift units. The turntable is supplied preset for RiseAtlas. For information about
conversion to Reda lift unit, see 6.5.1: Internal wiring diagram. This is not necessary with the manual turntable.
