1. Site Selection and Survey
Ground Requirements: Select a solid, level concrete surface. Installation on slopes, soft ground, or surfaces with insufficient load-bearing capacity is strictly prohibited.
Space Planning: Ensure sufficient operating space around the installation site for trailer access, turning, and keep it clear of fixed obstacles (e.g., buildings, columns, pipelines).
2. Foundation Construction
Follow Specifications: Construct the foundation strictly according to the drawings and technical specifications provided by the turntable manufacturer.
Load-Bearing and Leveling: The foundation must withstand the maximum anticipated load (including trailer tare weight and cargo weight). Use a spirit level during construction to ensure the foundation surface is perfectly level, which is critical for turntable stability and smooth rotation.
3. Main Unit Installation
Precise Positioning: Use lifting equipment to place the turntable main unit steadily onto the foundation.
Alignment and Fixing: Ensure the rotational center axis of the turntable aligns with the intended central path of the trailer. Use the high-strength bolts or welding method specified by the manufacturer for permanent fixing, and tighten to the specified torque.
4. System Connection (If Applicable)
Hydraulic/Electrical Connection: If the turntable is hydraulically or electrically driven, connections must be made by qualified personnel.
Sealing and Testing: All hydraulic fittings must be tight to ensure no leaks. Electrical connections must meet dust and water protection requirements and undergo insulation testing. Before initial startup, perform a bump test to verify the correct rotation direction of the drive system.
5. Commissioning and Acceptance
No-Load Test: With no load, start the turntable for 360-degree rotation in both directions. Check for smooth operation, abnormal noise, or jamming.
Load Test: Perform actual rotation with a trailer equivalent to or slightly above the typical operating weight. Verify load capacity, stability, and whether system pressure/current is normal.
Final Inspection: Confirm all safety limit devices are functional and surrounding warning signs are in place.
1. Pre-Operation Inspection (Daily/Before Each Use)
Structural Check: Visually inspect the turntable body and fixing bolts for cracks, deformation, or looseness.
System Check: Check hydraulic fluid level and line leaks; ensure electrical wiring is intact; remove debris, ice, or other foreign objects from the turntable surface.
Environment Confirmation: Ensure the operating area is well-lit, the floor is clean and free of oil, and unauthorized personnel are cleared from the area.
2. Standardized Operating Procedure
Slow, Constant Speed: Guide the trailer onto/off the center of the turntable at an extremely low speed (typically walking pace), ensuring tires align with guide channels.
Centered Parking: Position the trailer's center of gravity (typically the cargo's center of gravity) as close to the turntable center as possible to avoid severe off-center loading.
Smooth Rotation: Before starting rotation, confirm the trailer parking brake is applied. Rotate smoothly; sudden starts and stops are prohibited.
No Overloading: Never exceed the manufacturer's rated maximum load capacity.
3. Safety Protection Requirements
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Operators and personnel in the vicinity must wear safety helmets, safety shoes, etc.
Establish Exclusion Zone: During rotation, establish a safety exclusion zone around the turntable. Prohibit personnel from standing or walking within.
Emergency Response: Know the location of the emergency stop button. Press it immediately in case of any abnormality (e.g., unusual noise, vibration, loss of control).
4. Periodic Maintenance and Servicing
Daily/Regular Maintenance: Clean surface debris and inspect key components after each use or regularly.
Scheduled Lubrication: Lubricate rotation bearings, gears, sliding surfaces, etc., strictly according to the maintenance manual's specified intervals and grease types.
System Maintenance: Regularly replace hydraulic fluid and filters; inspect electrical components. Consider system freeze protection or cooling with seasonal changes.
Professional Annual Inspection: It is recommended to have a comprehensive inspection, precision calibration, and fastener torque re-check performed by qualified technical personnel annually or after a specified number of operating cycles.
Core Safety Principles:
Installation is the Foundation: Precise and secure installation is the prerequisite for safety.
Inspection is Key: Pre-operation inspections prevent the vast majority of incidents.
Procedure is the Safeguard: Strictly adhere to load and speed limits.
Maintenance Prolongs Life: Regular servicing is an investment in long-term reliable operation.
