Garage space is limited — but a smart solution is within reach
If you live in a city or a neighborhood where space is tight, you know how challenging parking can be. Narrow garages, awkward driveways, or busy streets make pulling in and out stressful, especially when reversing isn’t safe or even possible.
That’s where turntables come in. These rotating platforms offer a practical, high-tech solution to help homeowners park with ease. Instead of struggling to maneuver in tight quarters, a turntable rotates your vehicle to face the exit, no reversing required.
It’s a simple, space-saving idea that’s changing how people use their garages.
1. What is a turntable — and what types are available?
A car turntable is a motorized, circular platform that rotates your vehicle 360 degrees. With the push of a button, your car turns to face the right direction, making it easier to enter or exit your garage, even in confined spaces.
There are two main types of turntables:
- Residential turntables: Designed for homes, these are compact and surface-mounted to fit within standard garages or driveways.
- Commercial and industrial turntables: Built for heavier vehicles or public use, these are ideal for car dealerships, parking garages, or event setups.
Rotoquip offers both styles, engineered for convenience, durability, and smart design.
2. Key benefits of installing a turntable in your garage
Homeowners across the U.S. are choosing turntables for more than just aesthetics. They solve real parking problems:
- Make tight spaces usable: No more multi-point turns or tricky reversals.
- Simplify your routine: Park, rotate, and drive out. It’s that easy.
- Prevent accidents and damage: Reduce the risk of hitting walls, fences, or nearby objects.
- Increase property value: Turntables are modern, practical, and attractive to future buyers.
Adapt to your lifestyle: Whether you’re a new homeowner, a car enthusiast, or simply tired of tight maneuvers, this solution fits all your needs.
3. What to consider before installing a turntable
Turntables are designed to be adaptable, but before installation, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Space and dimensions: Ensure there’s enough room for both the platform and the full rotation of your vehicle.
- Installation surface: Surface-mounted models are great for existing garages. Recessed models may require structural changes.
- Budget: Costs vary by size, finish, and location. Think of it as a long-term investment in convenience and value.
- Choosing the right model: Look for platforms rated for your vehicle weight, backed by solid engineering and local support.
