Turntables and Traversers
Whiting turntables and traversers are built with an extremely robust design with minimal maintenance requirements and very high service life.
Rail Traversers
Traversers (or transfer tables) are an invaluable tool for maintaining traffic flow between rail tracks in your car repair or maintenance shop.
Traversers can be installed with pit or without pit, completely automatic or with a semi-automatic control.
Movement of vehicles on and off the traverser can also be managed by winches or a progression system supplied on the transfer table.
Small diameter turntables used for rotating bogies are designed with a large centre slewing bearing. Therefore, the bearing can withstand large cantilever forces; additional sets of support wheels near the outside diameter of the turntable is not required. This design also simplifies the installation because the additional pit track for the support wheels is not required. Furthermore, the slewing bearing allows for an easy manual rotation of the turntables by an operator.
