Turntables with conveyor deck

Overview

Industrial Kinetics Turntables with Conveyor Decks are pallet-handling devices designed to merge or divert palletized or unitized loads while reorienting the load within a conveyor system. By combining a rotating turntable base with an integrated conveyor deck, these units allow pallets to be transferred, accumulated, or redirected without breaking inline flow.



These turntables are engineered as heavy-duty, system-integrated components using proven Industrial Kinetics pallet conveyor construction practices. Multiple deck styles, roller spacings, and drive arrangements are available to suit a wide range of pallet sizes, weights, and throughput requirements.

Why Choose Us

Industrial Kinetics turntables are built specifically for pallet-class conveyor systems, using robust structural frames, slewing ring bearings, and proven conveyor deck designs. By integrating the conveyor deck directly into the rotating platform, these turntables provide reliable load transfer, precise orientation control, and long service life. Each unit is engineered to match the application rather than forced into a one-size-fits-all configuration.

Material Delivery and Dunnage Removal Conveyor system for Parallel Assembly Line, Overhead Material Delivery System

August 29, 2025
A vehicle manufacturer was looking for a new method to deliver materials for the assembly of vehicles to four parallel assembly lines. IK developed, engineered, and implemented an overhead pallet conveyor system that provided great benefits to the vehicle manufacturer.

System Integration

Turntables with conveyor decks are designed to integrate seamlessly with chain driven live roller conveyors, accumulation systems, transfer cars, and pallet handling equipment. Rotation, conveyor motion, and sensing are coordinated through the control system to ensure smooth pallet transfer and accurate positioning. These turntables are commonly used as central routing elements within fully automated pallet conveyor systems.

What industries typically use these systems:

01

Palletizing Systems: Diverting or orienting pallets for palletizers and depalletizers

02

Manufacturing: Merging pallet flows from multiple process lines

03

Warehousing & Distribution: Routing pallets to shipping or storage lanes

04

Automotive & Heavy Industry: Handling heavy or irregular palletized loads

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the advantage of a conveyor-deck turntable versus a plain turntable?

    A conveyor-deck turntable allows pallets to be driven on and off the rotating platform, maintaining controlled flow and eliminating the need for gravity or manual transfer.

  • Are both powered and manual turntables available?

    Yes. Industrial Kinetics offers both powered turntables with motor-driven rotation and manual turntables for lower-throughput applications.

  • How is rotation controlled and positioned?

    Rotation is controlled using geared drives with position feedback from proximity sensors or photoeyes, allowing accurate stop positions.

  • Can different conveyor deck types be used on the same turntable base?

    Turntable bases are engineered to accept specific deck configurations. Deck type is selected during design based on load and application requirements.

  • Are turntables custom engineered?

    Yes. Turntables with conveyor decks are engineered to match pallet dimensions, load characteristics, system layout, and operating conditions.
