Car Turntable Design
At the heart of every PowerUp car turntable is our cutting-edge Pin-Gear Drive system, offering a far superior alternative to traditional friction drive systems.
Specifically designed for low-speed, heavy-duty applications, the Pin-Gear Drive ensures smooth operation, even under demanding conditions.
Furthermore, its robust design excels in environments with high dust levels and limited lubrication, making it the perfect choice for maintaining reliability in tough settings. As a result, our car turntable delivers long-term durability and consistent performance, enhancing both convenience and safety.

Car Lift Design
When specifying vehicle hoists or platform lifts designed for personnel, the relevant standard is AS1418.8.
In simple terms, AS1418.8 has never permitted and currently does not permit passengers on a car hoist. It explicitly allows only an authorized operator—who, by definition, is not considered a passenger. This standard addresses the general design, components, testing, and operation for car hoist, including details on load ratings, load combinations, construction, inspection, and maintenance.
Platform lifts and hoists governed by AS1418.8 are designed to be operated strictly by authorized personnel. Excluding untrained visitors from using them. This standard permits only the driver to remain in the vehicle during operation. This ensures safety by requiring all operators to be properly trained. Unauthorized use is further prevented through access controls like codes, cards, or keys.
Unlike lifts with enclosed cabins, a car hoist under AS1418.8 typically features an open platform. This design is allowed because the control button must be continuously pressed (dead man switch) while the user is seated in the vehicle.
