The railway turntable is designed to turn the locomotive by 180 °.
The railway turntable is controlled from a comfortable operator’s cabin. The cabin is equipped with a heater with high heat transfer, which allows setting the required microclimate in a short period of time. The cabin is also equipped with air conditioning.
For safe work, the design of the turntable includes: a spare manual drive, locking devices, indicators of the turntable readiness to receive a locomotive, lamps to illuminate the working area at night.
Application of Turntables in Railway Infrastructure
- Railway depots. Turntables in depots are used to rotate locomotives and wagons for repairs, maintenance, or refueling.
- Marshalling yards. At these stations, turntables are used to sort wagons and change train direction.
- Industrial sites. At industrial facilities where railway transport is utilized, turntables streamline logistics and allow trains to maneuver in restricted areas.

Technical Options for the Base Configuration
Electrical Equipment & Control
- Remote control (radio pendant or wired remote station) — for operation without constant presence in the cab
- Automatic positioning system with track position memory — the operator selects the track number and the turntable aligns automatically
- Integration with depot management systems (Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet protocols)
- CCTV system monitoring the working area with display in the operator’s cab
- Redundant frequency converter — eliminates downtime in case of primary unit failure
Climate & Ergonomic Configurations
- Enhanced thermal insulation cab (for harsh climate regions)
- High-power floodlighting of the turntable area (for night shifts)
Civil Works & Installation
- Development of foundation drawings and site-specific structural assignment
- Supervised installation with on-site specialists
- Commissioning and load testing
- Personnel training (operators + electricians + maintenance mechanics)
After-Sales Service & Lifecycle Support
- Extended warranty (beyond the standard term)
- Maintenance contract (routine servicing, seasonal maintenance)
- Spare parts and tooling kit (basic and extended sets)
- Remote equipment condition monitoring (when integrated with depot management system)
Non-Standard Configurations
- Custom turntable diameter (to suit specific rolling stock — diesel, electric locomotives, track maintenance machines)
- Increased load capacity (above 150 t — for heavy freight locomotives)
- Indoor depot configuration (no outdoor shelter, adapted cab dimensions)
- Heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating for high-humidity or coastal environments
