Pallet Carousel

Placed on any stable surface (e.g., floor, work bench, table, scissor platform), a Pallet Carousel-also called turntable ring-allows 360-degree rotating of palleted items to aid in a multitude of tasks, such as loading/unloading, stretch wrapping, etc., while one is able to remain at a single location. The device consists of two 40+-inch-diameter structural-angle rings that house a series of sealed ball bearings that transfer an up-to-4,000-pound load (depending on make/model) to the supporting surface. Mobility is provided by four small caster wheels on the bottom ring. An example of agricultural use is for rotating a round bale of hay to pull off material a small amount at a time. The user does not need to walk around and around the bale to pull off hay but can instead rotate the bale on the carousel when removing hay.

Cost: $355-$420, depending on load capacity
