(1) Metal-to-metal contact of cam followers to steel turntable cause noise and high wear.

(2) Chain and sprocket systems require proper lubrication and adjustment. Chain will sag and cause uneven wear of sprocket.

(1) 48" diameter urethane race provides broad balanced support.(2) Sealed-for-life bearings.

• No maintenance, no lubrication.• Dependable belt drive.• No metal-to-metal wear.• Washdown capability.

This is their belt drive system that they say is used on Harley Davidson Motorcycles, if it can handle that is can drive a turntable. The belt is not heavy duty, does crack and break, and we have seen hundreds slip because of load weight and wet – slick environments

Film Carriages

Their EZ Thread is actually the hardest to thread carriage in the industry. You must feed it through a roller in the farthest point on the carriage, because of it’s side mount latch.

Our No Thread Carriage is actually just that. And with our new spring loaded gate you can be assured that your prestretch level is consistent forever.

No Cost EVER

(1) Roll Carriage(2) Chain Drive

• Chain driven roll carriage exerts downward force equal to weight of roll carriage plus downward force of chain drive.

(1) Counterweight(2) Roll Carriage

• Counter-weighted roll carriage reduces cumulative downward force to less than half the weight of roll carriage.

This is an actual belt sheared in two

We have also seen belts wrap the opposite way on the rollers, causing direction to reverse.

In 15 years of service, our dual chain lift system has never failed. Not once.

It keeps speeds constant and can lift 30 times the weight of the film carriage
