Thanks Les

Now.......using a lazy Susan is a great idea....... I never thought they would carry such heavy loads 👍

I could always lookout for one of these :

You may need to consider space you have available. A lazy Susan would need to be in the centre of approx. 8 foot square. Can they be braked to stop them turning when working on the bike?
The Castor trolley I have turns, and can be braked. It will also move on the garage floor. When not working on the bike, it can be moved, to only take the space of a parked bike in the garage, approx. 8' x 2'. I do not need 8' x 8' turning circle a Lazy Susan needs, I just pull the trolley away from the wall to get the other side. Just push it back against the wall again when not working on the bike.

Lazy Susan is all I need as I just want to turn the bike around rather like a train turntable so that when I ride it to where it's parked
I can turn it easily ready to point in the ride out direction.

Thanks for your input Rob

Not at The Goat tonight, the Goat is first Thurs of the month. Consider that section inactive.
Tonight is E. London & Essex section meet at Stappleford Tawney airfield. About 3 miles east of Abridge on A113. I will be there tonight. Come along in your car, most others do this time of year.

One Bike Turntable rated at 500kg assembled and now in use, I may round the checkerplate to suit the lazy susan diameter at a later date.

I know what you mean. It just seems correct to have a round checkerplate on a turntable! Cheers. Bruce.
