WELS – CTST-3TON

The Welmequ WELS-CTST-3 Ton Car Turn Table with Scissor Lift is a sophisticated hybrid solution that combines a robust rotary turntable with a heavy-duty scissor lift platform, delivering unmatched flexibility, space optimisation, and safety for modern automotive workshops, service centres, and showrooms. Built to handle up to 3,000 kg (6,600 lbs), this dual-function system allows vehicles to be elevated and rotated in a single, integrated unit — all without changing equipment or setup. This means mechanics, detailers, and service professionals can lift vehicles for maintenance and rotate them to face any direction for alignment, inspection or display — streamlining operations and boosting productivity.

Innovative Dual Function: Lift + Turn

What sets the WELS‑CTST apart is its ability to lift the vehicle vertically and rotate it 360 degrees simultaneously. The integrated scissor lift raises the turntable to height, offering full underbody access for maintenance, inspection, welding or repair functions. Once elevated, the turntable’s mechanism allows for smooth rotation, enabling technicians to reposition the vehicle for optimal working orientation without the risk, time, or effort of rolling, reversing, or re-driving. This dual motion is ideal for service bays where space is precious and repositioning large vehicles is a routine operation.

Precision Engineering for Strength and Control

The scissor lift component is built from high-strength structural steel, with precision-machined pivot points, reinforced cross-members, and high-quality load-bearing pins to ensure stable, vertical motion even under full load. The turntable is supported by heavy-duty sealed bearings and a reinforced steel frame, which distributes weight evenly and eliminates torque-related wobble or drift during rotation.

The hydraulic system powering the lift is designed for smooth, controlled lifting and lowering. The system incorporates flow-control valves for gradual acceleration and deceleration, ensuring a smooth start/stop motion that maintains vehicle alignment. Hydraulic overload protection ensures the lift operates within its rated capacity, safeguarding against misuse or mechanical overload.

The rotational drive utilises a gear-driven motor or a pinion-gear system, enabling precise torque control. This ensures a stable, incremental rotation, while torque-limiting features prevent sudden motion that could compromise safety or damage the platform.

Enhanced Workflow Efficiency & Shop Layout

In busy workshops and crowded service bays, the WELS‑CTST delivers major efficiency advantages. Rather than driving vehicles on and off different fixtures for lift and turn operations, technicians can perform all tasks in one integrated system. When a vehicle needs to be inspected from one side, lifted, and then rotated to face another direction for further work, the mechanics can accomplish the entire operation without repositioning — saving time and reducing risk.

For shops that combine alignment, underbody repair, detailing, or inspection work, the combination of scissor lift and turntable unlocks a seamless workflow. Elevate the vehicle, rotate it exactly as needed, perform the work, and safely lower it — all with a single device. This minimises the use of floor space and reduces the amount of equipment clutter in the workspace.

In showrooms, the system also shines. Vehicles can be raised for better viewing height and rotated slowly to impress customers. This helps showcase underhood, underbody, or side-line design elements. Sales teams can leverage this functionality to create dynamic presentations, while buyers experience vehicles from every angle — all in a compact footprint.

Safety at Every Stage

Because it encompasses both vertical lift and rotary motion, comprehensive safety is integrated at every stage. Key features include:

• Mechanical safety locks on the scissor lift ensure stable holding at multiple elevations. The emergency lowering valve allows operators to safely and manually lower the platform.

• Torque-limiting drive system prevents overspeed during rotation.

• Overload sensors stop rotation or lifting if weight limits are exceeded.

• The non-slip platform surface ensures tyre grip while rotating or lifting.

• Perimeter safety guards prevent foot entrapment and contain rotating vehicles. To ensure safety

• Emergency stop controls are placed strategically for immediate shutdown.

These safety systems work together to deliver precise, secure lifting and rotation — even in high-stakes workshop conditions.

Durability and Long-Term Reliability

The Welmequ WELS‑CTST‑3 Ton is engineered for longevity. Its structural steel components are welded and braced for strength, and its platform is finished with durable powder coating to resist abrasion, chemical exposure, and wear. Sealed rotary bearings are pre-lubricated for long service life, and hydraulic components are designed for minimal maintenance. Service-access panels provide technicians with easy entry to the bearing, motor, and hydraulic assemblies, making regular inspection and lubrication straightforward. The modular nature of drive units and hydraulic modules also simplifies part replacement and reduces downtime.

Installation Flexibility

The hybrid turn-table-lift unit can be installed in multiple ways to suit diverse workshop layouts:

1. Surface-mounted setup – bolted to a concrete floor for a low-hassle upgrade.

2. Pit-mounted installation – recesses the scissor lift so the top of the turntable sits flush with the floor at rest.

3. Semi-flush design – a shallow pit is used for the turntable, making integration neater while preserving lift range.

This flexibility ensures that even existing shops without major civil work can benefit from the combined lift-turn functionality.

Operator Experience and Controls

Operating the WELS‑CTST-3 Ton is intuitive. The system can be controlled via a wired pendant, fixed control panel, or optional foot switch, enabling precise action during lifting and turning operations. The control system supports both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation, and the speed of rotation can be adjusted for fine alignment or rapid repositioning. Safety interlocks ensure that the lift and rotation functions cannot be misused simultaneously — for instance, rotation is only enabled once the platform has securely locked or reached a predefined elevation.

Business Benefits & ROI

By combining two key functions into a single unit, the WELS‑CTST offers significant business benefits:

• Time savings: Mechanics spend less time positioning vehicles and more time on actual work.

• Space efficiency: One device replaces separate lift and turntable equipment, freeing up floor space.

• Safety improvement: Reduced vehicle repositioning limits the risk of collisions, drops, or misalignment.

• Customer impression: In showrooms, the raised and rotated display makes a strong impact.

• Cost-effectiveness: Consolidated function and durable construction reduce the need for multiple machines and lower maintenance costs.

Summary

In summary, the Welmequ WELS-CTST-3 Ton Car Turn Table with Scissor Lift is a powerful, efficient, and safe solution for automotive operations that require flexibility, precision, and long-term durability. By seamlessly integrating a scissor lift with a rotary turntable, this model enables elevated access and full 360° rotation, streamlining the workflow, saving space, and enhancing operational safety. For service centres, workshops, or showrooms seeking to modernise their processes or presentation, the WELS-CTST offers a smart, dependable combination of lift and turn that enhances both performance and professional value.
