Our surface-mounted turntable is designed to be placed directly on the floor. This means it is almost always possible to install the turntable on the existing floor. The ultra-flat turntable requires a hard surface and cannot be placed on carpet or any other soft surface. The 5 cm thick version, however, can be placed on carpet, which even reduces the noise produced while the turntable is rotating. Of course, the surface must be stable and strong enough to support the total weight. The motor unit of the 5 cm thick turntable is approximately 11–12 cm thick, while the motor unit of the ultra-flat turntable is about 9 cm thick. On average, the motor units are therefore around 10 cm thick, which means the motor unit protrudes slightly above the turntable. In practice, this is not an issue, as there is always a car positioned in front of the motor unit when photographing the vehicles.
