Golf Cart Turntable
Today's Daily Sun included a section Salute to Business, which mentions a Villages couple who invented and now sells a turntable for your garage. You pull your golf cart in normally and then spin it around, eliminating the need to back out. What a great idea. They don't mention the cost but you have to admit the concept has merit, particularly in CYV's which all have curved driveways, and 1 1/2 car garages.

That does sound like a good idea if it's cost effective. I have has a fusion in my neck and I found it was difficult to turn and look to see when backing out of a CYV.

Seems to me it is simpler to just learn how to back up. If you can't back a cart, I hate to think what happens with a full size car!

Just a thought:
If space is really tight in the garage, maybe consider backing your cart in, especially if you need to park it close to a wall or something. With the steering wheels to the rear while backing it in, you'll find the cart to be more maneuverable when trying to keep it close to a wall. It'll seem pretty awkward at first, but practice will make perfect! Bill |

You got that right! Especially if you have a vehicle parked on one side of driveway and a brick landscaping wall along the other side of the driveway! I think the turntable is a neat idea, especially for those who don’t have full range of (twisting) motion. It would probably work very well if you have the needed space. I applaud their ingenuity.

The curved driveway presents little challenge to a golf cart that can turn on a dime, I've never had a problem with the cart...a car, however, is another story.

They have a website with a video showing its operation. The site does not have a price, but does have contact information. Cart Carousel Inc.

I found another couple of solutions which try to solve storage issues in a similar way. I had no idea such things existed until today. ATV, Lawn Tractor & Golf Cart Parking System - P&S 5000 And a video from Youtube: Quote:

You've got to admire the ingenuity of folks like this.
Personally, I'm usually happy to just do the simplest, which might be to just back out with the beeper making unpleasant noises! But, that someone would even think to come up with what appears to me to be a very simple concept excites me! More power to these creative people! Even should they only sell a handful of their gadgets, methinks that's successful! :-) SWR

I saw the ad in the paper and the first thing that came to my mind was the problem with exhaust in the garage, which would quickly enter the house. That is the reason I don't back my cart, motorcycle or car in. You don't want to start up with exhaust pumping into garage, then pull out and shut the door.

If anyone knows (or finds out) cost for this, please let us know.
Thanks
