Installing a car turntable isn’t an everyday decision and if you’re here, you probably have questions. Good. That means you’re thinking smart.
Spinsy was designed to solve real-life parking problems: tight driveways, tricky angles, and the daily stress of reversing in and out of your own home. But before making the investment, most homeowners want to know exactly how it works, what it costs, and whether it fits their space.
This FAQ covers the most common questions we hear from future Spinsy owners so you can decide if it’s the right fit for your home and your lifestyle.
1. What is a Spinsy car turntable and how does it work?
Spinsy is a surface-mounted car turntable specifically designed for residential driveways. Its purpose is simple: to allow your vehicle to rotate in place so you can always drive in and out facing forward. Instead of struggling to reverse out of a narrow, angled, or steep driveway, Spinsy lets you park and exit with a smooth 360° rotation all with the press of a button.
Unlike turntables that require deep excavation or permanent installation, Spinsy sits directly on your driveway surface. It’s designed to function on a variety of materials, including concrete, pavers, and asphalt. Once installed, it becomes a seamless part of your home environment offering a clean, modern solution to one of the most frustrating everyday problems.
In short, it’s a parking solution that prioritises ease of use, spatial efficiency, and quality engineering without changing the structure of your home.
2. Does my driveway need to be flat or modified?
No excavation, no tiling, no major works required. Spinsy was built from the ground up to work with your existing driveway surface. As long as your driveway is reasonably level and structurally sound, our team can install Spinsy without modifying the terrain. That includes surfaces like polished concrete, standard pavers, and even asphalt in some cases.
The ability to install Spinsy on top of your existing surface is what makes it so different from older or more industrial systems. It’s designed for residential homes, meaning it won’t require council approval in most cases, nor will it interrupt your daily routine during setup. Installation usually takes one day fast, clean, and with no surprises.
If your current driveway isn’t a flat slab, don’t worry. During the quoting process, our team will assess your site and confirm compatibility before proceeding.
3. Can I install a Spinsy turntable myself?
Spinsy is not designed as a DIY product and for most homeowners, that’s a key part of why it works so well. It’s a precision-built system that requires proper alignment, calibration, and a professional install to ensure safety and long-term performance.
That said, if you have experience with mechanical assembly and hand tools, you may be able to complete the installation yourself. However, it’s important to note that incorrect installation can affect system performance and may impact your warranty.
The good news is that the installation process is handled entirely by our authorised team. Most homes only need a single day for complete installation. Because Spinsy is surface-mounted, there’s no need to dig, pour concrete, or request permits in the majority of locations.
Once installed, Spinsy is ready to use immediately. We also provide full user guidance, support, and warranty coverage as part of your package all of which are best guaranteed when installation is completed by our team.
4. Is Spinsy safe for children, pets, and elderly users?
Yes, Spinsy is designed with family safety and everyday use in mind. Its rotation is slow, smooth, and completely controlled, removing the sudden jerks or blind spots that can make reversing dangerous. There are no exposed moving parts or open mechanisms, which adds another layer of protection in homes with small children or pets.
For older users or anyone with limited mobility, Spinsy makes parking a far less stressful experience. There’s no awkward reversing, no strain turning the steering wheel at odd angles, and no risk of bumping into walls, posts, or fences when backing out. It’s especially valuable for those who want to stay independent longer but may find traditional driveway access increasingly difficult.
By allowing forward entry and exit every time, Spinsy not only simplifies the process — it actively reduces risk.
5. How much weight can a Spinsy handle?
Spinsy is built for real vehicles—not just small cars. It can support a wide range of everyday vehicles, including large family SUVs, utes, and even full-size vans. The turntable is engineered with the same durability and performance standards used in Australian Turntables’ commercial and industrial platforms, adapted specifically for residential environments. It can safely handle loads of up to 3000 kg.
Weight capacity is one of the first questions we get, and it’s for good reason. Homeowners want to know their turntable won’t wear out under the weight of a heavy vehicle — and with Spinsy, that’s not a concern. Every unit is designed and tested for strength, reliability, and all-weather performance.
If you have a unique vehicle such as a long-wheelbase van or a modified car our team will assess your specs before confirming suitability. But for the vast majority of residential vehicles in Australia, Spinsy handles the load with no issue.
6. How much does a Spinsy cost, and what’s included?
Spinsy starts at $25,600 AUD. This is the base price for the turntable itself, including the surface-mounting system, product warranty, and ongoing customer support.
Installation, ramps, and freight to site are an additional cost, depending on your location and project requirements. These are quoted separately to ensure you’re only paying for what you need, with no unnecessary extras.
There are no hidden renovation costs, and in most cases, no need for permits or external contractors.
When evaluating price, it’s important to consider what you’re not paying for like excavation, tiling, or complicated electrical setups. Spinsy avoids all of that with a streamlined install process and self-contained platform that arrives ready to perform.
More than a convenience upgrade, Spinsy is a long-term investment in safety, time-saving, and property value. Whether you’re designing a new home or retrofitting an existing one, the return on usability, access, and resale appeal can far exceed the initial cost.
7. Can I take Spinsy with me if I move house?
Yes and that’s one of the most valuable advantages of owning a Spinsy. Unlike fixed installations, Spinsy is portable. If you move homes, you can choose to disassemble and relocate your turntable to the new address, giving you continued value from your original investment.
Alternatively, some owners opt to leave the turntable installed as a premium feature that adds appeal and value to the property. Either way, you’re not locked into a permanent fixture Spinsy gives you flexibility as your life and location change.
Our team can help you manage the relocation or guide the new owner through their setup if you decide to leave it behind.
8. What’s the warranty and support like?
Spinsy comes with a full product warranty and the backing of Australian Turntables’ decades of engineering experience. If an issue arises, you simply contact us through the support form on our website. Depending on the nature of the issue, we’ll organise an inspection, a partial or full return, or a replacement whichever is most appropriate.
In cases of major failure, you may be eligible for a full refund or replacement. For minor issues, repair or part replacement is typically sufficient. The process is transparent and designed to make sure you’re always supported without the long delays or poor service common with cheaper, overseas products.
Spinsy comes with a 2-year warranty, reflecting our commitment to quality and customer support. This clear and reliable coverage is one of the reasons why homeowners choose Spinsy over cheaper alternatives that can’t offer the same level of assurance or after-sales care.
