Core product

1,000 MT Modular Turntable

  • 1,000 MT, upgradeable
  • 2 × 55 kW VFD
  • 40-ft container modules
  • DNV / BV

An umbilical and cable turntable with a capacity of up to 1,000 MT, upgradeable for larger campaigns. It can be operated with the cable tank directly for quick mobilisation, and deploys on PSVs, work barges, pipe-lay vessels or on shore.

  • Two 55 kW motors accelerate the turntable to its 1 rpm top speed
  • Carousel, controls, motors and loading arm ship as one package
  • Mobilised, set up and commissioned within 48 hours
  • Built for DP1 cable-laying campaigns, shallow to ultra-deep water

Platform

Designed for fast mobilisation

A fast, reliable and safe solution for one of the most challenging tasks in subsea operations, engineered, fabricated and commissioned by Dimension.

Container-mobilisable

Smaller sub-units disassemble easily and break down to 40-ft container shipment.

FEA-validated structure

Radial spoked shell with a CNC-machined slewing bearing, optimised through full Abaqus / FEA stress analysis.

Quick-connect electrics

Quick-connect sockets and field-accessible connections for in-field tweaking and diagnostics.

Harsh-environment duty

Operates in harsh environments at shallow to ultra-deep water depths, or set up on shore.

Motion & live-cable options

Optional gimbal for vessel-motion compensation and modular slip-ring options for live-cable storage.

Compact footprint

A lighter alternative to large-diameter carousels, with lower mass per ton stored.

Engineering & Build

From FEA to fabrication

FEA structural optimisation of the radial shell was run in-house, and the structure was fabricated and finish-painted at the Dimension yard. Scope covers engineering, fabrication, FAT and offshore commissioning of the full spread.
