ABSTRACT:
A lightweight turntable for use in manipulating printing paper rolls of 1,500 pounds in weight or more is disclosed. The device includes a stationary base plate having one or more circular bearing raceways formed therein. A rotatable upper plate having matching raceways is fitted to the base plate with a plurality of ball bearings positioned in the upper and lower race tracks. The upper plate includes a raised circular bead or an elevated surface to direct the loading of the paper roll from the peripheral edge of the stationary base to provide easy turning of the roll. The device is manually carried and spotted at selected turning locations, as needed, to move a paper roll to a desired location.
