A ground-engaging support structure for rotating a vehicle-carrying platform supported thereby such that a vehicle driven onto the platform is rotatable about a rotational axis extending substantially perpendicularly to the ground, the structure including: a base for carrying and rotating the vehicle-carrying platform; and one or more ground-engaging mechanisms adjustably secured to and extending outwardly from the base for facilitating load distribution of the platform and vehicle thereon such that the support structure is operable on uneven or sloped ground.

A fast set-up and very portable turntable, able to rotate objects up to 7500 pounds at varying revolutions per minute. The modified H beam framework creates a low profile turntable with built-in loading and exiting ramp. Heavy duty casters riding on a large plate steel base, provide a smooth, stabile surface for the revolving casters. Proximity switches are used to create a synchronized system, which operate the hydraulic cylinders used for stability. They can also trigger a digital camera every few degrees of rotation, creating a 360 degree virtual reality image. The custom designed trailer carries the turntable on its underside with the use of an inverted four inch drop axle to gain ground clearance. Winches are used to lift the turntable from the ground. Inverted towers with casters at the four corners of the trailer offer protection to the turntable from irregular surfaces or curbs.

The work machine system comprises a tractor unit releasably connectable to interchangeable trailer units by a coupling. When a trailer unit is coupled to the tractor unit a work machine is formed for performing work functions. The tractor unit may not be capable of movement between trailer units when uncoupled, for example because it comprises only one pair of wheels rotating about a single axis and as such would tip over without support. The alignment system comprises a platform for supporting and holding the tractor unit thereon and a platform transport system to move the platform relative to the trailer units. Therefore, alignment for coupling between the tractor and trailer units can be achieved.
