Abstract:
1. A rotatable equipment support on a hard surface for rotating one or more equipment items with a known footprint comprising: a. a frame with a top side, a bottom side, a center of rotation, and a periphery with a first side and a second side, a first end and a second end, the periphery arranged in a shape providing an area larger than the equipment item footprint; b. an equipment support surface with an exterior side and a interior side, the support surface interior side connected to the frame, the support surface covering the frame periphery; c. a surface contact plate with a top side and a bottom side and a center of rotation, a rotation shaft connected to the contact plate center of rotation, the rotation shaft rotatively connected to the frame and arranged with the contact plate center of rotation at the frame center of rotation, the contact plate arranged such that the contact plate bottom surface contacts the hard surface; d. a multiplicity of cylindrical rollers with a roller outer surface and a roller axis, the rollers supportively and rotatively connected to the frame and arranged such that the roller outer surface contacts the hard surface, and the roller axis oriented toward the surface contact plate center of rotation; e. attachment device openings configured for attachment devices for connecting the surface contact plate to the hard surface; and f. a drive mechanism arranged to rotate the frame around the surface contact plate center of rotation, wherein an equipment item supported on the equipment support surface is rotated to a desired position by applying a force to the frame periphery.
