HDRT offers all the inherent benefits of HepcoMotions PRT2 ring and track system, with the capability to carry much higher loads.

Designed for high load rotary applications – Including cylinder or pipe inspections, scanning, or any application requiring precise, accurate peripheral guidance around a circular object for heavy loads up to 37.5kN for rings and 28kN for tracks.

An alternative to slewing rings – With less preparation, less installation time, and reduced maintenance, HDRT is an excellent alternative to slewing rings.

Efficient – Carriages with Hepco’s V bearings run smoother and need less driving forces than slewing bearings.

Ease of driving – HDRT has an integrated rack and pinion drive, negating the need for additional drive components.

Design freedom for track systems – When ring segments are combined with straight slide sections, many sizes and layouts of track systems are possible, including oval, square, rectangular, S bend, U shape, J shape, and many other shape configurations as required.

Low maintenance – Thanks to HepcoMotion´s V guide technology, the system is low maintenance, robust, hardwearing, and particularly suited to environments where a lot of debris occurs.

Perfect for – large welding applications, as a transfer system for machine tool and automation components, or used to construct turntable solutions.


  • Standard ring sizes 512mm up to 1656mm diameter. For larger sizes, heavy loads refer to our large rings section
  • Optional gears machined directly into the ring with matching pinions up to Mod 4 size as standard for high drive capacity
  • 28kN for tracks and 37.5kN for rings as standard, up to 68kN on demand
  • Corrosion resistant version available
  • Flat tracks with roller bearings available
  • Large carriage platform for easy and secure load location
  • V edges and integrated racks can be either internal, external or both
