A long pin or two vertically seperated hinges will work much better than a
horizontal turntable.

A hinge is often preferable in applications requiring a rotation of less

The strenght of the hinge on a JCB backhoe is demonstarted when one JCB backhoe
lifts itself into the air with it's arm and another JCB then drives
underneath it.
