I am planing a truck mounted crane and am wondering what I could use as a turntable, or slew? I do not have the gear or skills to machine my own gears.
I was going to use the head off a grinder.

Will it be strong enough?
I was thinking of using a Lazy Susan bearing maybe?. Bicycle gears and chain?
What do other people use for their cranes or excavators?
