Abstract
A turret is mounted on an armored vehicle in rotating and pivotal fashion to allow the turret to be pivoted eccentrically from its operative position laterally out of the way without disturbing rotational engagement to expose an access hatch on the vehicle body for maintenance inside the vehicle. Removal of the turret from the vehicle is not required. After maintenance, the turret can be swung back to its original operative position for rotation on the vehicle. An operator's cage is attached to the turret and is specially configured such that the turret can be swung out of the way a sufficient amount without the cage hitting interior vehicle components.
