Im on my schools stage and light crew and our set builder came up with a rotating set for our 2010 musical "Bye Bye Birdie". its quite simple and can move lots of weight including people. The part that rotates has about 4 or 5 rows of castors under it, the frame is 2x4s with the surface covered with partical board. The entire set is rotated by a big electric motor set on the inside edge of the circle and that motor turns a 8" dia. pnuematic wheel. The last time we used it (Harvey) it took 1 minute and 46 seconds to do one full turn.

It also leaves big grooves in the floor, and u can only rotate the set in one direction.
