revolvable

Able to turn

Revolvable means capable of being revolved—turned around a central point or axis.

The word appears mainly in technical contexts describing machinery or mechanisms: a revolvable turret, a revolvable platform.

It's a straightforward derivative of revolve, less common than rotating or rotatable but occasionally useful for emphasizing the capacity rather than the action.
