Problem: to be able remove a 150kg Turntable in and out of a wooden alcove. The alcove floor is 6cm higher than the room floor; the alcove is 72cm deep and 60cm wide.
Potential solution: To put the TT on a platform supported by runners than are fully retracted when the TT is inside the alcove; and fully extended when outside.
Are there runners with minimal vertical deflection that are suited for this application?
Many thanks for any advice

No. Don't Do It.Is gaining access to the sides and rear of the turntable your objective? If so, my advice would be to simply move that turntable out of that alcove once and for all.
Find a location that allows for open access, and leave it there. The more you move that unit around, the greater the chances are of causing some kind of permanent damage - either to yourself or to the turntable.

The only problem with this is that it could possibly be harmful to the bearing, shaft, or thrust plate over time from sudden pulling, pushing, and sudden stopping of the turntable IF the platter is very heavy.
Absolutely.
Search for "heavy duty drawer slides" and you will find dozens of 500lb (200+ kilo) slides prefectly suited for your application. They cost about 70-80 dollars a pair.
Agree with Manny, yes they are available. A friend of mine works on cars, he opened a drawer and it had two transmissions in it! And the drawer had a nice smooth easy glide to it - though it took a little force to get it to start moving :)
Why are you making this so complicated? My 200-year-old dining room table, which is solid walnut and opens to 101 inches, is on four Shepard-brand casters, and rolls around like it weighs no more than my Yorkshire Terrier.
I have carpet in one room and ceramic tile in the other.
Maybe but try sliding that table in and out of a small space without knocking it around on the sides. I don't think that would be too good for a turntable. Even (or maybe especially) one that weighs more than the USS Nimitz.
