Turntable that will be around heavy foot steps?

Looking for suggestions for turntables that would be used in a show/demo environment where there would be heavy foot steps/footfall about 3-6 feet from the turntable. Think Headfi vendor exhibition tables if you've been to a Canjam or the like.

Using it with an isolation platform is also an option. Lets say under $10k for used including the tonearm.

Thanks very much for all the advice guys!

I was asking true to the conditions outlined in the first post, so no drilling wall shelves at a convention :)

My Bang and Olufsen was very good in that regard. And it was relatively cheap when I bought it. You could rap on the base like you were knocking on a door.

The new Technics SL1200G is excellent for footfalls.  I can jump directly in front of the TT and no skipping.  I am not a liteweight at 250 pounds. My turntable is in my100 year old house with wood floors.

SOTA. Footfalls are not a problem, my 200 lb teenage son walks like a T-Rex too. The TT is on the second floor of a wood frame house where you can feel the floor oscillate when the  dog walks across it, and the SOTA is impervious.
You can literally rap your knuckles on the plinth while a record is playing and not hear it through the speakers.
