Security measures such as outdoor turnstiles can help to safeguard event goers and help to manage your event’s entry and exit points.

Outdoor turnstiles such as our IP65-rated gate turnstiles combine durability, and functionality and are a safe and efficient addition to any outdoor event.

Why Are Outdoor Turnstiles Essential For Events?

Arranging an outdoor event such as a music festival, sporting event, exhibition etc, requires a lot of planning and preparation to ensure smooth operation and a positive experience for your event goers.

To help ensure your event runs smoothly outdoor turnstiles are a crucial addition to ensure only those with the right permissions can enter and exit the event. They can help to prevent bottlenecks and maintain an organised flow of attendees whilst withstanding varying weather conditions.

Outdoor turnstiles can help to ensure that you are meeting all necessary legal requirements and regulations concerning the following:

• Health and Safety Regulations
• Accessibility Requirements under the Equality Act 2010
• Fire Safety Compliance
• Crowd Management

Why Waterproof Turnstiles Are Crucial for Outdoor Events

Waterproof outdoor turnstiles are essential for outdoor events to ensure uninterrupted functionality, especially given the unpredictability of weather in the UK.

Without waterproofing, outdoor turnstiles can suffer from water damage, causing malfunctions or complete system failures during critical times.

If turnstiles aren’t waterproof, this can cause electrical short circuits, rusting, and compromised performance. This can result in delays in permitting safe entrance for attendees and potential security breaches.

It can also result in a complete lack of crowd management meaning your event could become dangerously overcrowded. Not only will this be a health and safety breach, but it could lead to serious risks for attendees such as overcrowding injuries, panic-induced accidents, and difficulty in evacuation procedures putting lives at risk.

These issues not only disrupt the event experience but also pose safety risks and potential legal liabilities for event organisers.

Our IP65-Rated speed gates are the ideal choice for events. They offer complete durability and cutting-edge design making them an excellent and cost-effective solution for high-attendance outdoor events.

How Outdoor Turnstiles Can Help Manage Crowd Control

One of the key benefits of outdoor turnstiles is their ability to streamline crowd control.

Where events are expecting large numbers of attendees, entry can quickly become chaotic and dangerous where adequate crowd control measures are not in place. Not only can this result in accident or injury to attendees, but as event planners you could find yourself in breach of many regulations which could prove costly both financially and in terms of reputation.

Turnstiles can help to prevent such issues by providing a structured entry system that ensures efficient access, security and accurate tracking.

In particular, outdoor turnstiles such as our IP65-rated speed gates can handle high traffic without compromising performance. They are also durable and can withstand all types of weather conditions ensuring a smoother, safe event experience for both organisers and attendees.
