UKT-115 Motorised Swing Gate

The UKT-115 motorised swing gate is the accessible lane in an entrance line-up. Where a bank of speed gates or tripod turnstiles handles the majority of traffic, a UKT-115 motorised swing gate gives a wider, powered opening for wheelchair users, mobility scooters, pushchairs, luggage, trolleys and deliveries, so nobody has to be let in through a side door.

Providing an accessible route of this kind helps building operators meet their duty to make reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010, and it also keeps the main lanes flowing because slower or wider traffic is taken out of the queue.

The unit is fully automatic and bi-directional, so it opens on a valid credential from either side and closes behind the user. A frameless glass panel in a stainless steel housing keeps sightlines open across a reception area, and the glass is available in more than one panel height depending on the level of deterrence needed. In a fire alarm or power loss condition the emergency release allows the leaf to be pushed clear so the lane can be used as part of the escape route.

A UKT-115 motorised swing gate is compatible with the same credentials as the rest of your entrance: cards, fobs, mobile credentials, QR codes, PIN keypads or biometric readers, all managed through your access control system. It is most often specified next to speed gates in corporate receptions, or alongside tripod turnstiles in leisure centres, gyms and college entrances where presentation matters as much as security.

Throughput is typically in the region of 20 to 40 people per minute, and because the gate is powered it can be held open for a set period where a group needs to pass, or interlocked so that only one person passes per authorisation.
