Half height turnstiles
Half height turnstiles, also referred to as waist-high turnstiles, are a type of security gate primarily used to control access into certain types of premises. These units are designed with rotating arms that will only allow one person to pass at a time (either entry or exit).
Where Should Half Height Turnstiles be Used?
Ideal for situations where an entry/exit point requires a steady flow of pedestrian footfall whilst ensuring no unauthorised entries, half height turnstiles can provide either one-way or bi-directional pedestrian access, making them versatile for different entrance and access control needs
Half height turnstiles are commonly installed in any of the following: gyms, leisure cent, train stations, office buildings, construction sites, stadiums, and more.
The most prominent reason for their popularity is the balance they offer between both security and convenience. Additionally, they allow for an efficient and smooth flow of pedestrians, customers, and staff passing through them. This makes them ideal for high traffic environments.
Benefits of Half Height Turnstiles Utilisation Of Space
A major benefit of half height turnstiles is that they take up less space compared to other models such as full height turnstiles and speed gates. Making them an ideal solution for areas with limited space. Examples of this would include gyms, offices, and libraries.
Cost Effective
By installing half-height turnstiles on your premises, you have an effective access control solution without the need for manned security therefore reducing business operations costs. Transitioning your security from physically manned to an automated system reduces the cost of labour associated with security checks. This allows businesses to reallocate resources to other areas that may require attention.
Customisability
All our half-height turnstiles can be integrated with third-party access control solutions, such as card readers, fingerprint readers, and facial recognition systems. This allows us to create a system that suits a client’s specific need.
We can even watermark the CCTV picture with the users ID name on the screen, this can be verified straight away. For example, Mr Smith using Mrs Smith’s card or PIN. It’s particularly useful in the 24-hour gym industry, where pin misuse is an issue.
User Friendly
Due to their low standing, half height turnstiles are ideal for specific user situations such as individuals with disabilities, children, or those carrying items such as luggage or bags. This in turn promotes smoother pedestrian flow whilst keeping security high.
These types of units are very intuitive A person’s entry journey is as simple as presenting a valid credential to the unit, access being granted, and then applying a small amount of pressure to the tripod arms to allow transit.
