Swing Gate Turnstile The high strength paddle gate rotates on a fixed axis to allow controlled entry and egress. This option allows the widest controlled turnstile walkway, with a passage width between 550mm-1000mm. By shape, swing gate turnstiles can be divided into bridge type, vertical type and cylinder type. Vertical and cylinder types required reduced space, are easy to install, but have a short passage length offering limited pedestrian detecting features. Bridge type swing gate turnstiles offer extended passage length, with stronger pedestrian detecting features and higher safety levels. Compared to tripod turnstiles, bridge types include pedestrian detecting features monitoring pedestrians more effectively and with improved anti tailgating features. They are also suitable when wide passage widths are required such as wheelchair access or pedestrians with large luggage or bicycles.
