When used in conjunction with a facility access control system or another device that can output a dry contact, such as a push button, the tripod turnstile barrier offers bi-directional access control. In controlled passage mode, the half height turnstile unlocks and the motorized arms move a little bit forward to prompt the user after receiving a signal from a valid credential. The motor starts rotating with just a slight touch of the horizontal arm, enabling almost touchless user movement. The barrier turnstile emits a rotation signal at the completion of the rotation to let the access control system know that the passage has been completed. The turnstile entry system then locks again in the home position and waits for the next activation.

The Dimensions

The tripod barrier turnstile gate is a type of rotating steel gate that operates to efficiently control pedestrian movement. It is also commonly known as a pedestrian access control gate, designed to regulate the passage of people at entry and exit points. This type of turnstile barrier gate functions as an automatic security checkpoint at entrances, ensuring controlled and secure access.
The Pedestrian Tripod Turnstile is a compact and reliable access control system. It is designed for efficient entrance control systems in commercial buildings, industrial sector, Govt sector, IT companies and metro.

As a waist high tripod turnstile provides controlled pedestrian movement while preventing unauthorized access and tailgating. This tripod turnstile system is widely used as a pedestrian gate and pedestrian barrier in facilities that require secure yet cost-effective access regulation.

FAQs
What is an automatic tripod barrier turnstile?
An automatic tripod barrier turnstile is a three-arm control gate designed to regulate pedestrian/crowd entry and exit in crowded or secured areas. It consists of a rotating mechanism with three horizontal bars spaced at 120° apart from each other. These bars rotate upon authorisation and allow one person to pass at a time. It is commonly installed in metro stations, office lobbies, stadiums, factories and other high-traffic / crowded areas. Tripod turnstile barrie gate can can operate in manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic modes depending on the requirements. It can be integrated with various control systems, such as RFID cards, biometric readers, QR scanners, or face recognition devices for user authorisation. A key feature of the tripod turnstile is its bidirectional operation, which enables the control of entry and exit for pedestrians through the same unit. It is also equipped with anti-taligating and fail-safe mechanisms. The horizontal bars or arms drop quickly during emergencies, power failures and other incidents to ensure safety.
How does a tripod barrier turnstile work?
Its tripods are usually at lock position during normal operation. Upon valid signal, the tripod arm mechanism will unlock. The arm will relock after each complete arm rotation or time-out preset by the controller. Additional feature on selected model : Tripod arm will unlock and drop allowing access in the event of a power failure. The rotating arm adaptor comes with powder coated magenta color suited for outdoor installation and other color option upon request.
What are the advantages of using an automatic tripod barrier turnstile?
1. The tripod turnstile barrier can effectively manage only one person at a time thanks to its comparatively high anti-tailgating design.
2. To provide cost-effective operation, a lane is formed by a single tripod turnstile gate.
3. The tripod turnstile gate is very compatible with a variety of verification tools, security systems, etc.
4. The automatic gate turnstile is simple to use due to its widespread use and straightforward design.
Can tripod barrier turnstile allow the movement of work trolleys and heavy material?
Tripod barrier automatic turnstile is not designed to allow the movement of work trolleys and heavy material, but they can be useful for the movement of smaller items such as suitcases and carry bags
How much does a tripod barrier turnstile cost?
The tripod barrier turnstile price can vary based on factors such as the features, materials used, and customization options. In general, the tripod turnstile gate price ranges from moderate to premium, depending on the type of integrated access control systems and any additional security enhancements. The more advanced the system, the higher the price, especially if it includes biometric integration, RFID compatibility, or specialized finishes for durability and aesthetic appeal.
What is motorized tripod barrier turnstile?
Motorized tripod tripod turnstile is an advanced access control solutions designed for secure entry management in places like offices, airports, and public buildings. It features three rotating arms powered by a motor, allowing for smooth and controlled pedestrian flow. They are often used as office turnstiles, providing a reliable way to manage access in high-traffic environments.
