Introduction
The tripod turnstile is amongst the most reliable, effective, and robust solutions for managing pedestrian access control. From office and construction site turnstiles to those deployed at stadiums and public transport turnstiles, a good tripod turnstile is capable of managing pedestrian flow, preventing unauthorized access, and can be integrated with other access systems.

What Defines a Quality Tripod Turnstile Manufacturer?
Before focusing on manufacturers, it is useful to provide a wider context of the barriers to pedestrian access control systems.
- Tripod turnstiles vs swing gates – Tripod turnstiles take up less space and consume less power. Their rotating arms also provide superior anti-tailgating. Swing gates, however, are more accommodating to wheelchair access.
- Tripod Turnstiles and Speed Gates - Managing crowds of 35 to 50 people per minute is best achieved using Tripod Turnstiles. Turnstiles tend to have much lower maintenance costs. Speed Gates can sustain a greater throughput of 60 pp/min but are more complex and more expensive.
