What are the differences between tripod turnstiles and swing gates?

Pedestrian access control systems are becoming increasingly widespread, and tripod turnstiles and swing gates are easily distinguishable. But what are the differences between them? Let's find out together with the editor from Innovation Connect!

Tripod Turnstiles:

Generally, tripod turnstiles are made of domestically produced standard (304) stainless steel sheet, stamped into shape. They are aesthetically pleasing, rust-proof, durable, and can withstand external damage. The rectangular housing and gate arm form a passageway, allowing for quick control of the gate arm's lowering or retraction in emergencies.

Tripod turnstiles can be divided into fully automatic tripod turnstiles, semi-automatic tripod turnstiles, and mechanical tripod turnstiles.

Their components include: housing, mechanism, drive board, motor, direction indicator, access control unit, and optional counters, etc.

Tripod turnstiles, when combined with smart cards, fingerprint scanners, barcode scanners, and other identification systems, form intelligent access control systems. When combined with computer, access control, attendance, payment management, and ticketing systems, they form comprehensive intelligent access control systems, enabling functions such as access control, attendance tracking, payment processing, ticketing, and flow restriction.

Tripod turnstiles are modern control devices for pedestrian access, used in places where personnel entry and exit need to be controlled, providing an orderly and civilized passage for people and preventing unauthorized entry. Examples include smart communities, exhibition halls, auditoriums, canteens, hotels, museums, stadiums, clubs, scenic spots, construction sites, and docks.

Swing gates:

Swing gates are high-tech products primarily designed for intelligent management of personnel access, and are an upgrade from intelligent tripod turnstiles. They are mainly used in residential communities, schools, and factories for controlling the entry and exit of employees using bicycles, electric bikes, motorcycles, etc.

Swing gates are divided into: Single-core: used for single-channel and multi-channel gates; Dual-core: used for multi-channel gates.

Innovation Technology's brushless swing gates are meticulously crafted, feature-rich, and high-end. The gates are made of stamped stainless steel, boasting a beautiful and durable design that is rust-resistant. They utilize standard electrical interfaces, allowing for easy integration of magnetic card, barcode card, ID card, and IC card readers. By selecting various identification systems and employing reliable security devices, alarms, and directional indicators, the swing gate enables intelligent control and management of the passageway, providing a civilized and orderly passage for personnel. It simultaneously prevents unauthorized access and ensures unobstructed passage in emergencies, facilitating timely evacuation.

Of course, both tripod turnstiles and swing gates have their own advantages and characteristics. The biggest difference lies in their appearance; their functionality is essentially the same. The choice between tripod turnstiles and swing gates depends on the customer's needs and the environment of the installation location. Customers' needs and installation locations differ, so the selected turnstiles will also differ. There is no good or bad distinction between tripod turnstiles and swing gates; it's just a matter of whether they are suitable or not.
