Speed gates are swing gates typically featuring two horizontally or vertically swinging wings and a sensor system that verifies pedestrian movement within the gate’s passage, allowing for contactless pedestrian flow (unlike turnstiles, for example) through the device.

After their wings swing open, swing gates technically allow more than one person to pass based on a single authorization signal received from an external device (e.g., a card reader or ticket reader).

Swing gates equipped with a passage sensor system can generate an audible alarm if two people are detected passing on a single authorization signal.

Turnstiles are designed to prevent more than one person from passing based on a single authorization signal received from an external device (e.g., a card reader or ticket reader) by narrowing the passage to a section created between the device’s arms.
