Low turnstiles are devices whose height does not exceed 110 cm. They are mainly used:

  • indoors, where entrance areas require installations that do not obstruct visibility through the entry/exit zones,
  • in places where full-height security is not required (where supervising personnel can react immediately to incidents, e.g., jumping over devices),
  • in locations where it is technically advisable, e.g., ski lifts, workplaces where people carry hand luggage.
  • in supervised areas where strict control of pedestrian traffic is needed (single person passage based on a single authorization signal from an external access control system).

High turnstiles are devices whose height exceeds 110 cm and usually have a passage height of over 200 cm.

They are mainly used:

  • outdoors, where the passage needs to be enclosed up to the fence height, preventing people from jumping over the device, unlike low turnstiles,
  • in places where full-height security is required (supervising personnel cannot react immediately to incidents, e.g., jumping over low turnstiles),
  • in locations where it is technically advisable, e.g., construction sites, areas with strict control of pedestrian traffic where device supervision can be done via a monitoring system,
  • in supervised areas where strict control of pedestrian traffic is needed (single person passage based on a single authorization signal from an external access control system).
