Paddle Leaf Speed Gates For Paid Public Toilet Access Systems.
Entrance Control, Payment and Revenue Collection.
A paid toilet payment system for a public toilet application needs to work alongside entrance-control equipment to provide reliable access, revenue collection, accessibility and effective pedestrian flow.
Working in partnership with Willings Services Limited, Evolve can provide paid public toilet entrance-control solutions using tripod turnstiles or paddle gates, depending on the requirements of the site.
Paddle Gate or Tripod Turnstile?
The ES150 paddle leaf speed gate offers numerous benefits, particularly for projects requiring paid access solutions and compliance with the Public Lavatories (Turnstiles) Act 1963. Its design ensures accessible entry while efficiently managing foot traffic.
Motorised TT tripod turnstiles provide a lower-cost solution. Where the Public Lavatories (Turnstiles) Act 1963 applies, a paddle leaf speed gate such as the ES150 may be more appropriate.
Public Lavatories (Turnstiles) Act 1963.
For qualifying local-authority public toilet applications, the Public Lavatories (Turnstiles) Act 1963 places restrictions on the use of tripod turnstiles.
Where the Act applies, the ES150 paddle leaf speed gate stands out as the more suitable choice, combining functionality with regulatory adherence, subject to the specific requirements of the project.
