What is a tripod turnstile? A tripod turnstile is a pedestrian access-control device with three rotating arms. It helps manage individual entry and exit at controlled entrances and can be integrated with a compatible access-control system.
What is the difference between the TT301, TT303 and TT-PAY? The TT301 offers modular construction, with a choice of cabinet configurations and finishes. The TT303 has a compact cabinet for installations where space is limited. The TT-PAY is designed for indoor applications where pedestrian entry is linked to a payment process.
Can tripod turnstiles integrate with an existing access-control system? Yes. The TT301 and TT303 are compatible with most third-party access-control systems, subject to interface requirements. Contact Evolve to confirm compatibility with your chosen equipment. For the TT-PAY, payment-system compatibility should be confirmed for the intended application.
How many people can pass through a tripod turnstile per minute? The TT301 and TT303 have an approximate throughput of 15–25 people per minute. Actual throughput depends on access-control response time and user behaviour. Performance may vary by model and application.
Can tripod turnstiles be installed outdoors? The TT301 and TT303 are suitable for indoor and outdoor installation, subject to site conditions. The TT-PAY is intended for indoor installation only.
What happens during a power failure or emergency? The TT301 and TT303 feature emergency drop-arm operation. The arms drop during a power failure or when the emergency input is activated, allowing the passage to be cleared. The mechanism resets when power is restored or the emergency condition clears. Refer to the relevant product documentation for model-specific details.
Are tripod turnstiles suitable for wheelchair users? A standard tripod turnstile does not provide a wheelchair-accessible passage. Where wheelchair access, reduced-mobility access or a wider passage is required, provide a suitable alternative route alongside the turnstile. The Evolve SG100 swing gate may be suitable, depending on the installation requirements.
How do I choose the right tripod turnstile? Consider the available installation space, cabinet and finish options, access-control requirements, payment functionality and whether the unit will be installed indoors or outdoors. Compare the TT301, TT303 and TT-PAY on this page, or contact Evolve for help selecting a suitable solution.
Tripod Turnstiles vs Speed Lanes?
* Performance and security characteristics vary by model, configuration, access-control system and site requirements.
Tripod turnstiles and speed lanes provide different approaches to pedestrian access control. The right solution depends on expected pedestrian flow, security requirements, accessibility, available space, user characteristics and the installation environment.
Tripod turnstiles provide a defined passage controlled by rotating arms, while speed lanes use a different gate arrangement. The most suitable option depends on the requirements of the site and the configuration selected.
For help comparing the options, contact Evolve Security Products to discuss your entrance layout and access-control requirements.
