Full height turnstile dimensions and space needed
A single lane full height turnstile needs a floor area of roughly 1.4 to 1.45 m in the direction of travel and 1.3 to 1.5 m across, and stands about 2.2 m high. A dual lane unit is about 2.1 to 2.2 m across for two passages (exact sizes in the table above). On top of the unit itself, plan for:
- Clear approach space on both sides so a queue does not spill onto the road at shift change.
- A separate side gate or door for material, trolleys and wheelchairs, because a full height turnstile cannot pass them.
- A level concrete base with anchor bolts, and conduits for power and data laid before the unit arrives.
- A canopy over open-air units, to protect the readers and keep rain off people waiting.
Connecting to your existing access control system
A full height turnstile is opened by a simple open signal for each direction, so it can work with the ZKTeco or eSSL readers we supply or with the controllers of an access control system already on your site. At sites with a central access control system, such as large campuses and airports, the site’s own readers and door controllers are usually fitted on the turnstile and wired to its open inputs, and the fire alarm release is connected so the rotor turns freely in an emergency. We check the signals and wiring with your system integrator during the site survey.
How a full height turnstile works
A full height turnstile is a floor-to-ceiling gate with a rotating centre post (the rotor) carrying rows of horizontal bars. The rotor turns inside a fixed frame with matching bars, so there is no gap to squeeze through, climb over or crawl under. When a valid card, face, fingerprint or QR code is read, the controller unlocks the rotor for one step, the person walks through, and the rotor locks again. Three-wing rotors turn 120 degrees per passage and four-wing rotors 90 degrees; both let only one person through at a time.
Because it cannot be jumped and works without a guard, a full height turnstile is the usual choice for factory workers’ gates, construction site entries, warehouses, labour colonies, stadium gates and any perimeter entry that is open to the road.
Full height turnstile types we supply
| Single lane | One rotor for entry, exit or both. Suits smaller factories, site offices and secondary gates. |
|---|---|
| Dual lane | Two rotors in one frame, usually one for entry and one for exit. Better for shift changes and saves the cost of a second frame and roof. |
| Bi-directional | Each lane can be set for entry, exit or both, and changed in software, useful when the morning and evening flow are different. |
| With side gate | A full height turnstile cannot pass trolleys, material or wheelchairs, so we plan a separate swing gate or pedestrian door next to it, controlled by the same access system. |
| Mechanical / motorised | Mechanical units are pushed by the user after unlocking. Semi-automatic and motorised units self-centre or assist the rotation, which is smoother at busy gates. |
Double (dual lane) full height turnstile
A double or dual lane full height turnstile has two rotors in one steel frame and one roof. Usually one lane is set for entry and the other for exit, so the outgoing shift does not block the incoming one. Compared with two single units side by side it needs less width, one roof and one base, and costs less than two separate turnstiles. Each lane has its own reader (face, card, fingerprint or QR), and each lane can be bi-directional if your peak flow changes during the day. For gates where hundreds of workers arrive in a few minutes, we often plan two or more dual lane units.
Full height vs half height turnstile
| Full height turnstile | About 2.1 to 2.3 m tall, floor to head height. Cannot be climbed over or crawled under, works unattended and outdoors. Used at boundary walls, factory and construction gates, stadiums and warehouses. |
|---|---|
| Half height (waist height) turnstile | About 1 m tall: tripod turnstiles, swing barriers and flap barriers. Faster and lower cost per lane, but someone determined can jump over, so they suit covered, guarded entries such as office lobbies, canteens and gyms. |
Rule of thumb: if the gate is on the outer boundary and nobody watches it all the time, choose full height; if it is inside a building or always guarded, a half height turnstile is usually enough.
Full height turnstile vs tripod turnstile vs flap barrier
| Full height turnstile | Highest security: cannot be climbed, jumped or crawled. Works outdoors and unattended. Slower than a flap barrier and looks industrial. Best for perimeter and factory gates. |
|---|---|
| Tripod turnstile | Waist height, lower cost per lane, tough. Someone determined can climb over, so it is best at covered or guarded entries such as canteens, gyms and inner worker gates. |
| Flap barrier | Fast and modern for office lobbies with heavy traffic. Needs a covered area and is not meant to stop climbing at an open boundary. |
Many plants in Gurugram and Manesar use all three: a full height turnstile at the open perimeter gate, tripods at the covered workers’ entrance and flap barriers in the admin block. Our flap vs swing vs tripod guide explains the trade-offs in more detail.
What decides the full height turnstile gate price
Two quotations for a “full height turnstile” can be far apart because they are not quoting the same thing. Compare these points line by line:
- Lanes: single or dual lane, and whether a side gate is included.
- Material: SS304 stainless steel (better for open-air gates and the monsoon) or powder-coated mild steel (acceptable under a canopy). Ask for tube size and thickness, not only the finish.
- Drive: mechanical, semi-automatic or motorised, and the quality of the lock and damper.
- Readers and software: RFID card, face, fingerprint or QR, entry-only or entry and exit, and whether attendance or visitor software is part of the scope.
- Roof and site work: canopy, concrete base, anchor bolts, cable conduits and power point. These are often left out of a low quote.
- Safety: fire alarm release, power backup and the fail-safe setting.
- Warranty and AMC: what is covered and how fast an engineer reaches the site.
Our full height turnstile buying guide goes deeper into single vs double lane and drive types. We send an itemised quotation after a site survey so you can see exactly what is included.
Choosing a full height turnstile for a Delhi NCR site
- Count the busiest 15 minutes. At shift change many workers arrive together. If one lane would make a queue on the road, choose a dual lane or two units.
- Plan for heat, dust and rain. Open-air gates need SS304, a canopy over the readers and a raised base so water does not stand. Face readers should be checked for strong sunlight and backlight.
- Handle contract labour properly. Passes for contract and construction workers should stop working on their end date automatically, and gate entries can feed attendance for contractor billing.
- Keep a separate emergency exit. A turnstile is not an evacuation route. Link it to the fire alarm so it releases, and keep a separate exit gate.
- Add a camera. A CCTV camera on each lane lets you match every entry record with video.
What our supply, installation and AMC includes
- Free site survey: gate width, headcount, power, network and where the canopy and side gate will go.
- Civil work guidance: base size, anchor positions and conduits, done by your contractor or arranged by us.
- Supply, mounting, cabling and reader and controller setup, with access control or attendance software.
- Testing of every lane, the fire alarm release and the power-failure behaviour, then guard training and a test report.
- AMC with periodic lubrication, bolt and lock checks, reader cleaning and breakdown support.
