Zento Space-Saving Design Wall-mounted Tripod Turnstile
A wall-mounted tripod turnstile is a type of access control
turnstile gate that uses three rotating arms, similar to a
traditional tripod turnstile, but is designed to be mounted
directly onto a vertical surface (like a wall or pillar) rather
than having a full floor-standing base
A wall-mounted tripod turnstile feature:
Space-Saving Design: This is the primary advantage. By eliminating the need for a large
floor-standing chassis, wall-mounted turnstiles are ideal for
narrow passageways, small lobbies, or areas where floor space is
limited and needs to remain unobstructed.
Tripod Mechanism: Like all tripod turnstiles, it has three arms (usually made of
stainless steel) that rotate 120 degrees at a time. This design
allows only one person to pass through at a time, preventing
"tailgating" (unauthorized people following an authorized person
closely).
Integration with Access Control Systems: Wall-mounted tripod turnstiles are typically integrated with
various access control systems. This means they can be unlocked and
allow passage upon verification from:
#Card readers (RFID, smart cards)
#Biometric systems (fingerprint, facial recognition)
#Barcode or QR code scanners
#Remote control or push buttons
Bi-directional Passage: Most models can be configured to allow passage in one or both
directions, depending on the needs of the location.
Emergency Features: Many modern turnstiles include "panic" or
"drop-arm" functions. In an emergency (like a fire alarm or power
outage), the arms will automatically drop, providing unimpeded
egress for quick evacuation.
Durable Construction: They are usually made from robust materials like stainless steel
(often AISI 304 or 316 for outdoor or high-humidity environments)
to ensure long-lasting performance in various indoor and outdoor
conditions.
Visual Indicators: LED lights often indicate whether passage is authorized (e.g.,
green for go, red for stop).
Wall-mounted tripod turnstiles are suitable for a wide range of
controlled access environments, including:
# Corporate Offices and Business Centers: For employee and visitor
access control.
# Gyms, Fitness Centers, and Swimming Pools: To manage member
entry.
# Factories and Industrial Facilities: For staff and visitor
management in secure areas.
# Public Transport Hubs (Bus/Train Stations): For ticketed
entry/exit.
# Stadiums, Amusement Parks, and Event Venues: To manage crowds and
ensure only ticket holders enter.
# Schools and Universities: To control access to campus facilities.
# Any location with limited floor space where secure,
one-person-at-a-time access is needed.
Wall-mount Tripod Turnstile Benefits:
#Space-saving: Maximizes valuable floor space.
#Cost-effective: Generally more economical than full-height
turnstiles.
#Efficient Flow: Manages pedestrian traffic efficiently, especially
in high-traffic areas, allowing for a steady flow of authorized
individuals.
#Enhanced Security: Provides a physical barrier to prevent
unauthorized entry and "tailgating."
#Integration Flexibility: Compatible with various access control
and identification technologies.
#Durable and Low Maintenance: Built for longevity and reliable
operation.
#Aesthetic Appeal: Modern designs can blend well with various
architectural styles.
