Single Turnstile Unit

This single turnstile unit controls both entry and exit through a single compact 10ft x 8ft steel cabin, making it the right fit for small and medium construction sites, sporting events, and facilities where a double lane isn’t required. The turnstile handles inbound and outbound pedestrian flow in a single unit without a second gate. Furthermore, it connects to most standard card reader and biometric access control systems for logged entry and exit records. In addition, the unit integrates directly with site hoarding and perimeter fencing to close off gaps in the site boundary.

Single Turnstile Unit vs Double Turnstile — Which One Do You Need

A single turnstile unit suits sites where pedestrian traffic moves through one controlled access point at a manageable rate. Shift changes on small to medium construction sites, factory entry points, and single-gate sporting venues all fall within this range. The single lane handles both entry and exit directions without a second physical lane — one person passes through at a time in either direction. As a result, it covers the access control requirement for most sites without the footprint or cost of a double unit.

For larger sites with high-volume simultaneous shift changes — major infrastructure projects, airports, and venues with thousands of daily attendees — the double turnstile handles both lanes concurrently without queuing. Therefore, if your site clears hundreds of workers at a single shift change, the double unit is the right call. Contact us to discuss which configuration suits your site traffic volume.
