Category Access turnstiles includes a wide range of equipment for pedestrian traffic control from simple mechanical models to automatic turnstiles with advanced electronic integration. These systems allow for monitoring of inputs and outputs, reduce the risk of unauthorized entry and provide an orderly flow into intensive traffic spaces. The turnstiles are ideal for office buildings, schools, gyms, hospitals or shopping centers.
What are access turnstiles
