Vertical turnichet Atlas series Buffalo model BFI 103 is a solution of full-height access control, designed for environments where security, sustainability and strict control of the flow of people are essential. We're talking about a turnstiles with only one passing passageway, rotor with 3 axes, made entirely from stainless steel, designed for intensive use, 24/7, under the harshest conditions.
This is not an "office" product. It's an equipment Industrial, designed for large construction sites, factories, refineries, power plants, ports, airports, logistics bases or high-risk targets. Exactly the kind of product companies choose fail to allow security.
What is the Atlas Buffalo BFI 103 vertical turnstiles and why it matters
Vertical turnstiles Atlas Buffalo BFI 103 is part of the range full height turnstiles, i.e. full height turnstiles, which removes the unauthorized passage completely, side jumps or forces.
Unlike tripod turnstiles or speed doors, BFI 103:
- creates a total physical barrier
- allows one person per rotation
- operate reliably in outdoor, rain, dust, ice cream
- can be integrated with any access control system
It is the type of product that imposes the rulesNot just suggesting them.
Stainless steel construction – the difference between ‘okay' and ‘indestructible'
Model BFI 103 is built entirely from industrial quality stainless steel, which means:
- high resistance to Corrosion
- excellent behaviour in salty, industrial or polluted mediums
- long life without visible degradation
- minimum maintenance
For projects where the turnstiles has been out for years, stainless steel is not a moftYou need it.
3-axis rotor – actual control of the passage
Rotor with 3 arms (3 axes) is one of the most balanced systems for:
- Precise flow control
- good ergonomics for users
- reduction of blockages
- prevention of attempts to force
Each rotation is clearly delimitedand the internal mechanism is designed for millions of cycles.
One passage – security without any ambiguity
Configuration with 1 passage makes BFI 103 an ideal choice for:
- strictly controlled access points
- clear defined entries/exit
- integration with industrial fences and gates
- areas where each passage must logged and verified
There is no "columning, no "squeezing.
Where the vertical turnstiles BFI 103 is used
Large construction sites and critical infrastructure
Control of workers, subcontractors and visitors becomes simple, clear and secure.
Industrial plants and zones
Separation of production areas, access only for authorized personnel.
Ports, airports, logistics centres
Managing the flow of people into restricted access areas.
Government and military institutions
High level of security, no compromises.
Photovoltaic parks, wind farms, utilities
Protection against unauthorised access and vandalism.
How it works, on everyone's understanding
- The user is authenticated (card, code, biometric, remote control, etc.)
- Access control system validates rights
- Turniquette unlock the mechanism
- Only one rotation is allowed
- After passing, the turnstiles is Automatically unlock
Simple, robust, predictable.
Integration with access control systems
Turniquette Atlas Buffalo BFI 103 is compatible with:
- RFID reader
- MIFARE / HID cards
- biometric readers
- PIN codes
- ERP/pointing systems
- centralized access control
It's thought that a element of a systemNot like an isolated product.

Why Buffalo Series Is Different
It would be Buffalo from Atlas is thought for Mechanical abuseNot for fancy offices. Everything is oversized:
- bearings
- axis
- supporting structures
- internal mechanisms
It's a range created for areas where other turnstiles give way.
