Full Height Turnstile Introduction
Full body Height Turnstile is also called rotating turnstile. It is developed from tripod turnstile and draws on the characteristics of revolving door (the biggest difference is that the barrier is not a glass door, but a metal fence). According to the height of the barrier, it is divided into Full Height Turnstile (also called full body turnstile or full high turnstile) and half height turnstile (half high turnstile).
History of Full Height Turnstile
China first applied full body Rotating Turnstile in subway projects during the 1980s. Rotating Turnstile is the main equipment of “automatic ticket gate” in “automatic ticket vending and checking system AFC”, and it is also the earliest and most widely understood Rotating Turnstile by Chinese people. In the late 1990s, Rotating Turnstile gradually appeared in ordinary civilian and commercial occasions, including office buildings, shopping malls, supermarkets, scenic spots and even high-end residential areas.
It should be pointed out that Rotating Turnstile and ticket gate are not exactly the same concept. Ticket gates include automatic ticket gates and portable ticket gates. Automatic ticket gates are a specific application of Rotating Turnstile combined with ticketing systems. Rotating Turnstile has a wider scope. As long as it is used to manage the flow of people in and out and can meet the requirements of only one person passing at a time, it can be regarded as a broad Rotating Turnstile.
Full high Turnstile structure
Full body Turnstile is a high-height access gate, and its structure is mainly composed of turnstile, motor drive system, control system and safety system. The characteristic of Full Height Turnstile is that it can completely close the passage area to ensure that only one person passes through, providing higher security.
The turnstile of Full Height Turnstile is usually made of stainless steel, which has high durability and corrosion resistance. The turnstile is opened and closed by the motor drive system, and the control system controls the operation and access rights of the turnstile. The safety system includes infrared sensors and anti-pinch functions to ensure safety during the passage process.
Full high Turnstile Application
Full body Turnstile is suitable for places with high requirements for passage safety, such as high-security industrial areas, military bases, prisons, nuclear power plants, etc. Since Full Height Turnstile can completely close the passage area and prevent multiple people from passing at the same time, it can effectively control the entry and exit of personnel and provide higher security.
In addition, Full Height Turnstile is also suitable for places that require personnel identity authentication and visitor management, such as enterprises, institutions, government agencies, large event venues, etc. Through the control system, Full body Turnstile can be linked with the identity authentication system, access control system, etc. to achieve precise control and recording of personnel passage.
In short, Full Height Turnstile is a highly closed and secure access gate. It is suitable for places with high requirements for access security and can provide precise personnel control and identity authentication functions. Through the application of Full Height Turnstile, the security and management efficiency of the venue can be effectively improved.



Working principle of Full Height Turnstile
01
Power on:
First, turn on the power of Full body Turnstile, and the system will enter the working state after 3 seconds.
02
Card reading verification:
When a valid card is recognized by the card reader, the buzzer will emit a pleasant sound to prompt the pedestrian that the card reading is successful. The system will judge and process the information in the card, and send a signal to the main control board that the application has been passed.
03
Main control processing:
After the main control board receives the signal from the card reader, it will send an effective control signal to the motor after comprehensive processing to make the motor run. The limit switch controls the rotation angle of the motor, and the gate opens (in the normally open mode, the motor does not move), allowing pedestrians to pass.
The features and functions of Full Height Turnstile include:
Anti-tailgating design:
Full body Turnstile adopts a mechanical anti-tailgating design to effectively control the passage of one person at a time and prevent tailgating.
Prevent climbing and drilling:
Its exterior structure forms a dynamic closed structure to prevent pedestrians from climbing and drilling and illegal intrusion.
Anti-reverse passage:
When a pedestrian enters the passage from the direction of an illegal signal and pushes the gate bar, the gate bar in that direction will be locked and passage will be refused.
Unmanned:
Under triple defense (anti-tailgating, anti-climbing and drilling, anti-reverse passage), Full Height Turnstile can be unmanned and has a high security level.
Full Height Turnstile classification and application scenarios include:
Divided by the number of channels:
Single-door, double-door, and three-door Full Height Turnstiles are selected according to the width and flow of the entrance and exit channels.
Divided by control mode:
Fully automatic and semi-automatic Full Height Turnstile, select according to specific needs.
Divided by user object:
Full Height Turnstile for pedestrians and Full Height Turnstile for people and vehicles, suitable for different application scenarios.
Divided by turning rod angle:
120° and 90° Full Height Turnstile, select different turning rod angles according to actual needs.
Identification methods of Revolving Turnstile
Full Height Turnstile’s identification methods mainly include face recognition, ID card recognition, fingerprint recognition, QR code recognition, iris recognition and palm vein recognition. These identification methods together ensure the efficient and safe operation of Full Height Turnstile.
Full body Turnstile can automatically identify identity information, respond quickly and control access by using these advanced identification technologies.

Face recognition technology can accurately identify the facial features of each person passing through
ID card recognition verifies identity by scanning the information on the ID card
Fingerprint recognition uses each person’s unique fingerprint pattern for identity verification
QR code recognition confirms identity by scanning the information in the QR code
Iris recognition uses the unique texture of the iris for high-precision recognition
Palm vein recognition ensures the uniqueness of identity by scanning the vein pattern of the palm
rotating Turnstile Control Modes
Full Height Turnstile control methods mainly include fully automatic control and semi-automatic control.
Full Height Turnstile with fully automatic control controls the rotation of the gate bar through a motor to achieve automatic passage. This control method is usually used in indoor environments and has high passage efficiency and intelligence. Semi-automatic Full Height Turnstile controls the lifting and lowering of the gate bar through an electromagnet and requires manual operation. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments and has high flexibility and adaptability.
In addition, the control method of Full body Turnstile can also be selected and adjusted according to specific needs. For example, one-way or two-way control of passage can be achieved through an external switch button or remote control to meet the needs of different scenarios.
