What Makes Tripod Turnstiles Ideal for Space-Limited Environments?
Tight entrances leave little room for big gates. Tripod turnstiles solve that problem easily because they need only a small footprint and fit almost anywhere.
Compact Footprint for Tight Entrances
Most models measure less than 280 mm wide. You can place them in narrow corridors or beside existing doors without blocking the path.
Easy Installation Without Major Renovations
A few bolts and a power cable are all you need. No floor cutting or heavy building work is required.
TigerWong Compact Models for Seamless Fit
The Tripod Turnstile Gate TGW-TT017 offers a clean column design that fits perfectly in lobbies and small gates while keeping strong SUS304 stainless steel construction.
How Do Tripod Turnstiles Ensure One-Person Entry Control?
Unauthorized people sometimes try to follow right behind a valid user. Tripod turnstiles stop that behaviour instantly with their three-arm design.
Anti-Tailgating Mechanisms to Prevent Unauthorized Follow-Through
The arms lock firmly after each valid pass. Only one person can go through at a time.
Adjustable Arm Length for Pedestrian Safety
You can set the drop-arm force to a safe level so nobody gets hurt if the arm closes too fast.
TigerWong Secure Design with Built-In Sensors
The Turnstile Gate TGW-TT030 adds extra infrared sensors that detect tailgating and sound an alarm immediately.
Why Are Tripod Turnstiles Cost-Effective for Budget-Conscious Projects?
Money matters on every job. Tripod turnstiles give you solid security without the high price of full-height or optical gates.
Lower Upfront Costs Compared to Flap or Swing Gates
You often pay half the price of a flap barrier yet still get reliable daily control.
Minimal Maintenance Over 5 Million Cycles
Simple solenoid locking and strong stainless steel mean almost no parts need replacement for years.
TigerWong Affordable Turnstile Gate with Long-Term Value
The TT032 Turnstile Gate delivers more than 5 million smooth operations and comes with a full one-year warranty at a very friendly price.
Can Tripod Turnstiles Handle High Daily Traffic Volumes?
Busy places see hundreds or thousands of people every day. Tripod turnstiles keep the flow moving without long queues.
Throughput Up to 35 Persons per Minute
Fast solenoid action and quick card reading let up to 35 people pass each minute.
Durable SUS304 Construction for Heavy Use
Thick 1.5 mm stainless steel and strong internal parts handle constant use without bending or breaking.
TigerWong High-Capacity Solutions for Gyms and Offices
All TigerWong tripod models support fingerprint, face, card, and QR code entry so large offices and gyms stay smooth even at peak hours.
How Do Tripod Turnstiles Integrate with Access Systems?
You already have cards or biometrics in place. Tripod turnstiles connect quickly to almost any system.
Support for Multiple Interfaces Like RS485 and Wiegand
USB, RS485, RJ45, and Wiegand ports are standard. Connection takes only minutes.
Compatibility with Cards, Biometrics, and QR Codes
You can use IC/ID cards, fingerprints, face recognition, or phone QR codes without extra hardware.
TigerWong Seamless Integration in All Models
Every TigerWong tripod turnstile works with third-party software and controllers right out of the box.
What Role Do Tripod Turnstiles Play in Emergency Situations?
Safety rules demand free and fast exit when alarms sound or power fails. Tripod turnstiles meet every major fire code worldwide while keeping daily costs low.
Fail-Safe Arm Drop During Power Outages
Power goes out. Within one second, the solenoid releases and the three arms drop flat to the ground. No battery backup is needed. People walk straight through without pushing or panic.
Quick Manual Release for Evacuations
Staff carry a simple mechanical key. One turn unlocks the entire lane permanently until reset. Fire marshals love this feature because it works even if electronics fail completely.

- Automatic arm drop on power loss (no UPS required)

A: Yes. Compared to flap barriers or swing gates, you often pay only half the price while still getting strong daily access control that lasts for years.
Q2: Can tripod turnstiles stop tailgating completely?
A: The classic three-arm layout combined with extra infrared sensors makes sure only one person passes for each valid card, fingerprint, or QR code. Tailgating becomes almost impossible.
Q3: How many people can pass per minute?
A: Up to 35 people per minute in each lane when you use fast card readers, face recognition, or fingerprint scanners. Long queues disappear even during rush hours.
