Parking Barriers & Access Control

Can a turnstile accommodate wheelchair users and people carrying luggage?

Tripod turnstiles are not wheelchair accessible, so installations include a wider accessible lane or gate alongside them; glass barrier turnstiles with sliding panels offer a more accommodating alternative for luggage and mobility needs.

Standard tripod turnstiles are not wheelchair accessible, which is why most installations pair them with a wider swing gate or barrier-free lane alongside the turnstile bank specifically for wheelchair users, luggage trolleys and deliveries. Glass barrier turnstiles with sliding panels are a more accessible option since the opening is wider than a tripod arm.

Building codes generally require at least one accessible route alongside any turnstile installation, and we design the layout with that access lane included from the start rather than as an afterthought.
