Half Height Turnstiles

4Models
WaistBarrier height
RotorMechanical passage

A rotating turnstile at waist height. Mechanical single-file passage like a tripod, but with a solid rotor rather than three arms — a heavier presence for factory gates and school entrances where the barrier should be seen.

The Range

4 models in the half height turnstile family.

Shared electronics, readers and control across the family. What changes is the housing, the finish and the setting each one is built for. Technical figures as published by the manufacturer, March 2026; a model without figures has not had them published rather than estimated.

SL-05 · DATA CENTRE / 16:10 landscape Architectural photograph of a controlled entrance to a data centre. Two sliding barriers with tall glass panels stand in a narrow, austere corridor of pale precast concrete, flanked closely by walls so that no swinging wing could ever fit. Cool white linear lighting runs overhead; the floor is dark epoxy with a soft sheen. A reader panel at chest height glows soft green. Through the glass panels a second security door is visible further along, out of focus. No people. Camera at eye level, straight-on composition down the corridor, 35mm lens perspective, cold neutral light with clean shadows. Restrained, secure, technical, quiet. No text, no logos, no signage.
Critical Infrastructure

Data Centre Corridor

A tall barrier in a corridor with no room either side — and a lane that clears completely on evacuation.

SL-06 · RESIDENTIAL TOWER / 16:10 landscape Architectural interior photograph of the resident entrance to a luxury apartment tower in the evening. A single sliding barrier lane in brushed steel with tall glass panels sits between a marble-clad lobby and a lift hall beyond; warm concealed lighting washes the stone, a large abstract artwork hangs softly out of focus, a concierge desk stands empty and dark to one side. A resident passes through presenting a phone to a reader that glows soft green, seen from a three-quarter rear angle with gentle motion blur. Wide shot with generous headroom, camera at eye level, 35mm lens perspective, shallow depth of field. Warm, hushed, expensive, residential rather than corporate. No text, no logos, no signage, no faces toward camera.
Residential

Residential Tower

Discreet, tall and quiet in a lobby where the barrier has to read as architecture, not as security.

Common Questions

Answers, briefly.

What is a sliding barrier?

A sliding barrier is a pedestrian gate whose tall glass panel travels sideways into the housing rather than swinging. It combines the height of a secure barrier with the zero clearance of a retracting one.

When should I choose a sliding barrier over a swing barrier?

Choose sliding when the lane is narrow, when walls or columns leave no room for a swing arc, or when you need a taller physical obstacle than a flap wing provides.

How tall is the barrier panel?

Approximately 1150 mm, standing well above waist height, which makes stepping over impractical rather than merely discouraged.

Do sliding barriers open on power loss?

Yes. The panels withdraw fully into their housings and remain withdrawn, leaving the lane completely unobstructed as EN 17352 requires on escape routes.
