RotorMechanical passage

A rotating turnstile at waist height. Mechanical single-file passage like a tripod, but with a rotor of bars inside a fixed frame — a heavier presence for factory gates and school entrances where the barrier should be seen.

Key Features

Between a tripod and a full height turnstile.

Keyable half height turnstile — waist-height rotor
01

Waist height, one at a time

A rotor of horizontal bars turns inside a fixed frame at waist height, so each rotation admits one person. The barrier is clearly visible and physically firm, without the full enclosure of a floor-to-ceiling turnstile.

Keyable half height turnstile — damped drive
02

Semi-automatic, damped

A semi-automatic drive releases the rotor on authorisation and a hydraulic buffer brings it to rest, so the rotor turns smoothly under light hand pressure and never slams.

Keyable half height turnstile — readers
03

Readers in the cabinet

The cabinet carries a status indicator and a card reader panel. Face recognition and QR readers can be mounted on the lid, as on the KHH1428-B.

Four versions, one frame

Brushed stainless steel, and black, yellow and grey versions of the same frame — chosen to match a factory gate, a school entrance or a public facility.

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; a model without figures has not had them published rather than estimated.

Common Questions

Answers, briefly.

What is a half height turnstile?

A half height turnstile is a waist-height rotating barrier: a rotor of horizontal bars turns inside a fixed frame and admits one person per rotation.

How does it differ from a tripod turnstile?

Both give mechanical single-file passage at waist height. A tripod uses three arms on an open cabinet; a half height turnstile uses a rotor of bars inside a frame, which reads as a heavier and more visible barrier.

How does it differ from a full height turnstile?

A full height turnstile is a floor-to-ceiling rotor that cannot be climbed. A half height turnstile stops at waist height, so it suits supervised entrances where visibility and flow matter more than a climb-proof perimeter.

What credentials can it read?

The cabinet carries a card reader panel, and face recognition or QR readers can be mounted on the lid. The exact reader is chosen per project.

Complete the Lane

A barrier, a reader and a base.

Readers & Controllers

The signal that opens the lane

Barriers are supplied without readers. QR scanners, RFID and NFC readers, controllers and displays are chosen for each lane.

Barrier Pedestals

A base made for the barriers

Where the floor is not suitable for fixing, the barriers stand on a pedestal made to measure, for any type of barrier.

You already have an integrator, an access platform and a programme. We deliver the equipment and the paperwork, and stay out of the way.

  • Barriers, readers and controllers
  • Technical datasheets and dimensioned drawings
  • CE marking and EN 17352 declaration
  • Delivery to site, anywhere in Europe
  • Manufacturer warranty
  • Spare parts held in Europe

02 — Installation & Integration

Integrated with the system you already use

We install, commission and integrate Keyable half height turnstiles with virtually any professional access-control platform capable of exchanging the required commands and credentials. You keep your software; only the entrance changes.

  • Everything in supply, plus:
  • Site survey
  • Installation and mechanical fixing
  • Commissioning
  • Integration with your existing access-control platform
  • Staff handover and documentation
