Round full-height turnstile for high-security entrances
The GT-10 physically prevents tailgating with a round acrylic and glass enclosure and a 2310 mm frame height.
30 to 40 persons per minute, hydraulic damper for quiet operation, compatible with any access control system.
A separate accessible entrance is required alongside for wheelchair users.
Description
What the GT-10 is good at
The GT-10 works on the same mechanical principle as a conventional full-height turnstile: the rotor geometry allows only one person through per authorised cycle, and once the rotor has turned 60 degrees in the authorised direction, reverse rotation is mechanically blocked. What differs from steel-rod designs is the enclosure: curved tempered glass and acrylic panels replace open metal arms, giving a more transparent visual impression while maintaining the same physical security level. This makes the GT-10 a practical choice for corporate lobbies, offices and premium facility entrances where the look of a traditional steel-rod turnstile would feel out of place. The 650 mm passage width means a separate accessible entrance is required for wheelchair users, and the gate does not function as a standalone fire-egress route.
Security
The only realistic bypass methods are two people entering the same rotor sector simultaneously, which is visible and impractical, or credential sharing. Mechanical anti-passback means the same credential cannot be used twice in succession without an exit event registered in between. Reverse-direction entry is blocked by the rotor locking mechanism. On fire alarm or power loss the rotor releases for free egress and stays open until conditions are cleared. The gate locks automatically if an open signal is received but no one passes within the configurable timeout.
User experience
The transparent acrylic and glass enclosure makes the GT-10 feel less enclosed than steel-rod alternatives, which reduces the institutional impression at the entrance. The hydraulic damper absorbs the kinetic energy of the rotating arm, keeping operation noticeably quieter than undamped designs. Throughput of 30 to 40 persons per minute is adequate for fitness centre and corporate entrance peak hours. LED indicators show passage status on both sides.
Integration & customisation
Connects to any access control system over dry contact or RS485. Compatible credential types include RFID, QR, face recognition, fingerprint and remote control. Frame available in 304 or 316 stainless steel, or powder coated in any RAL colour. Reader cutouts configurable to fit any credential module. Optional roof, lighting and mounting base available.
Durability & environment
IP54, rated for -20 to +55 degrees Celsius, covering indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. 316 stainless steel available for pool-side or coastal environments. The mechanically simple design with very few moving parts that wear out is the main reason full-height turnstiles reach high cycle counts without significant maintenance.
Service & support
Spare parts stocked locally in each market we operate in. Built-in error codes and a controller display guide fault diagnosis on the first visit. Maintenance agreements and technical support in Finnish, Swedish, English and Spanish available on request.
