Frequently Asked Questions
What is a portable turnstile?
A portable turnstile is a freestanding, self-contained 3-arm waist-high turnstile that requires no permanent installation or electrical connection. It can be set up and taken down quickly, making it ideal for temporary events, construction sites, and locations where permanent access control is not feasible.
Does the portable turnstile require any electrical connection?
No. The portable turnstile operates mechanically — it requires no electrical connection, no access control wiring, and no permanent mounting. This makes it the simplest and fastest turnstile to deploy.
How quickly can the portable turnstile be set up?
The portable turnstile can typically be set up in under 10 minutes by one person with no tools required. The adjustable base accommodates uneven surfaces, and the self-centering arms are pre-fitted.
Can the portable turnstile be used outdoors?
Yes. The stainless steel construction is suitable for short-term outdoor use. For long-term outdoor installations, we recommend the full-height turnstile range, which is rated for permanent outdoor exposure and Canadian climate extremes.
Is a coin/token operation available?
Yes. A coin or token operation mechanism can be added to the portable turnstile, allowing it to be used for paid admission at events, parking facilities, and similar applications.
