Exceptional Durability & Weather Resistance: Powder coating creates a much thicker, harder, and more uniform layer than liquid paint. It is highly resistant to chipping, scratching, fading, and corrosion (rust). This is critical for turnstiles installed outdoors, exposed to rain, UV rays, and temperature extremes.
Long-Term Aesthetics: The color stays vibrant for years with minimal maintenance. It doesn't peel or crack like traditional paint, ensuring the turnstile maintains a professional, authoritative appearance.
Chemical & Cleanability: The finish is resistant to many chemicals, oils, and graffiti. Vandalism like spray paint can often be cleaned off without damaging the underlying coating. This reduces long-term maintenance costs.
Environmental & Safety Benefits: The powder coating process is generally more environmentally friendly than liquid painting. It produces little to no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and overspray can be recycled. It's also non-toxic once cured.
Maximum Strength & Security: Iron (typically mild or carbon steel) provides immense structural integrity. It makes the turnstile extremely difficult to cut, bend, or break through, acting as a formidable physical barrier.
Vandal Resistance: The solid metal construction can withstand significant impact and abuse, deterring and delaying forced entry attempts.
Weight & Stability: The heavy weight of a full-height steel turnstile makes it impossible to move or dislodge once installed, adding to its security function.
Complete Physical Barrier: Unlike waist-high tripods, a full-height turnstile completely encloses the person, preventing climbing over, passing items over, or tailgating/piggybacking when integrated with proper access control systems.
Deterrent Value: Its imposing presence psychologically deters unauthorized entry attempts. It signals a serious, high-security zone.
Forced One-Way Traffic: Effectively controls the direction of flow. When one person passes through and the rotating arm locks into position, the path is blocked for the next person until a new credential is presented.
When you combine these three elements, you get a product where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts:
Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): While the initial investment is higher than simpler options, the extreme durability and minimal maintenance of a powder-coated steel full-height turnstile mean it will last for decades with little upkeep, offering a better long-term ROI.
Ideal for Harsh & High-Traffic Environments: Perfect for:
Outdoor perimeters of factories, data centers, and stadiums.
Transportation hubs (subways, airports).
High-security government or corporate facilities.
Anywhere requiring 24/7, all-weather access control with high throughput.
Professional Integration: The robust construction allows for seamless integration with high-end access control systems (card readers, biometrics, ticket validators) and can be networked for centralized control and monitoring.
