Full Height Turnstile Installed To Control Access At FedEx Freight

ECI installed the full height turnstile shown above for FedEx Freight in Romeoville just last month. This multi purpose model is suitable for both outdoor and indoor applications and is part of BoonEdam's line of TurnLock turnstiles.

The indoor turnstile separates a lobby entrance from a work area. While allowing employees with access credentials to pass through, it restricts driver and visitor access to that portion of the building. ECI also tied in the provided access control equipment.

Someone can unlock the turnstile when he or she presents proper credentials at an authorized time. There is only room for a single person so tailgating (or simultaneously following through) is deterred.

A person can move through the turnstile and proceed into the secured area as the turnstile rotates. Once the entry position is met, the turnstile locks itself and awaits the next authorization entry.

Turnstiles (or turnstyles) are sometimes referred to as baffle gates, ‘cheese graters’ or revolving doors. For other applications such as fare collection in rapid transit locations, turnstiles may also be half height.
