Can full-height turnstile resist typhone?

A full-height turnstile can provide some resistance to typhoons, but its ability to withstand such extreme weather depends on several factors:

Factors Affecting Typhoon Resistance:

1. Material & Build Quality 

   - Stainless steel or heavy-duty aluminum turnstiles are more durable than lightweight materials.  

   - Reinforced frames and welded joints improve structural integrity.

2. Installation & Anchoring  

   - Proper concrete foundation or bolting to a solid surface prevents tipping.  

   - Some models have wind-resistant designs with deeper base plates.

3. Design Features 

   - Fixed vs. Rotating Arms: Some full-height turnstiles have locked arms in high winds.  

   - Weatherproofing: Sealed electronics and corrosion-resistant coatings help against rain and debris.

4. Wind Speed Rating  

   - Typhoons can produce 100–200+ km/h (62–124+ mph) winds.  

   - A well-built turnstile may withstand up to 120–150 km/h (75–93 mph) winds, but beyond that, damage is possible.

Recommendations for Typhoon Resistance:

- Choose a heavy-duty, marine-grade stainless steel model. 

- Ensure deep anchoring (e.g., embedded in concrete). 

- Consider removable arms or a fold-down design for extreme conditions.  

- Check manufacturer ratings for wind/storm resistance.  

Conclusion:

A high-quality, properly installed full-height turnstile can resist moderate typhoon conditions, but in severe typhoons (Category 3+), additional protective measures or temporary removal may be needed. If typhoons are frequent, consult with manufacturers for hurricane-rated security barriers.
