Economical semi-automatic tripod turnstile

It consists of three rotating arms (tripod) that allow only one person to pass at a time after authentication (e.g., ticket validation, access card swipe, or biometric scan).

Key Features of a Tripod Turnstile:

1. Three-Arm Design – The rotating tripod arms restrict tailgating (unauthorized entry behind an authorized person).

2. Directional Control – Can be configured for entry-only, exit-only, or bidirectional flow.

3. Access Control Integration – Works with RFID cards, QR codes, biometrics, or ticketing systems.

4. Durable Construction – Often made of stainless steel or heavy-duty materials for high-traffic areas.

5. Compact & Space-Saving – Takes up less space compared to full-height turnstiles.

6. Optional Security Features – Some models include alarms, anti-passback, and tamper-proof mechanisms.
