Turnstile Gate Dimensions and Passage Width Guide

Turnstile gate dimensions are an important consideration when planning pedestrian access control entrances. Cabinet length, body width, passage clearance, and barrier movement all affect installation space and the number of lanes a building can accommodate.

YUNSHAO manufactures different turnstile gate models for commercial buildings, schools, gyms, factories, and security facilities. This guide compares actual product dimensions, explains how to determine passage width, and highlights important installation requirements.

Standard Turnstile Gate Dimensions

There is no universal standard size for every turnstile gate. Dimensions vary according to the mechanism, cabinet design, barrier type, and passage configuration.

The following table includes published specifications from selected YUNSHAO models and identifies additional gate categories requiring model-specific dimensional confirmation. All measurements are in millimeters.

Turnstile Model	Product Size (L × W × H)	Passage Width
Speed Gate YS-ST05	1400 × 120 × 1000 mm	750 mm
Swing Turnstile YS-XBZ01	260 × 180 × 1050 mm	1200 mm
Flap Barrier YS-YZ01	1200 × 300 × 980 mm	550 mm
Sliding Turnstile YS-PY100	1200 × 330 × 980 mm	550 mm
Tripod Turnstile YS-SG04A	1200 × 280 × 980 mm	Up to 550 mm
Full-Height Turnstile YS-QG03	1450 × 1500 × 2300 mm	Model drawing required
Ticketing Turnstile Gates	Model-dependent	Depends on selected gate and reader layout
Automated Border Control Gates	Model-dependent	Requires approved system layout

The first six entries use individual product specifications and should not be treated as universal dimensions for their entire categories. Ticketing and automated border control gates require a selected model and approved drawing before dimensions can be confirmed.

Important: Product size, nominal passage width, and minimum clear opening are different measurements. Always review the approved dimensional drawing, including barrier movement and the final installed arrangement, before confirming accessibility or project compliance.

Recommended YUNSHAO Turnstile Gates

YUNSHAO offers eight categories of turnstile gates designed for different entrance dimensions, passage widths, and security requirements. From compact tripod turnstiles and slim speed gates to full-height security gates and automated border control systems, our products support a wide range of installation layouts. Different cabinet sizes, barrier configurations, and customized passage widths are available to meet specific project requirements.

How to Determine Turnstile Passage Width

Turnstile passage width refers to the usable opening through which pedestrians travel. It must be distinguished from the width of an individual cabinet and the overall width of the installed gate arrangement.

When selecting a turnstile passage width, buyers should consider pedestrian traffic, mobility requirements, luggage or equipment movement, barrier geometry, and the available entrance space.

Standard Pedestrian Passage

The required clear opening depends on normal pedestrian movement, personal belongings, and the selected mechanism. Models with narrower passages may not accommodate large luggage or mobility equipment.

Wide and Accessible Passage

Wider swing gate configurations can support projects requiring additional clearance. The completed opening, approach space, and accessible route must comply with applicable local requirements.

Swing turnstile gates can provide wider passage configurations, while flap barriers, sliding turnstiles, and tripod gates have model-specific limitations. Full-height gates require additional consideration of rotor geometry and available walking space.

For accurate planning, the manufacturer’s drawing should identify the minimum clear opening with the barrier in its authorized passage position, rather than relying solely on the nominal width listed in a product catalog.

Measurement Note: A published passage width of 750 mm does not automatically establish a compliant accessible route. Actual clearance, barrier position, site geometry, and destination-market requirements must be evaluated independently.

Turnstile Installation Space and Layout

For multi-lane installations, the total entrance width depends on the number of cabinets, the number of passages, any shared cabinet arrangements, and the required installation clearances.

For illustration, consider a three-lane configuration using four cabinets, each 120 mm wide, and three nominal pedestrian passages of 750 mm.

Illustrative Three-Lane Width Calculation

4 × 120 mm + 3 × 750 mm= 2730 mm

Basic combined cabinet and passage width

This calculation is illustrative rather than an approved YUNSHAO installation dimension. It assumes that the selected equipment supports shared cabinets between adjacent lanes. It excludes wall gaps, manufacturing tolerances, mounting requirements, maintenance space, and other site-specific allowances.

For an actual project, the complete lane arrangement must be confirmed using an approved manufacturer drawing.

Additional Installation Requirements

Barrier Clearance: Verify the full opening, closing, sliding, or rotation envelope.
Floor and Foundation: Confirm surface level, anchor points, structural support, and floor load capacity.
Power and Network: Plan electrical supply, cable routing, access controllers, and communication connections.
Reader Placement: Provide suitable positions for RFID, QR code, facial recognition, or ticketing devices.
Maintenance Access: Maintain sufficient clearance for servicing internal components and opening cabinet panels.
Emergency and Accessibility: Coordinate emergency passage and accessible routes with applicable project regulations.

For installation details, see our Turnstile Gate Installation Guide.

Can Turnstile Gate Dimensions Be Customized?

YUNSHAO provides OEM and ODM customization for different entrance designs and project requirements. Depending on the selected model, options may include cabinet dimensions, barrier sizes, passage configurations, stainless steel finishes, and compatible access control devices.

However, mechanical modifications must consider motor capacity, barrier movement, pedestrian safety, structural stability, and maintenance requirements. Wider passages may require changes to the barrier mechanism or equipment configuration.

For non-standard installations, buyers should provide entrance dimensions, required passage width, installation drawings, site photographs, authentication requirements, and the intended operating environment for engineering evaluation.

FAQ

What is the standard size of a turnstile gate?

There is no universal standard size. Dimensions vary by product type and model. For example, YUNSHAO YS-ST05 measures 1400 × 120 × 1000 mm, while YS-QG03 full-height turnstile measures 1450 × 1500 × 2300 mm.

How wide is a turnstile passage?

Passage width depends on the specific model. Selected YUNSHAO products publish widths of 550 mm, 750 mm, or wider configurations. The actual clear opening must be confirmed from the product drawing.

Can turnstile gates accommodate wheelchair users?

Suitable wide-passage swing gates or other accessible entrance arrangements may accommodate wheelchair users. The complete installation must meet the applicable accessibility requirements, including clear width and maneuvering space.

Can YUNSHAO provide custom turnstile dimensions?

Yes. YUNSHAO supports project-specific customization where mechanically feasible. Final dimensions and passage configurations require technical review and approved drawings before production.
