Waist Height Turnstiles
Waist height turnstiles, also known as half height turnstiles, provide a practical and cost-effective solution for controlling pedestrian access in environments where moderate security and efficient people flow are required.
At Flow Systems, we supply and install durable half height turnstile systems designed to balance security, accessibility, and efficient people flow.
Waist height turnstiles are suitable when lower levels of security of access control is required. They are manufactured in several versions – tripod or 3 arms or 4 horizontal arms of steel, glass, stainless steel, etc.
Half height turnstiles for the industrial and prestige markets are made to the same robust and styling standards as our industrial and prestige full height turnstiles.
The design functionality and reliability of our turnstiles provide companies with peace of mind that our products have been manufactured and refined since 1975.

Half Height and Waist Height Turnstiles for Access Control
What Are Half Height Turnstiles?
Half height turnstiles are access control systems that regulate pedestrian movement using waist-high barriers, typically with rotating arms. They allow one person to pass at a time after authentication, ensuring controlled entry and exit.
These systems are widely used where:
- Controlled access is required
- High throughput is needed
- A full physical barrier is not necessary
They can be integrated with:
- RFID or access cards
- Biometric systems
- Ticketing and visitor management systems
Half height turnstiles are commonly used for access control and crowd management in both indoor and outdoor environments
Where Are Half Height Turnstiles Used?
Half height turnstiles are suitable for a variety of applications, including:
- Office buildings and reception areas
- Gyms and leisure facilities
- Stadiums and event venues
- Educational institutions
- Retail environments
They are ideal where a balance between accessibility and security is required.
