VARITO Turnstile and Barrier Gates
In the modern world, managing the flow of people in and out of a facility is no longer just about convenience, it is a critical security requirement. Whether it is a high-rise corporate office, a massive industrial plant or a public transportation hub, maintaining order and verifying identity are paramount. Turnstile Gates have emerged as the most effective physical solution to prevent unauthorized entry, eliminate “tailgating” and automate attendance tracking.
At VARITO, we don’t just provide turnstile gates, we engineer security ecosystems. Our range of turnstiles and barrier gates is designed with “Relevance Engineering” at its core, ensuring that every product provides maximum security with minimum friction for authorized users.
What is a Turnstile Gate?
A turnstile gate is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time. It can also be engineered to enforce one-way traffic of people, and in addition, it can restrict passage only to people who insert a coin, a ticket, a pass, or perform a biometric scan. From a security standpoint, the primary advantage of a turnstile over a standard door is tailgate detection, the ability to ensure that for every authorized scan, only one individual enters.
By integrating a turnstile with a VARITO Access Control System, facility managers can gain real-time data on who is inside the building, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency.
Exploring the VARITO Turnstile Lineup
Different environments require different levels of security and aesthetic appeal. VARITO offers a diverse portfolio of gates to suit every specific need.
1. VARITO Tripod Turnstile Gate
The “workhorse” of the security industry, the tripod turnstile features three rotating arms. It is a cost-effective, durable, and space-saving solution ideal for high-traffic areas where basic crowd control is needed. The VARITO Tripod Turnstile Gate is widely used in gymnasiums, public parks, and factory entrances. Its mechanical robust design ensures it can handle millions of rotations with minimal maintenance.
2. VARITO Flap Barrier Gate
For modern corporate offices and high-end lobbies where aesthetics are as important as security, the flap barrier is the premium choice. These gates feature retractable “wings” that pull into the cabinet to allow passage. The VARITO Flap Barrier Gate offers a sleek, futuristic look and faster throughput. It is equipped with advanced infrared sensors to detect if a person is trying to sneak in behind an authorized user, immediately triggering an alarm.
3. VARITO Swing Barrier Gate
Swing barriers are the most versatile option, often used in hospitals, airports, and supermarkets. They feature a gate arm that swings open like a door. One of the primary advantages of the VARITO Swing Barrier Gate is its ability to provide a wider passage, making it the standard choice for ADA compliance and wheelchair or luggage access.
4. VARITO Full Height Turnstile Gate
When absolute security is required, such as at construction sites, prisons, or high-security military zones, the full-height turnstile is the only option. Often described as a “revolving door for security,” it is impossible to climb over or crawl under. The VARITO Full Height Turnstile Gate is built from heavy-duty galvanized steel or stainless steel, providing a permanent physical barrier that can operate 24/7 in harsh outdoor environments.
The Technology Behind the Gates
What makes a VARITO gate superior to generic alternatives is the technology housed within the stainless steel cabinet.
Advanced Sensor Arrays
Our gates utilize high-density infrared (IR) sensor grids. These sensors “map” the movement of the person passing through. If the system detects two people trying to pass on a single credential, the flaps or arms will lock, and a notification will be sent to the security desk.
Seamless Biometric Integration
VARITO gates are designed to be “plug-and-play” with various identification methods. Whether you prefer VARITO Face Recognition Access Control for a touchless experience or VARITO Fingerprint Recognition for high-security verification, our controllers handle the data processing instantly.
Industrial-Grade Motors
We use brushless DC motors in our barrier gates. These motors provide:
- Silent Operation: Perfect for quiet office environments.
- Durability: Rated for over 5 million cycles.
- Speed Control: The opening and closing speeds can be adjusted to match the traffic flow of your facility.
Why Choose VARITO? Brand Authority and Reliability
In the security world, reliability is the only metric that matters. VARITO has earned its reputation by delivering consistent performance in the most demanding conditions.
1. Robust Material Construction
All VARITO turnstiles are constructed using SUS304 or SUS316 stainless steel. This ensures that the gates are resistant to corrosion, rust, and physical tampering, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
2. Safety First
Our gates are engineered with “Fail-Safe” mechanisms. In the event of a power outage or fire alarm activation, the arms will drop (in tripod models) or the flaps will open automatically, allowing for a clear and safe emergency evacuation route.
3. Customization and Scalability
We understand that no two buildings are the same. Whether you need a single lane for a small office or a 10-lane array for a stadium, VARITO provides modular designs that can be customized with specific logos, LED indicators, and finish types to match your brand’s aesthetic.
Maintenance and Long-Term Value
Investing in a VARITO gate is a long-term decision. Because we use high-quality components, the “Total Cost of Ownership” (TCO) is significantly lower than cheaper alternatives. Regular maintenance involves simple sensor cleaning and occasional lubrication of mechanical parts, ensuring the system remains operational for decades.
Conclusion: Order, Safety and Security
VARITO Turnstile and Barrier Gates represent the pinnacle of pedestrian access control. By combining rugged physical barriers with intelligent AI-driven software, we provide a solution that doesn’t just stop people, it manages them.
