Boon Edam Speed Gates
Four Boon Edam waist-level speed gates are shown above in a recent ECI installation at a Chicago area office location. Speed gates differ from traditional turnstiles in both design and functionality.
Turnstiles typically have three rotating arms, or tripods, that physically block passage. Speed gates use sensors and barriers to allow authorized access while detecting and controlling unauthorized access as well as tailgating.
Their design is more modern and aesthetically pleasing with transparent barriers that open and close very quickly. The speed gates allow for faster traffic flow as well as improved accessibility, particularly for individuals with mobility aids, packages or luggage.
Speed gates offer a comprehensive security solution since they are designed to integrate with various access control devices. They also take up less space than traditional turnstiles.
Several factors must be considered when comparing different models including swing or slide barrier style, cabinet size, customization, traffic speed as well as level of security. Boon Edam offers a comprehensive range of speed gates to cater to diverse security needs and architectural requirements.
- The Speedlane Swing features slim cabinets and swinging glass barriers.
- The Speedlane Slide utilizes sliding glass barriers that offer a slightly different visual appeal and a more substantial barrier as compared to the Swing model.
- The Speedlane Open has no physical barriers. Instead, it relies on sensors and indicators to guide and control access.
- Both the Lifeline Swing and Lifeline Slide combine security with customizable design options.
- The Lifeline Boost has a compact cabinet with a smaller footprint and is designed for supervised areas.
