Brute Waist High Turnstiles

The Brute Series is a cost-effective, heavy-duty waist-high turnstile line built for high-traffic locations that need reliable entry control without a premium price tag. The standard tripod model works indoors or out, while the portable version rolls into place for temporary events, construction sites, or seasonal openings. A matching ADA swing gate is available to complete an accessible entry array. This turnstile is built for:

Interior or exterior use - standard powder-coated cabinet stands up to commercial conditions
High-traffic, budget-conscious sites - schools, stadiums, retail, manufacturing, and recreation facilities
Portable deployment - the BR5500-P includes a base plate, wheels, and a curved lane-creation bar
Integration-ready - interfaces with optional LCD counters, card readers, push buttons, and wireless remote controls
System compatibility - nearly universal integration to any number of access control systems

How Our Options Work

Every Brute unit is anchored by a heavy 7-gauge carbon steel cabinet and operates with the 6500 Series Control Head. You choose manual rotation for simple traffic metering, or electronic control for credential-based entry and exit. You can set each electronic direction independently to fail-lock or fail-open on power loss. ADA models swap the tripod arm for a wide U-arm (or straight arm) swing gate that accommodates wheelchairs and carts.
