PassThru Waist High Turnstiles

The PassThru Series is built for high-traffic locations that need an open, bridge-style cabinet rather than a bulky enclosure. Constructed from heavy 14-gauge, 300-series satin stainless steel and driven by the 6500 Series Control Head with auto-indexing and shock suppression, it delivers years of reliable service indoors or out. The 18-inch tripod arm is the longest of any waist-high model in the lineup, giving pedestrians a little extra room at the gate. This turnstile is built for:

• Interior or exterior use - the all-stainless PTS and portable PTS-P models handle both environments
• High-traffic, design-conscious sites - arenas, recreation centers, corporate campuses, and public buildings where sight lines matter
• Maximum passage area - 18" arm provides the widest standard opening in the waist-high lineup
• Integrated security - interfaces with LCD counters, computer attendance systems, card readers, push buttons, and wireless remote controls
• System flexibility - nearly universal integration to any number of access control systems

How Our Options Work

The PassThru is configured around 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. The PTS model can also be fitted with a coin/token acceptor or ticket drop box, turning the turnstile into a self-serve revenue gate. Optional card-reader mounting plates can be recessed into the lid on the PTR and PTZ models.
