Simple and Effective
Classic design with small footprint for indoor or outdoor use
Traditional turnstile technology precision engineered to suit any modern public transport fare collection system.
The Gunnebo Metro Tripod Turnstile (MTR) is a robust and space-efficient entrance solution, designed for smooth and silent operation in mass transit environments. With its durable stainless steel construction, low power consumption, and minimal wear and tear, it ensures long-term reliability and cost-effective performance.
Its versatile design allows installation in metro stations, railways, bus terminals, and even onboard trams and ferries, providing secure, controlled access while maintaining high passenger throughput.
For added safety, the MTR includes a drop-arm option that automatically lowers in emergency situations, enabling a clear exit path. Equipped with LED indicators and seamless AFC system integration, the Metro Tripod Turnstile is an ideal choice for high-traffic public transport networks.
Compact & Space-Efficient Design – Requires only one housing per lane, optimising space in high-traffic areas.
Smooth & Silent Operation – Low power consumption and minimal wear and tear for long-term reliability.
Durable Stainless Steel Construction – Available in 316-grade stainless steel for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.
Configurable Passage Modes – Supports uni-directional and bi-directional operation, with remote passage control.
Tailgating Prevention – Positive locking action ensures only one authorised user per entry.
Emergency Fail-Safe Options – In power failure or emergencies, the hub freely rotates, or the drop-arm lowers for unobstructed exit.
Customisable Ticketing Integration – Compatible with AFC control systems, ticket readers, and access badges.
LED Waymode Indicators – Red Cross / Green Arrow displays for clear user guidance.
High Throughput Capacity – Supports up to 45 passengers per minute, ensuring efficient passenger flow.
• Precision-Controlled Locking – Ensures one authorised passage at a time, preventing unauthorised entry.
• Self-Centering Mechanism – Automatically resets the turnstile to its default position after each passage.
• Hydraulic Damping System – Provides smooth, silent operation while reducing mechanical wear.
• Anti-Backup Protection – Prevents reverse movement once the turnstile has rotated 60° from its home position, ensuring secure passage.
• Fail-Safe or Fail-Lock Modes – Configurable to rotate freely for emergency exit or lock in place for added security.
• Fire Alarm Integration – Equipped with an emergency input for automatic response to fire alarms.
• Automated Fail-State Response – The mechanism follows the same fail-state setting as the power failure mode.
• Drop-Arm Emergency Exit – The horizontal arm automatically drops, creating a clear passage for fast evacuation.
• LL2001Lite Microprocessor Control – Ensures precise operation and seamless integration with external systems.
• Dual-Direction Control – One input per direction for opening and locking functionality.
• Protected Output System – Two outputs manage gate opening/locking, with four outputs controlling way mode indicators.
• Real-Time Passage Monitoring – Two outputs count passages in both directions, ensuring accurate flow tracking.
• Relay & Collector Outputs – Two OV relays indicate availability of use or passage counting, while two open collector NPN outputs manage passage tracking or activate the optional drop arm.
• RS485 Serial Port – Enables efficient communication with access control and AFC systems.
• Power Supply – 230V AC 50Hz / 115V AC 60Hz
• Power Consumption – 50VA (standby 5VA if Normally Open)
• Operating Temperature – 0°C to +45°C (RH 95% non-condensing); -20°C with optional heating system
• Ingress Protection (IP Rating) – IP20
• Mean Cycles Between Failure (MCBF) – 10 million cycles, ensuring long-term reliability
• Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) – Less than 30 minutes for efficient maintenance
• Throughput Capacity – Up to 45 passengers per minute, depending on ticketing response times
• Passage Width – 550mm standard
• Material Construction –
