The slim trend of turnstiles gate (narrow-body, ultra-thin and lightweight design) is the most definitive mainstream in the pedestrian access control turnstile industry from 2020 to 2030. Its core lies in extreme cabinet narrowing, structural simplification and integration, material and weight reduction, optimized space utilization, and aesthetic integration. Meanwhile, it maintains passage safety, movement performance and intelligent integration, and is being widely adopted across commercial buildings, industrial parks, subways, rail transit and public infrastructure projects

    Industry data: The market share of ultra-slim turnstiles has increased from 12% in 2020 to 31% in 2024, and the standard configuration rate of ultra-slim models in new projects will exceed 60% by 2026.

Core Technical Paths of Slim Design turnstiles gate

1 Cabinet Structure Innovation
    Integrated aluminum alloy bending & die casting: Replaces traditional spliced sheet metal, maintaining structural strength while halving the thickness.

2 Miniaturized Integrated Movement (Breakthrough in Core Technical Difficulties)

• Integrated compact brushless servo motor and reduction module, with movement volume reduced by over 40%.
• Lightweight linkages for swing gate arms / flap gate arms with optimized torque, enabling the slim cabinet to fully meet safety standards of anti-pinch, anti-collision and impact resistance.
• Embedded control board design eliminates the external electrical control box, realizing a fully channel-oriented cabinet structure.  

3. Upgraded Lightweight Materials

• Main structure: Aviation aluminum alloy and high-strength thin stainless steel replace heavy cold-rolled steel sheets.
• Long-term trend: Large-scale application of carbon fiber composites, further reducing the overall unit weight by 45% and improving installation & maintenance efficiency by 60%.
• Exterior components: Tempered glass and matte coating, achieving a balance of slim profile and premium texture.

4. Built-in Perception & Integrated Functions
Infrared sensors, LiDAR, anti-pinch sensors and tailgating detection are all embedded inside the slim cabinet, with external detection posts eliminated. Face recognition and QR code scanning are integrated into top-mounted modules, leaving no external devices on cabinet sides.
