Portable Full Height Turnstiles for Construction Site

With decades of experience securing high-risk environments worldwide, Boon Edam now brings that expertise to temporary and evolving construction sites.

Construction sites present a host of unique security challenges. They’re dynamic environments that are constantly changing, requiring fluid access and egress – yet they demand tight security controls to protect expensive building materials, tools, and equipment, as well as the structures under development and the people who bring it all together. And then there are compliance issues, which when not strictly adhered to, can result in fines or site closures. Traditional access solutions and even stationed security personnel don’t hit all the checkboxes for such challenging environments.

Now there’s a solution… Boon Edam mobile full height turnstiles. 

Full height turnstiles are a rugged, low-maintenance security entrance solution for the harshest outdoor conditions, acting as a deterrent against unauthorized entry, and tailgating at your fence line. Now available in portable configurations, mobile full height turnstiles provide the flexibility to move where and when you need them most during every phase of a project without compromising safety, accountability, or site efficiency.

Designed from the ground up for deployment at construction sites, mobile full height turnstiles provide uncompromised security that can be deployed, relocated, and redeployed without anchoring or permanent installation. 

Aside from their inherent security benefits and ability to better manage and control access to construction sites, mobile full height turnstiles deliver tangible operational benefits and cost-savings. Value added benefits include:

Mobility & Jobsite Adaptability

• Mobility to support changing access points across evolving construction sites
• Scalable access infrastructure for future business/project growth
• Purpose-built for harsh, high-traffic construction environments

Visibility & Access Control

• Full visibility into who, when, and why individuals are on site
• 24/7 automated, permission-based access management
• Proactive resistance to tailgating, unauthorized entry, and credential sharing
• Improved workforce and visitor management

Compliance, Risk & Cost Impact

• Compliance with safety, security, and workforce mandates
• Lower insurance costs through improved site security

Customers using mobile full height turnstiles at active job sites report measurable improvements across security, cost, and workforce productivity.

Do we need to install a slab to accommodate the weight of the mobile full height turnstile?

No. The mobile full height turnstile has a palletized base that is forklift‑ready. Depending on local conditions and exposure, you may consider optional anchoring to withstand high wind.

We move the gate every 60–90 days. How easily can the mobile full height turnstile be moved? 

Our mobile full height turnstiles are designed to redeploy quickly for movement at a job site or to different locations. 

Will the mobile full height turnstile integrate with our badging and access system and devices?

Our mobile full height turnstiles are credential agnostic and easily integrate with leading access control systems and devices. 

What happens to the mobile full height turnstile if there is a power outage?

Our mobile full height turnstiles are available with UPS battery backup options to sustain operation continuity.

How do mobile full height turnstiles impact ingress to job sites? 

Our mobile full height turnstiles can improve access throughput by eliminating the need for personnel to be cleared for entry by security personnel. 

Can mobile full height turnstiles withstand the use and abuse of harsh construction jobsites? 

The units feature industrial grade construction for heavy use in harsh exterior environments.

Unlike improvised temporary gates or modified fence solutions, the Turnlock 100 Mobile Platform is purpose-built for controlled access in temporary environments, delivering maximum security and portability. Engineered for the real-world demands of construction job sites, events, and temporary installations, the Turnlock 100 Mobile Platform delivers superior full height protection and portability in a rugged, forklift-ready unit for uncompromised access control wherever and whenever you need it.
