How do speed gates handle the passage of strollers?

Jul 10, 2025|

Hey there! As a speed gate supplier, I often get asked about how our speed gates handle the passage of strollers. It's a crucial question, especially in places like shopping malls, airports, and public transportation hubs where families with little ones are a common sight. So, let's dive right into it and explore how our speed gates are designed to accommodate strollers seamlessly.

First off, let's talk about the physical design of our speed gates. Our High Speed Gate models are engineered with wide passageways. We understand that strollers come in all shapes and sizes, from compact umbrella strollers to larger, full - featured ones with extra storage. That's why we've made sure that the opening between the gates is wide enough to allow easy passage of even the bulkiest strollers without any squeezing or maneuvering hassles.

The speed of the gate operation is another key factor. Our Speed Gate Access Control systems are equipped with sensors that can detect the presence of a stroller. When a stroller approaches the gate, the sensors quickly identify it and adjust the gate opening speed accordingly. Instead of the usual fast - paced opening and closing for single pedestrians, the gate opens wider and slower for strollers. This gives parents or caregivers enough time to safely guide the stroller through the gate without any risk of the gate closing prematurely.

In addition to the sensor - based speed adjustment, our speed gates also have a gentle closing mechanism. Once the stroller has passed through, the gate doesn't slam shut. It closes slowly and smoothly, preventing any accidental collisions with the stroller or the child inside. This is not only a safety feature but also provides peace of mind to parents who are often worried about their little ones getting caught in the gate.

Another aspect we've considered is the anti - pinch technology. Our speed gates are designed with sensors along the edges that can detect any obstruction during the closing process. If a part of the stroller, like a wheel or a handle, gets in the way of the closing gate, the sensors immediately stop the gate from closing further and then open it back up. This prevents any painful pinching incidents and ensures the safety of both the child and the stroller.

Now, let's talk about the access control side of things. Our speed gates can be integrated with various access control systems, such as RFID cards, barcode scanners, or biometric readers. For families with strollers, we offer flexible access options. For example, parents can use a family - specific RFID card that allows multiple entries through the gate for the whole family, including the stroller. This makes it convenient for parents to move through the gate without having to fumble around with individual cards for each person.

We also understand that in some situations, parents might need to use the gate in a hurry, like when they're running late for a flight or a doctor's appointment. That's why our speed gates can be set to a "priority access" mode for strollers. In this mode, the gate gives immediate access to strollers, bypassing any queuing systems for single pedestrians. This ensures that families with strollers can move through quickly and efficiently when time is of the essence.

Moreover, our speed gates are built to be durable and reliable. Strollers can be heavy, and they may come into contact with the gates during the passage. Our gates are made from high - quality materials that can withstand the wear and tear caused by stroller traffic. The frames are strong and resistant to impacts, and the moving parts are designed to last for a long time, even with frequent use by strollers.

When it comes to installation, our speed gates can be customized to fit different environments. Whether it's a small entrance or a large - scale transit hub, we can adjust the layout of the gates to ensure that there is enough space for strollers to maneuver. We also offer on - site installation and training services to make sure that the staff at the location know how to operate the gates effectively, especially when it comes to handling stroller passages.

In terms of maintenance, our speed gates are designed to be low - maintenance. We provide regular software updates that can improve the performance of the sensors and the access control systems, especially in relation to stroller detection and passage. Our technical support team is also available 24/7 to assist with any issues that may arise, ensuring that the gates are always in optimal condition for stroller passage.
