Maintenance of Wing Gates for Scenic Areas
Chuangxintong flap barriers—commonly known as “scissor gates” in the rail transit industry and often referred to as “speed gates” internationally—feature barrier panels (flaps) that are typically flat, fan-shaped, and positioned vertically relative to the ground; they operate by retracting and extending to block or allow passage. The barrier panels are usually made of acrylic or tempered glass, though some utilize metal plates wrapped in special flexible materials to minimize injury in the event of a collision with a pedestrian.
The mechanism control system is exclusively fully automatic, and the form factor is limited to the “bridge” style. They feature robust pedestrian detection capabilities.
[Advantages of Flap Barriers]
- They offer the fastest throughput speed among all types of access gates.
- Lane width falls between that of tripod turnstiles and swing gates, typically ranging from 550mm to 900mm.
- They feature an aesthetically pleasing design and offer a wide variety of materials for the barrier panels.
- In emergencies, the flaps retract into the housing, easily creating an unobstructed passageway to accelerate flow and facilitate pedestrian evacuation.
[Disadvantages of Flap Barriers] - Higher cost.
- Due to the nature of the barrier panels, impact resistance is lower than that of tripod turnstiles; unauthorized forced entry by pedestrians can easily damage the flaps and the internal mechanism.
[Flap Barrier Applications]
Flap barriers are suitable for high-traffic indoor environments, such as ticket-checking areas in subways, train stations, and tourist attractions. They are also ideal for locations where aesthetics are a priority, such as office buildings.

Chuangxintong Technology: Types and Features of Flap Barriers for Ticket Validation at Tourist Attraction Entrances/Exits
Types
Based on physical dimensions, flap barriers can be categorized into vertical-style and bridge-style units.
The dimensions for the “bridge-style trapezoidal top with rounded corners” model are: Length 1200mm × Width 300mm × Height 1000mm.
Bridge-style flap barriers come in various designs, including luxury, pointed-corner, octagonal, trapezoidal-top with rounded corners, and right-angled models. Standard Product Features
