One Checkpoint, More Control

Turn Your Jobsite Entrance Into an Automated Control Point

A container turnstile should do more than move one person at a time. It should reduce administrative work, give safety teams reliable information, and help security personnel keep the entire site under control.

01

Authorize Every Entry

Require a valid credential before each passage and help prevent unauthorized access, tailgating, and buddy punching at the perimeter.

02

Know Who Is Onsite

Maintain a current record of who entered, when they arrived, what trade they represent, and whether they have left the site.

03

Automate Site Records

Use entry and exit activity for time and attendance, occupancy counts, incident reviews, emergency accountability, and security reporting.

04

Protect Security Staff

Add a custom office that gives checkpoint personnel a secure, climate controlled space with clear visibility of the entrance and workforce.

Built for the Site You Actually Have

Start With a Common Layout. Change Anything.

Some jobsites need a compact entry point. Others need 4 controlled lanes, an office, and full workforce management. Hayward designs the container around your traffic, security plan, software, physical site, and operational needs.

  • Custom lane count and passage direction
  • Security offices and checkpoint workspaces
  • Reader, controller, networking, and software integration
  • Custom finishes, windows, lighting, and project requirements

Software Neutral, Integration Ready

Bring Your Software. Or Let Us Bring the Whole Stack.

Hayward container turnstiles integrate with virtually any construction workforce, credentialing, time and attendance, or access control platform. If your software company already has the jobsite covered, we will coordinate the hardware and integration around it.

If you want one team to coordinate everything, our integration partners can provide the readers, controllers, communications, software, field setup, and final testing needed to put the checkpoint into service.

Container Turnstile FAQs

Questions Before You Plan the Checkpoint?

These answers cover the most common questions from general contractors, safety teams, security leaders, and construction software providers.

Ask an Access Control Specialist

What is a container turnstile?

A container turnstile is a secure, portable access control checkpoint built into a shipping container. It combines full height turnstiles with a rugged modular enclosure and can also include a security office, credential readers, controls, networking, lighting, and other jobsite equipment.

What container turnstile configurations are available?

Hayward can design virtually any container turnstile configuration. Common layouts include a 20 foot container with a tandem turnstile and office, a 20 foot container with 2 tandem turnstiles, and a compact 10 foot container with 1 tandem turnstile. Larger and fully custom modular turnstile layouts are also available.

Can a shipping container turnstile include an office for security personnel?

Yes. Hayward can create an enclosed security office within the container so personnel can monitor the checkpoint in a protected, comfortable space. The office can be configured with windows, counters, lighting, electrical service, climate control, and other project specific features.

Will the container turnstile integrate with our existing jobsite software?

Yes. Hayward container turnstiles are designed to integrate with virtually any construction workforce, access control, credentialing, time and attendance, or site management platform. Hayward can coordinate directly with your software provider or provide an experienced integration partner.

Can Hayward provide the access control software and integration?

Yes. Hayward works with leading software and integration companies to deliver a complete solution. The system can automate worker authorization, entry and exit records, real time occupancy, trade tracking, time and attendance, emergency headcounts, and security reporting.

How is a container turnstile installed at the jobsite?

Hayward can coordinate delivery, placement, access control integration, testing, and commissioning through qualified local installation partners. If you want a complete turnkey solution, tell us where the checkpoint belongs and our team can coordinate the work through final setup.

Can a container turnstile be moved to another construction site?

Yes. Portability is one of the main advantages of a shipping container turnstile. The complete checkpoint can be relocated as the project changes or moved to another jobsite, allowing contractors to reuse the same access control asset across multiple projects.

Are Hayward container turnstiles American made?

The Hayward turnstiles, fabricated components, integration work, and labor are American made using US sourced materials. The repurposed shipping container itself is the exception. Domestic production supports dependable quality, responsive service, and freedom from overseas manufacturing and customs delays.

How long does a custom container turnstile take to build?

Lead time depends on the container size, lane count, office requirements, access control hardware, software integration, and finish. Hayward provides rapid project review and same day quoting whenever the required project information is available. Domestic manufacturing helps eliminate overseas production and customs uncertainty.
