Woukd it fit through the turnstile as you roll it, or would it need to be lifted up above the bars?

maybe @houseofjob knows?

Thanks

I do this all the time! you just pivot and roll it under, either leading with it, or bringing it through first.

The uni is a smidge over 2 feet tall FYI.

Thanks. I was just thinking maybe it wont fit in between those rotating bars. Great to know! One more point in favor of kingsong. Thanks!

No problem. The turnstiles in rest position is a clear path, just don't try to turn it first while rolling the uni in.

If you think about it, the turnstile bar height is about 3 feet (guesstimate), and the wide clearance is significantly wider than the width of my hips, which at my 5'8" build, are 14 inches wide.

The KS-18A is, again, ~2 feet tall and ~7 inches wide, which just doing the math, easily clears.

Now im confused. How can you not turn it as you go in?are you saying bring the unit thru without turning, and it will fet to the left of the bars thru the clear opening? And then as you go in, turn the bar? Thanks

Had to go on a market run so I took a pic, if it helps (not the greatest pic, and FYI the KS18 is right under the bar):
