05 Feb EasyGate SPT secures Toyota’s super-sustainable Australian logistics hub
Australia’s largest automotive company chose Entrance Control’s EasyGate SPT speedstiles to protect its new carbon-neutral aftersales and parts-distribution centre in Queensland’s City of Logan, pairing cutting-edge sustainability with high-end security.
Toyota’s 33,000 sqm facility in the suburb of Crestmead was built by De Luca Corporation and features advanced green technology including 1MW solar-power generation, hydrogen refuelling and 23 EV charging bays – making it 100% carbon-neutral.
Entrance Control General Manager Michael Bystram said the installation reflected Toyota’s commitment to excellence across all aspects of its operations.
“When a company like Toyota invests in sophisticated sustainable infrastructure, it makes sense to choose entrance control that complements the level of technology. Our EasyGate SPT speedstiles provide state-of-the-art security appropriate for a facility of this calibre.”
The suite of EasyGate SPT speedstiles features 1,800mm tall barriers to safeguard access, operated by a brushless Magnetic Direct Drive Motor that opens them in less than half a second to allow fast throughput. A team of 36 infrared sensors work in tandem to deliver comprehensive detection of unauthorised access attempts including tailgating, protecting Toyota’s people and products.
The SPT installation at the automobile manufacturing giant’s Crestmead office includes two sets of two lanes of EasyGate SPT speedstiles. The gates’ energy-efficient magnetic direct drive motors complement Toyota’s sustainability focus by using less energy than similar products on the market.
Rainwater harvesting and native drought-resistant landscaping further enhance the facility’s green credentials, and First Nations design principles were incorporated into the office interiors and landscaping by developers Goodman to establish a sense of place.
Toyota’s Crestmead centre supports its commitment to environmental responsibility, with the company aiming to achieve global carbon neutrality by 2050, and will officially open this year.
Bystram said he was proud of Entrance Control’s commitment to sustainable practices, with its production facilities drawing 50 per cent power from rooftop solar panels and its speedstile range made of materials that are up to 99 per cent recyclable.
“Modern entrance control should support, not compromise, a facility’s environmental objectives. Our products deliver comprehensive security while maintaining minimal energy consumption throughout their operational life.”
