Security Barriers

Seamless, secure vehicle access

Unrestricted vehicle entry can lead to congestion, safety hazards, and unauthorised access. Without proper control, your site is vulnerable to blockages, theft, and disruption.

Some barrier systems are slow or prone to faults, causing frustration and delays.

Ours are built for smooth, reliable operation, keeping your traffic flowing and your site secure.

    What is an automatic barrier system?

    It’s an entrance barrier for vehicles and/or pedestrians, used to control the flow of traffic to and from your premises to avoid blockages or disruptions to your business operations.

    Our car park barrier systems detect vehicles and pedestrians using motion sensors to permit entry and exit, which also check for blockages before closing the barriers to prevent injury or damage.

    Integrated with specialist security 

    Depending on your needs, we can integrate the barriers with access control systems like number plate registrations and RFID cards so vehicles can be easily identified before permitting them entry to the property. 

    As for pedestrian turnstiles, we integrate our virtual access systems to provide accurate time and attendance data to help monitor on-site movement and restrict access to sensitive areas. You can choose between push buttons, card readers, radio, keypads, biometric or intercom access control systems.

    What are the benefits of installing automatic barriers?

    Unlike standard automatic barriers, all of our systems can be integrated with reliable security features to provide security and operational benefits.

    Entrance and vehicle barriers are an efficient investment because they:

    • Monitor movement & ensure only authorised personnel have access
    • Prevent parking from becoming overcrowded
    • Ensure evacuation areas & access routes remain clear
    • Eliminate external traffic entering your site
    • Ensure pedestrian safety

    Access control systems – FAQs

    Automatic gates are designed to control vehicle and pedestrian access through an entrance or exit. They can be sliding, swinging or folding, and they’re typically used for private properties to enhance security and control access.

    Whereas, automatic barrier systems are specifically designed to regulate the flow of traffic by allowing or restricting access to an area. They consist of a horizontal arm that raises or lowers to permit or deny entry, and are often found in car parks, toll roads, industrial and construction sites.

    Choosing between the two is dependent on your access control requirements, but we offer both and can help you make the right decision for your business.

    Commercial barrier systems can commonly be found on business sites, placed at primary entry points. However, other locations where electronic barrier gates can be used include:

    • Education sites
    • Events
    • Private parking areas
    • Construction sites
    • Industrial sites
    • Commercial sites
    • Retail Parks

    Anywhere between 5 and 10 years when properly cared for and maintained.
