Automatic Vehicle Gates & Barriers

Manage vehicle access with confidence. Gates and barriers designed around traffic flow, site conditions and the safety of everyone using the entrance.

Vehicle access barriers at a modern commercial car park

Controlled vehicle access

Manage entry. Keep people in mind.

A gate provides a physical boundary; a barrier manages vehicle flow. Selecting the right arrangement means understanding the opening, traffic volumes, available space and how pedestrians, drivers and visitors will use the site.

System solutions

Choose the right approach.

Swing & sliding gates

Swing gates need a clear operating area; sliding gates need sufficient space beside the opening. Gate size, weight, wind loading, ground conditions and usage determine the structure and automation. An existing manual gate requires assessment before any automation is proposed.

Vehicle barriers

Rising-arm barriers suit car parks, service yards and controlled lanes. Arm length, operating frequency and vehicle detection are matched to traffic and queuing. A traffic barrier is not automatically a perimeter security gate or a rated hostile-vehicle protection system.

Credentials, intercom & ANPR

Readers, remote credentials, intercoms and compatible ANPR systems can manage authorised entry and visitor calls. Access decisions are coordinated with the wider site system, while the gate or barrier’s safety controller retains control of safe movement.

Safety & emergency access

Risk assessment considers crushing, shearing, trapping and foreseeable misuse. Guarding, safety edges and presence detection are selected as a coordinated solution. Vehicle loops or a single photocell are not, by themselves, sufficient protection for people.

Reliable automation depends on the gate structure, control system, safety measures and the surrounding site working together.

A site survey establishes traffic patterns, pedestrian routes, foundations, drainage, power and communication requirements. Groundworks and gate fabrication are coordinated with the chosen automation and expected duty cycle.

Powered gate safety requires a site-specific assessment and suitable protective measures. Where force limitation forms part of the protection, objective force testing is needed. We consider emergency release, power-loss behaviour and access for emergency services as part of the operating plan.

Commissioning should verify safety functions and access interfaces in the installed setting, not just individual components. Handover covers safe operation, release procedures and the inspection and maintenance responsibilities needed to keep the installation safe.
