Parking & Security Barriers

Choose a manual barrier for occasional or staff-controlled access where someone can operate it directly. Choose an automatic barrier for more frequent vehicle movements or where entry needs to work with an access-control system.

A raise-arm barrier moves vertically and usually requires less space beside the entrance. A swing gate moves horizontally and needs a clear area into which the arm can open.

Do not assume that a standard parking barrier can safely stop a moving vehicle. Most parking and access barriers are intended to control entry rather than provide tested vehicle-impact protection. Use a suitably tested system where impact resistance is required.

Yes, automatic raise-arm barriers and automatic rising bollards generally require power and a suitable control arrangement.

A parking spacer marks the intended stopping position within a parking bay. It can help drivers park more consistently and maintain clearance from walls, walkways or equipment.

Use a height-restriction barrier where vehicles above a set clearance must be prevented from entering. Confirm the required height, entrance width and access needs before ordering.
