Frequently Asked Questions

Are Your Automated Swing Traffic Barriers Safe?

Indeed, they are – we only supply and install good quality automatic gate systems that meet Health and Safety standards in all respects. They come with safety devices like safety induction loops or safety photocells as standard. Please contact us for detailed specifications.

Are Automatic car park barriers adjustable?

We have various pole lengths available, and the motor and gearbox can cope with many hundreds of operations day and night. We can offer automatic barriers that allow for raising and lowering speed adjustment or those that come with standard parameters. We’ll survey your site and recommend the best type of automated barrier to suit your requirements.

What happens to an automated traffic barrier if there’s a power cut?

Like any electric powered gate, swing traffic barriers can be opened with a manual override key. Continued operation can take place by manually raising or lowering the boom, or it can be locked in place either open to closed until the power is turned back on.
