Why install a Barrier Arm?

Automatic barriers are the perfect solution for shopping centres, hotels, residential blocks and public areas that require a safe, efficient and reliable access control system. They are often used in parking lots, driveways and other areas where it is necessary to control traffic flow. They are specifically designed for areas with medium to high transit intensity and can be customised with a wide range of add-on accessories to meet varied command and control needs.

How Barrier Arm Gates Operate

Barrier arm gates can be operated manually or automatically, depending on your site requirements. They can be opened and closed using a variety of control methods, including:

Push buttons
Keypads
Remote controls
Traditional key selector switches
Sensors
LAN transponder systems
Coin operated systems for single use access

Coin systems are a practical solution for hotels, sport centres, shops and restaurants visited by users who need temporary, quick and simple access. For employees, tenants and key customers, transponders and remote controls provide seamless, secure entry.

Multiple Types of Control

Barrier arms can be set to open and close at specific times

They can be open remotely via desktop application, mobile application, RFID or keypad entry
They can be integrated with vehicle number plate recognition
Allow free exit from your premises via an in ground loop detection system - this means you do not need to manually trigger the barrier arm to exit your premises
