The operation of these barriers can be tailored to meet specific security needs.

Where are automatic barriers normally used?

They provide a cost-effective and efficient method of managing traffic and enhancing site security.
How often do electric traffic barriers need to be maintained?
Maintenance frequency for electric traffic barriers can depend on their usage and environment. Typically, a barrier that experiences high traffic flow might require more regular checks and maintenance.
Gates Scotland Ltd recommends a regular maintenance schedule to ensure your automatic barriers remain in top condition.
How are automatic traffic barriers controlled for access?
Automatic traffic arm barriers can be controlled via several methods including remote controls, keypads, token or card systems, or advanced systems that recognise vehicle registration plates.
At Gates Scotland Ltd, we work with our clients to implement a control system that best suits their needs.
Why do businesses need traffic barriers?
Traffic barriers provide businesses with control over vehicular access to their premises. They play an essential role in security and car park management, preventing unauthorised vehicles from access, managing traffic flow, and providing a safe and orderly parking environment.
Car park management is crucial for areas where parking is abused, to protect your parking spaces. A bottom skirt prevents pedestrians going under the parking barriers.

What safety and accessories are available for an arm barrier?
Safety is paramount in the design and operation of car park barrier barriers. These systems often include safety features such as infrared sensors or pressure sensitive edges that stop the car park barrier, if an obstacle is detected. Regular maintenance checks are crucial to ensure these safety features function correctly.
We also offer a variety of accessories for our traffic barrier systems, including LED boom lights for visibility, signage, remote controls, token or card systems for access control, and many others to enhance usability and security of parking barriers.
ANPR – Automatic number plate recognition can be used to control the entry/exit of vehicles from your premises or car park. Safety photocells and laser curtains are also available.

Beam length is dictated by the road space available. 3m to 8m booms are available, along with bottom skirt if required.
Double barrier setups can be used for larger openings (for example, 2 x 5m boom length barriers.)
Can ANPR - Automatic number plate recognition be used with traffic barriers?
Yes we can install ANPR systems with your barrier, along with many other access control options.
