How do automatic car park barriers work?
Car park barriers operate by an electronic mechanism that lifts and lowers a barrier arm. This movement can be triggered by various control systems, which range from simple remote controls to complex integrated security systems with vehicle identification capabilities.
The operation of these arm barriers can be tailored to meet specific security needs.
How much do automatic traffic barriers cost?
The cost of automatic traffic barriers varies depending on the type, complexity, and additional features of the barrier system. At Gates Scotland Ltd, we offer competitive pricing without compromising quality and durability.

Where are automatic barriers normally used?
Electric barriers provide a cost-effective and efficient method of managing traffic and enhancing site security.
These arm barriers are commonly used in various locations such as commercial car parks, residential complexes, toll booths, and industrial sites/industrial premises to control vehicle access.
How often do electric traffic barriers need to be maintained?
Maintenance frequency for electric traffic barriers can depend on their usage and environment. Typically, an automatic 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 reliable control over vehicular access to their premises. These vehicle barrier systems play an essential role in security, protection and car park management, preventing access to unauthorised vehicles, 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. For additional protection, a bottom skirt prevents pedestrians from going under the parking barriers.

What safety and accessories are available for an arm barrier?
Safety is paramount in the design and operation of a car park barrier. 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 the usability and security of parking barriers.
Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) can be used to control the entry/exit of vehicles from your premises or car park. Safety photocells and laser curtains are also available with our car park barrier systems.
What boom lengths are available (barrier arm length)?
Beam length is dictated by the road space available. We have 3m to 8m booms available, along with a bottom skirt if required.
Double barrier setups can be used for larger openings (for example, 2 x 5m boom length gate barriers).
Can ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) be used with traffic barriers?
Yes, we can install ANPR systems with your automatic barrier, along with many other access control options.
