Not every entrance wants a gate. Where the requirement is throughput (a staff car park, a delivery yard, a retail site with abuse of its spaces), a rising-arm barrier moves far more vehicles far faster, and takes far less room to do it.
We install and maintain rising-arm barriers, automatic and semi-automatic bollards, retractable and fixed bollard lines, and road blockers. Barriers pair naturally with ANPR, ticketing and induction-loop detection, so access can be automatic for known vehicles and controlled for everyone else.
Where the requirement is genuine hostile-vehicle mitigation rather than access management, that is a different specification with impact-tested products to IWA 14 or PAS 68. We will tell you plainly which of the two you actually need, because the cost difference is substantial.
Throughput over obstruction
A barrier clears a vehicle in a couple of seconds where a sliding gate takes fifteen. On a busy car park that difference is the whole design.
Honest about impact rating
Access control and hostile-vehicle mitigation are different products at very different prices. We specify to the threat you actually have.
Civils included
Barriers and bollards live or die on their foundations and drainage. We do that groundwork rather than sub it out and hope.
