Gate & Barrier Automation
Automated gates and vehicle barriers that open for who should get in, and log who did — without a guard manually working a lever all day.
Why it matters
Faster, safer entry
Vehicles in and out without a guard manually operating a barrier all day.
Controlled vehicle access
Same access rules and audit trail as your doors, extended to the gate.
Built-in safety
Sensors and fail-safes configured properly, not bolted on as an afterthought.
What this covers
- Automated swing, sliding, or boom barrier installation sized to the vehicle traffic and site
- Integration with access control, remotes, or number-plate recognition for hands-free entry
- Safety sensors and fail-safe configuration, so a gate never becomes a hazard
Frequently asked questions
Can a boom barrier read number plates automatically?
Yes — number-plate recognition (ANPR) can be integrated so recognized vehicles get hands-free entry without a guard or a remote, while unrecognized ones are stopped or flagged for manual checking.
What happens to an automated gate during a power cut?
Properly designed systems include backup power or a manual release, so the gate doesn't just lock everyone in or out the moment the power drops — this is a safety requirement we build in, not an optional extra.
How much vehicle traffic can a boom barrier handle per day?
It depends on the barrier's duty cycle rating — light-duty barriers suit low-traffic residential gates, heavy-duty ones handle constant commercial or industrial traffic. We size this to your actual vehicle volume, not a generic model.
