Car Park Barriers

Automatic and manual Car Park Barriers

To help you monitor and control vehicle entry and exit in car parks and restricted areas, Barriers Direct's offers versatile range of manual and automatic car park barriers. Designed with durability and ease of use in mind, our barriers are ideal for both commercial and residential applications, providing enhanced security, traffic flow management, and a welcoming experience for visitors.

Manual Raise Arm Barriers

Our Hi-Vis manual arm barrier is a robust, heavy-duty option crafted with a steel construction for enhanced stability and resilience. Featuring a double-legged pedestal, this barrier provides added support and durability. The aluminium boom, equipped with a counterweight and a comfortable handle grip, is available in lengths from 3 to 6 metres. This allows for secure entry control in various sized car parks and entry points.

For larger entrances, our heavy-duty manual arm barrier offers extended coverage with booms up to 9 metres long. Despite its reach, the barrier remains well-balanced, making it easy to raise and lower. Built with high-quality steel, it requires locking in an upright position for safety and can be customised with signage upon request.

Automatic Raise Arm Barriers

Our automatic car park barrier is a high visibility cost-effective, smooth-operating solution powered by an integral Telemecanique inverter-driven motor and gearbox. With a boom length of up to 4 metres, this barrier is ideal for medium-sized entry points and requires only a single-phase power supply, ensuring ease of installation and operation. Its aluminium cabinet is both sleek and sturdy, designed to house and protect the control unit and electric powered motors for years to come.

For versatile applications, our automatic raise arm barriers offer high durability and compatibility with a wide range of access control systems, suitable for both residential and commercial sites. Available with arm lengths between 3 and 6 metres, these barriers are designed to handle frequent use, are easy to install, allowing for reliable entry and exit management to prevent unauthorised access.

Our compact electronic boom barrier is another innovative option, perfect for smaller entrances or locations with limited access to power. This security barrier is constructed from aluminium, operates with either an internal battery or solar power, and is suitable for environments where channelling a traditional power supply might be challenging.

Automatic Bollards and Chain Barrier

One of our most advanced access control solutions is the automatic Bollards and Chain Barrier. This unique barrier system consists of two bollards equipped with an integrated gear motor and control panel, with a chain that raises and lowers below ground level to grant access. Ideal for private parking facilities, this barrier can also be used to manage pedestrian traffic and control access  of vehicles selectively.
