Traffic Barriers
Traffic Barriers
Traffic barriers play a vital role in controlling vehicle access, improving safety, and protecting both people and property across industrial and commercial environments. Whether managing entry points, securing restricted areas, or guiding traffic flow, the right barrier system ensures efficient and reliable operation.
In this section, we explore a range of solutions to suit different site requirements, from traditional manual barriers for low-traffic areas, to automatic barriers that provide convenient, high-frequency access control, and heavy-duty barriers designed to withstand demanding environments and intensive use.
Manual Barriers
Introduction
The manually operated barrier is an ideal choice to protect unattended or low traffic sites, with minimal investment. These are available to suit road widths up to 6m with a standard 76mm diameter boom, and up to 9m with our heavy duty 100mm diameter boom. As standard, Manual Barrier come complete with pre-set counterweights, an adjustable tip support and expanding anchor bolts. Installation is quick and simple – the barrier can easily be installed by one person, and is simply bolted down to a suitable concrete base. Operation is just as simple, the counterweights allow effortless boom movement, and a latch is provided to lock the barrier in either the up or down position with a facility to allow you to fit a padlock.

The stanchion has a clean contemporary appearance with an enclosed bearing for maximum longevity. Counterweights balance the boom and minimise the effort needed to operate the barrier.
Locking
Locking
A slide latch is fitted to allow the barrier to be latched in the closed or raised position. A facility to fit a padlock in either position is also provided (padlock not supplied).
Optional Items
A lower skirt can be fitted to the barrier at additional cost, and high visibility STOP or NO ENTRY signs may be specified to the boom.
Automatic Barriers
Introduction
The automatic barrier is one of the most popular barriers in our range since due to its smart appearance and ease of set up. The barrier is available to cover carriageways of up to 7m with a plain boom or 5m with a full hi-bar upper and lower skirt. The automatic barrier can be fitted with lower skirts or hi-bar skirts to deter pedestrians from bypassing the barrier and LED boom lights combined with STOP signs add to the visibility of the barrier to drivers in all weather conditions. Our automatic barrier is suited to the most demanding applications with the highest level of traffic flow. A complete safety system can be configured, with safety edges to the bottom of plain booms, photocell protection and induction loop vehicle detection combining to ensure that your barriers are fully compliant with the latest safety guidelines.

Our barriers are fitted with a State of the art Feig controller that Incorporates a 3-Phase Inverter. This controls all motor speeds for ultimate control and efficiency.
Encoder
Encoder
To enhance control and safety, all barriers are now fitted with an absolute encoder as standard. This ensures smooth boom movement and also incorporates force detection, providing a further layer of safety with a reverse function if contact with an obstacle is detected.
Barrier Design
Barrier Design
The cabinet has a clean contemporary appearance with fully removable clamshell covers to both sides to allow complete access to all internal components. Unlike many heavy duty barriers there are no counterweights which removes a potential trapping hazard and reduces the required installation space.
Skirt
Skirt
A lower skirt or hi-bar upper and lower version can be fitted to the barrier at additional cost, and high visibility STOP or NO ENTRY signs and LED boom lights may be specified to the boom.
Drive
The barrier is driven using a 3-Phase Motor/Gearbox providing 100% duty cycle. The motor is controlled via an inverter which means the barrier only requires a 230vac single phase supply
Heavy Duty Automatic Barriers
Introduction
Our heavy duty automatic barrier extends the capability of our automatic barrier. With a fresh new look designed to reflect the contemporary appearance of the standard barrier, the heavy duty automatic barrier can protect road widths of up to 9m. The redesign utilizes an enhanced motor and gearbox assembly which has eliminated the need for counterweights. Obviously this also removes the trapping hazards associated with traditional counter weighted barriers, and reduces the space required for installation. As with all our barriers, a complete safety system can be configured, with safety edges to the bottom of plain booms, photocell protection and induction loop vehicle detection Lower skirts, or hi-bar skirts cam be fitted and we offer a complete customization service with colour combinations and logos available to match your corporate look.
