Automatic Arm Barriers

We supply a range of automatic arm traffic barriers (also known as car park barriers, boom barriers or security barriers) designed to accommodate various usage levels—from lighter applications to heavy-duty models built for 24/7 operation, perfect for environments such as hospitals and airport car parks.

Whether you need to protect small residential or larger commercial areas, our barriers offer the right solution for you. Our arm pole lengths typically range from 2m to 8m, with the electric barriers positioned tip to tip, making them ideal for securing expansive spaces, particularly our automatic raise arm car park barriers. These automatic barriers are designed so they can also be locked in an open position, allowing for free-flowing traffic during specific times, such as school open days or private events, in a similar manner to our automatic car park barriers. 

Our automatic arm barriers can be integrated with advanced access control systems, allowing for customisable access levels for different personnel, including staff, visitors, and contractors, making it an ideal solution for traffic control. Access can be managed through fobs, intercoms, and keypads, making it easy to control entry into restricted areas. We understand that different vehicles require different forms of security access, which is why our extensive range of customisations includes voice/video intercom access, stop signs, skirting, and more. We’d be happy to discuss your specific needs and help you find the perfect barrier system for your needs. Contact us today to explore the options best for your site!

Automatic Bollards

Automatic bollards, often referred to as electric bollards, are an increasingly popular solution for controlling vehicle access zones and managing traffic, similar to our automatic rising arm barriers, but with the added benefit of providing unrestricted pedestrian access in high footfall areas. They are easy to operate and provide a modern security solution with appealing aesthetics, perfect for residential and commercial entrance areas. Automatic bollards can be operated using various access controls, such as key fobs, remote controls, and traffic light signals, ensuring seamless entry into car parks and loading bays. You can choose between hydraulic or electro-mechanical power to deliver either fully automatic or semi-automatic mechanisms that effectively protect driveways, petrol stations, educational campuses, and other locations.

To enhance the aesthetic appeal of larger areas, consider complementing your automatic bollards with matching static bollards for a uniform style. For high-security needs, we proudly offer crash-rated bollards with lift assist operation. If you are looking for a more permanent fixture that maintains a clean and striking finish, explore our stainless steel bollards, which can complement our barrier system.

Automatic Gates

Our selection of automatic gates includes a wide variety of electric gates designed to enhance security against unauthorised entry, perfect for parking lots and parking spaces. Our popular range features bi-fold and sliding cantilever gates, which serve as excellent space-saving alternatives to traditional swing gates, perfect for any car park layout. These gates are equipped with various access control equipment to manage their operation effectively. For those seeking a more traditional style, our swing open gates range from 2 to 10 metres.

Automatic gates are low-maintenance and offer maximum security, making them ideal for factory sites, warehouses, schools, and stadiums. If you are in search of a residential gate, our driveway gates might be the perfect solution for vehicle entry and secure access needs.

Automatic Turnstiles

To maintain a steady flow of pedestrian traffic, our automatic turnstiles are constructed from high quality material and designed to control access effectively. Commonly seen at sports stadiums, gyms, construction sites, entertainment parks, and public grounds, we provide both automatic and push-operated models. Options include easy to install single and double canopies, designed to offer the flexibility to set one-way or two-way access for your customers and staff.

Barriers Direct: Why Choose Us? 

Barriers Direct offers top-quality security solutions with over 25 years of experience. We provide free delivery in Great Britain and a Best Prices Guarantee. Choose Barriers Direct for reliable and durable automatic access solutions, including our range of automatic car park barriers.

Swing Open Gates

A more traditional style gate, explore our range of swing open gates ranging from 2-10 metre in width.  With Barriers Direct, choose from the hinge position and various widths and heights to customisation extras like anti-climb spikes so you can be confident in your choice. 

Pedestrian Gates

For passenger access in construction and industrial areas, pedestrian gates are ideal for safely providing a walkway through secure perimeter fence lines. Available in semi-automatic, fully automatic as well as manual operation, they can be easily bolted onto our range of automatic gates to provide an additional access point. These popular gates are often installed alongside automatic turnstiles, providing disabled access that allows for wheelchair entry.  Alternatively our side and driveway gates offer a smart, modern alternative at very competitive prices. These are proving very popular with our customers!

Automatic Turnstiles

Keep your pedestrian traffic control flowing at a regular, controlled pace with automatic turnstiles. Often seen at sports stadiums but also popular in gyms, construction sites, entertainment parks and on public grounds, we provide automatic turnstiles as well as push-operated models with single and double canopies and the option of setting one-way or two-way access for your customers and staff.

“Service rating : Ordered and delivered. That goes without saying, but there I had a query about additional keys which was sorted quickly and efficiently through 'web chat'. Product : These were purchased to reserve parking spaces for paid users and for this they're fine. Wouldn't stop a ram raid but that's not their intended use.”
