RISING BARRIERS FROM INTEGRATED FENCING

Rising barriers are probably the most simple and yet cost-effective and functional of the many types of security gating on the market. Often seen on car parking facilities and toll booths they consist of an electronic mechanically controlled heavy-duty arm that blocks access to vehicular traffic. It rises after presentation of some sort of authorisation or payment and then lowers again after passage.

Design and Install Raising Barriers

We design and install automatic rising barriers at tailored widths to suit your requirements. Our expert installers can fit them at heights of between 1 and 1.2 metres. Not only are they quality items but they are also fantastic value for money.

Our barriers can be coloured to match existing installations or your company branding. We can colour match posts and we also supply Anti-tamper Fittings. We can also design and manufacture skirts from a range of materials and introduce custom designs for them.

With an Access Control Package which can be tailored to suit your specific requirements, all of our gates can be automated by one of our DHF certified engineers. We always incorporate safety features on automated barriers like photocell sensors that halt them when obstructed.

ADVANTAGES OF A RISING BARRIER

  • SIMPLICITY

Rising barriers are of reasonably simple construction with very few moving parts, They are also also very versatile. Depending on their weight and the strength of the lifting mechanism it is possible to span a gap of up to 10 metres with a single barrier.

  • ECONOMY

Rising barriers are normally very cost effective when compared with other more complicated automated barrier gates. Programming the automated rising and lowering of a barrier is also less complicated. This combined with the fact that they are constructed from a simple tubular bar with possibly (but not always) some form of skirt, means that manufacturing and installation costs are lower than other barriers.

  • DURABILITY

Rising barriers are normally constructed from very robust materials. The hydraulic lifting mechanisms and electronic controls do not take up much space and can be easily shielded from the elements. This makes them all-season ready for continuous use with a 100% duty cycle.

  • IN VEHICLE CONTROLS

For speed and efficiency, the ability of an authorised person to trigger raising of the barrier without leaving their vehicle is often desirable. This can be accomplished through a proximity card with card reader located on an access pedestal, a fob with a remote control mechanism operated from inside a vehicle and even a mobile phone contactless authorisation app.

USES FOR A RISING BARRIER

This type of barrier is mainly deployed for restricting access to a controlled area or a designated point of entry or exit. They are used for authorising access, collecting fees and tolls, traffic calming and re-routing and verifying permitted exit from a controlled area. They are also commonly found at checkpoints and border controls.

CONTROLLING A RISING BARRIER

Access control systems have come on in leaps and bounds. The control possibilities are almost endless. Authorised access control mechanisms include remote control, fob taps on a sensing plate ID card swipes, number plate recognition systems and others.

In addition, many safety control features can be incorporated including alarms, flashing beacon lights and vehicle sensor photocells that halt the barrier closing process the moment it connects with some sort of obstruction.

Of course not all control systems use the latest tech for autonomous operation. It is still popular to wire a rising barrier up to a control room either close by or remote where an operator pushes an old fashioned button to raise the barrier.

They are used for authorising access, collecting fees and tolls, traffic calming and re-routing and verifying permitted exit from a controlled area. They are also commonly found at checkpoints and border controls.

They have a vertical lift or rising (pivoting) movement to allow or restrict vehicle access by covering very wide roadways. They can be integrated with warning signs, lights, and signals to warn the drivers about the barriers.

–        Sturdily built using substantial steel sections
–        Lockable in the raised and lowered positions
–        Fully counterbalanced to accommodate all types of operatives
–        External operating handle to avoid trapping

All manual rising barriers require regular servicing and we strongly recommend that you do not undertake your own maintenance work, poor servicing could result in damage to your product or injury, please let the professional work with you to preserve the life of you new product.

It did not go unnoticed that you were put in a very difficult predicament by the failings of our ground works contractor but despite this, you and your team stuck at it working late nights and weekends to help us achieve the completion date. It’s very rare to see a Managing Director rolling his sleeves up to help his team out but you did this on numerous occasions in atrocious weather conditions and on weekends and for this we cannot thank you enough.

This leads me on to your site team who worked extremely close with our site team for the duration of the project and despite the extreme weather and ground conditions they simply got on with it. They’re attitude and willingness to complete the job in hand is fantastic, this together with the standard of work produced all makes for a winning team.

I have worked with numerous quality men over the last 30 years, and this has to be up there as one of the best. Please pass on our thanks to your team. Thanks again for your efforts on the project and we wish you every success in the future and hope your business grows. It has been a pleasure working with you on YGGT and we look forward to the prospect of working with you in the near future.
