If you want to regulate access to your premises or parking garage, but do not have the risks that call for road blockers or bollards, a barrier gate is a simple and customer-friendly solution. Barrier gates have an open appearance and are a frequently used and accepted measure in the field of site security. But how do you ensure that the flow of vehicles of employees is secure and yet fast? What are the possibilities of license plate recognition, biometrics or mobile devices? How do you deal with granting access to visitors? The possibilities are very extensive; we are happy to tell you everything about barrier gates.

All about Barrier Gates

A barrier gate regulates (intensive) traffic flows to and from your site or parking area. We all know the principle of a barrier gate, but there are many possibilities that make a barrier gate as a security solution just that little bit better. When it comes to access control and optimizing the flow of traffic, user-friendliness is the key word.

For example, we can use license plate recognition for employees or registered visitors. Another step further is the use of a mobile phone with QR code or even a biometric reader for granting access. In this way, we can make the barrier gate an integral part of your self service access management. As soon as your visitor reports to the barrier gate, he is assigned a parking space, for example, and his contact person is immediately informed that his visit has arrived. If a QR code is used, access rights for the required area can also be granted directly. In this way, security makes a significant contribution to hospitality.

Variants of Barrier Gates

We often use barrier gates at office buildings, logistics service providers and industry. To ensure that only 1 vehicle passes through a barrier gate at a time, barrier gates can be placed as a lock. This also provides opportunities to build an extra verification (identification) into your access granting process.

Of course, you can get the housing of the barrier gate in any desired RAL color and the crash posts are available as a fixed or flexible (hinged) model. They can be equipped with LED lighting and electromagnetic locking. In addition, with some barrier gates you can accurately adjust the speed and force. Expect a maximum length of a barrier gate of 6 meters. Need help?

Standardization of Barrier Gates

Mactwin is a knowledge company. We put a lot of energy into gathering, sharing, and safeguarding knowledge about perimeter security; within our organization and beyond. You can see this reflected in the expertise and commitment with which our experts implement your solution.

Standards have been drawn up for barrier gates. As a basis, we use the European standards such as NEN-EN 13241:2016 and ISO/IWA 14-1:2013. In the field of vehicle security, a barrier gate does not score very high. For applications within industries with a high risk of ram attacks, we recommend other measures, such as security gates, speed gates, bollards or road blockers. However, barrier gates are crucial for vehicle flows on and near your site, so they are extensively tested for their operation. However, a standardized product says nothing about the quality of your total security. We ensure that all measures are built up in balance and coherence with each other, so that you can always offer the resistance and delay that are important for your organization.
