Manual raise arm barriers are essential security tools for managing vehicle access and ensuring controlled entry and exit in car parks. These barriers come in two primary types: the Standard Manual Raise Car Park Barrier and the Heavy-Duty Manual Raise Car Park Barrier. Both of our manual raise barriers provide a robust, reliable, and cost-effective solutions for various parking environments, from small car parks to large industrial facilities.
The Standard Manual Raise Car Park Barrier is designed to offer a straightforward, dependable solution for controlling vehicular access. It is ideal for applications where moderate traffic flow and security are required. This barrier features a durable construction, typically made from high-quality galvanised steel, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion. The standard barrier is easy to operate, requiring minimal effort to raise and lower the arm, making it user-friendly for attendants or security personnel.
One of the key benefits of the Standard Manual Raise Car Park Barrier is its simplicity and low maintenance. Without the need for complex electrical systems, this barrier is not prone to mechanical failures, making it an economical choice for many businesses. The barrier arm can be locked in both the raised and lowered positions using a padlock, enhancing security and preventing unauthorised access. This type of barrier is available in the following lengths: 2.0m, 2.5m, 3.0m, 3.5m, 4.0m, 4.5m, 5.0m, 5.5m, 6.0m, 6.5m and 7.0m.
Our Heavy-Duty Manual Raise Car Park Barrier is a stronger and heavy-duty barrier. This barrier is built to withstand higher traffic volumes and more demanding use, making it suitable for industrial sites, larger commercial properties, and areas with frequent vehicular movement. Constructed from reinforced steel, the Heavy-Duty barrier offers enhanced durability and resistance to impact, ensuring reliable performance even in harsh conditions.
The Heavy-Duty Manual Raise Car Park Barrier features a counterbalance mechanism that facilitates easy operation despite the increased weight and strength of the barrier arm. This mechanism allows the barrier to be raised and lowered smoothly and with minimal physical effort, ensuring that it can be used effectively by security staff. Additionally, the heavy-duty design often includes reinforced locking systems that provide higher security levels against tampering and unauthorised access.
Both the Standard and Heavy-Duty Manual Raise Car Park Barriers share several key features that make them valuable assets for any parking facility. Firstly, their manual operation eliminates the need for electrical connections, reducing installation costs and making them ideal for remote locations where power supply might be an issue. The barriers are designed for long-term use, with robust construction materials that offer excellent resistance to weather and wear.
The barriers’ simplicity translates to minimal maintenance requirements. Unlike automatic barriers, manual barriers do not have motors or electronic components that could fail or require regular servicing. This reduces the long-term operational costs and downtime, ensuring that the barriers provide reliable service year after year.
Moreover, the versatility of these barriers means they can be customised to meet specific site needs. They come in various arm lengths and can be fitted with additional security features such as reflective stripes for visibility, locking mechanisms for enhanced security, and signage to direct traffic flow.
Manual raise arm barriers are versatile and can be used in various settings. In commercial car parks, they help manage access and improve security by controlling entry and exit points. In industrial settings, they are used to secure entry points and manage vehicle flow, ensuring that only authorised vehicles can access the premises. They are also ideal for private parking areas, residential areas, and event parking, where temporary or permanent vehicle access control is necessary.
