Traffic Barriers

Access Automation Ltd supplies traffic barriers in either electro-mechanical or electro-hydraulic drive format. These are ideal for vehicle control on commercial sites, especially in car parks. Not only do we supply these great products, but we’ll also install them for you if required. They can be controlled using a variety of manual or electrically operated systems and have an opening speed setting of 2-12 seconds. Manuel barriers employ counterbalanced vertical lift boom arms, while electrical barriers are supplied by a 240V single phase power source. Beam sizes span from 2 meters up to 8 meters and can be finished in a choice of colours or in simple stainless steel.

Road Blockers

Road blockers are an ideal heavy duty method of preventing vehicle access to sites for protection of property from theft. With designs varying from 'street furniture' style to industrial heavy duty units, our road blockers offer fast, reliable and secure access to and from your site. So how do they work? Hydraulic rams power a rising kerb which prevents unwanted vehicle access in manned and unmanned vehicle parks. An innovative programmable logic controller co-ordinates the hydraulics, access control and traffic light signals. Access control options include proximity cards, radio, tokens, keypads or intercoms. Available in a range of widths and heights, these are the ideal deterrent against even the most determined intruder.

Turnstiles

Available to be fitted internally or externally, our turnstiles are a practical method of controlling pedestrian access to your site. We offer a range of models, from standard manual units to high-spec automated internal units, offering a flexible approach to the issues of aesthetics, security and functionality. These mild steel or stainless steel constructions with three-arm 120 degree rotas or four-arm 90 degree rotas have been used at a number of different sites, including industrial premises, transportation areas, airports, offices and leisure centres. All of our access control systems can be used in conjunction with our turnstiles.

Access Control

Our in-house team of design engineers are continually developing innovative, tailor-made pedestrian access systems. These have opening speeds as fast as 3.5 seconds and feature built-in safety mechanisms. Our access solutions are controlled by numerous systems, including Radio, hardwired intercoms, wireless intercoms, keypads, proximity cards, swipe cards, vehicle detection ground loop systems, and long range vehicle proximity systems.

Signals from the loop detectors are received by the counting system in order to maintain the number of vehicles entering and exiting certain areas. The data received then computes display information and/or alarm signals. Various counting systems are available including: Entrance Picture, Counter, Full Sign, Space/ Full Sign and Spaces Free Sign. Please visit our website to view images and to find out more about our car park count systems.
