Barriers in car parks are physical structures designed to control the access and movement of vehicles within the parking area. They serve as a means to regulate entry, exit, and traffic flow, ensuring efficient and organised parking operations. Barriers can be found at entrance and exit points, as well as within the car park to divide different sections or control vehicle movement.
There are several types of barriers commonly used in car parks
Boom Barriers:
These are horizontal bars or arms that can be raised or lowered to allow or restrict vehicle access. Boom barriers are often operated electronically and can be controlled by ticketing systems, access cards, or remote controls.
Sliding Gates:
Sliding gates are solid panels that slide horizontally to open or close the entrance or exit of a car park. They are typically motorized and can be operated using various access control methods.
Swing Gates:
Swing gates are hinged at one side and swing open or closed like a door. They are commonly used at entry and exit points to control the flow of vehicles.
Height Restriction Barriers:
These barriers are designed to restrict access to vehicles above a certain height. They are often installed in car parks with limited clearance, such as underground or multi level car parks.
