Commercial Barriers – Sheffield Autogates
Commercial Barrier Installation in Sheffield & South Yorkshire
Sheffield Autogates Ltd supplies and installs commercial barriers for car parks, business premises, schools, industrial sites, residential developments, private roads and controlled vehicle entrances across Sheffield, South Yorkshire and the surrounding areas.
Commercial barriers are ideal where vehicle access needs to be controlled without installing a full gate system.
They provide a reliable way to manage traffic flow, restrict unauthorised vehicles and improve site security.
Automatic Rising Arm Barriers
Automatic rising arm barriers are commonly used on busy commercial sites where regular vehicle movement needs to be managed safely and efficiently.
Automatic barriers can be configured for entry control, exit control or both, depending on how the site operates.
They are suitable for:
Staff parking areas
Visitor entrances
Schools and colleges
Business parks
Industrial estates
Warehouses
Private roads
Residential developments
Delivery yards
Controlled service entrances
Heavy-Duty Commercial Barriers
For larger entrances or sites with high levels of vehicle traffic, heavy-duty automatic barriers can be specified. These are designed for frequent operation and are suitable for demanding commercial environments.
Barrier systems can be supplied with a range of boom lengths, cabinet styles and control options. Where required, barriers can also be fitted with lower skirts or hi-bar skirts to help discourage pedestrians from passing underneath the barrier arm.
Manual Barriers
Manual barriers can be suitable for lower-use sites, private entrances, occasional access points or locations where a powered automatic barrier is not required.
A manual barrier can provide a simple and cost-effective way to restrict vehicle access while still allowing authorised users to open and close the entrance when needed.
Barrier Access Control
Commercial barriers can be integrated with a wide range of access control systems to suit the site’s requirements.
The right system depends on who needs access, how often the barrier is used and whether the entrance is managed by staff, tenants, residents, visitors, contractors or security personnel.
Options include:
Keypads
GSM intercoms
Video intercoms
Proximity fob readers
Remote controls
Vehicle induction loops
Push-button control
Timed access control
ANPR systems where suitable
Smartphone app control
Reception or security office control
Safety and Vehicle Detection
Commercial barriers should be installed with appropriate safety and vehicle detection equipment. This can include photocells, safety edges, induction loops, warning signage, LED boom lighting, traffic lights and other control measures depending on the site.
Correct positioning and setup are important, especially on busy entrances where vehicles may queue or pedestrians may be nearby.
Customisation Options
Commercial barriers can be specified to suit the appearance and operational needs of the site.
Options may include:
Different boom lengths
LED boom lighting
Stop signs
Barrier skirts
Custom cabinet colours
Corporate colours or logos
Access control posts
Safety devices
Traffic light systems
