Horizontal Swing Barriers

For sites that receive less frequent traffic, an automatic car park barrier may not be the most cost-effective access control solution. That’s why we supply a range of affordable, low-maintenance, and fully customisable horizontal swing barriers here at Expert Security UK.

Our horizontal swing car park barriers are powder-coated for extra durability and can be locked in the open or closed position, allowing you to secure your site or grant full access without needing security staff to be present at all times. In addition, we supply both single and double-leaf swing gates to fit the requirements of any site, and your fully bespoke swing barriers will be professionally installed by the Expert Security UK team to ensure their longevity.

If vertical lift manual barriers aren’t the best fit for your site, horizontal swing barriers could be an excellent alternative. Discover our range of swing barriers below.

    Applications of horizontal swing barriers

    Our swing barriers are designed for anywhere you see fit, for example:

    Industrial sites • Residential areas • Business parks • Retail areas

    Benefits of horizontal swing barriers

    1. Cost-effective

    Managing traffic on your premises is a crucial part of maintaining a smooth day-to-day operation. However, sometimes installing fully automated barriers and gates isn’t a cost-effective solution.

     

    Horizontal swing barriers provide businesses with a simple solution to controlling vehicle access without the need for installing expensive equipment or hiring extra security personnel. This means you can secure the perimeter of your site, deter trespassers, and restrict access for unauthorised vehicles without having to set aside a lot of money. Plus, since these manual barriers won’t need to be supplied with electricity, you won’t have to worry about running costs either.

    2. Low-maintenance

    Our swing gates are incredibly low maintenance, as they don’t require any electronic installation and can remain unmanned throughout your business day. Therefore, installation is much quicker and easier, and these swing car park barriers will be very simple to operate and maintain.

     

    The swing barrier gate simply remains locked in either the open or closed position, which allows you to restrict access to your site whenever you need to. This makes these swing gates ideal for sites with less frequent traffic, as you can simply lock your barriers and leave them unmanned while they aren’t in use.

    3. Bespoke
    Here at Expert Security UK, we supply single and double-leaf models of our horizontal swing barriers, which means we can install larger swing barriers to accommodate wider entrances and smaller ones to fit very narrow entrances. No matter the size or location of your site, we can supply and install a completely bespoke security and access control solution to keep your business secure, safe, and efficient.
