Boom Barrier Products & Services
Thirteen products, each specified to the entry it has to serve
Every product below sets out how it works, where it fits and the conditions it suits — so you can narrow the choice before we survey your site.
DKA-SFB 25
DKA-SFB 25 is a boom barrier model in the DK IT AND AUTOMATION SERVICES range, supplied with installation, commissioning and local service support.
How it works
The barrier housing is set beside the lane and the counter-balanced boom is driven up and down on command from a remote, a push button, a loop detector or a reader. Boom length, control inputs and safety devices are fixed against the measured lane and the traffic it carries, not chosen from a catalogue page.
Typical applications
- Society and campus gate entries
- Corporate and commercial parking lanes
- Factory and warehouse gates
- Entries that must stay controlled while unmanned
Benefits
- Installed and commissioned under load, not just delivered
- Accepts remote, button, loop or reader control
- Safety devices verified with real vehicles at handover
- Spares and service available locally
Suitable environments
Confirmed on survey. Model-level specifications are issued in writing on enquiry rather than published as generic figures here.
DKA-SFB 26
DKA-SFB 26 is a boom barrier model in the DK IT AND AUTOMATION SERVICES range, supplied with installation, commissioning and local service support.
How it works
The housing sits beside the lane and the counter-balanced boom is driven through roughly ninety degrees on command from a remote, a button, a loop detector or a reader. The exact configuration — boom length, control inputs and safety devices — is fixed against the measured lane and the traffic it carries.
Typical applications
- Society and campus gate entries
- Corporate and commercial parking lanes
- Factory and warehouse gates
- Entries that must stay controlled while unmanned
Benefits
- Installed and commissioned under load, not just delivered
- Accepts remote, button, loop or reader control
- Safety devices verified with real vehicles at handover
- Spares and service available locally
Suitable environments
Confirmed on survey. Model-level specifications are issued in writing on enquiry rather than published as generic figures here.

SLIDING GATE
A rack-and-pinion drive that opens and closes a sliding gate on command, supplied with rack sections, mounting hardware and remote handsets.
How it works
The motor unit is fixed on a foundation beside the gate and drives a toothed rack mounted along the gate leaf. Limits define the open and closed positions. The trigger can be a remote handset, a guard-post button or an access control release, and safety devices stop travel if the opening is obstructed.
Typical applications
- Society, bungalow and campus gates
- Factory and warehouse entries
- Service gates that are opened repeatedly through the day
- Staged entries where a boom handles routine traffic and the gate opens only when needed
Benefits
- Removes manual pushing of a heavy leaf
- Triggered from a remote, a guard post or access control
- Pairs with a boom barrier to create a fast lane
- Safety devices protect the moving opening
Suitable environments
Gates on a level, well-supported track with power available at the gate.
REDDER
A long-range UHF reader that identifies a tagged vehicle as it approaches the lane, so the barrier can be released without the driver stopping or handing anything over.
How it works
The reader is mounted on a pole or canopy facing the approach. When a tag fitted to the vehicle enters its read field, the credential is passed to the access controller, which decides whether that vehicle is allowed through and releases the barrier. Read range, mounting height and angle are set on site so that one lane is covered and the next is not.
Typical applications
- Resident and staff lanes at societies and campuses
- Corporate and IT park entries with heavy peak traffic
- Factory and warehouse gates with regular vehicle fleets
- Parking entries where queueing onto the road must be avoided
Benefits
- Hands-free entry keeps the lane moving at peak
- Every pass is identified and can be logged
- Tags can be issued and cancelled without changing hardware
- Works with the barrier, controller and safety devices as one system
Suitable environments
Lanes with a clear approach where a pole or canopy mounting can be positioned to cover one lane at a time.
ACESS CONTROL 2/4 DOOR
A panel that controls two doors with readers on both sides, so entry and exit are both identified and recorded rather than one direction being left open.
How it works
Readers on each side of both doors send the presented credential to the panel. The panel checks it against the permissions held for that user, then releases the lock or gives the open command. Because both directions are read, the record shows who went in, who came out and when, and anti-passback rules can be applied where required.
Typical applications
- Office entrances, server rooms and record rooms
- Production areas with restricted entry
- Society clubhouse, gym and utility rooms
- Any door that needs an in-and-out record, not just a lock
Benefits
- Two doors and both directions handled by one panel
- Permissions changed per person without rekeying anything
- Entry and exit records available for review
- Integrates with the barrier and gate automation on the same site
Suitable environments
Indoor doors with a power supply and a cable route to the panel; specification is confirmed on survey.
RFID Card
The credential a driver or user carries. Presented at the lane or door, it identifies the holder to the controller, which then decides whether to release the barrier or lock.
How it works
Each card carries a unique identifier. When it is read, the access controller checks that identifier against the permissions held for it and either grants or refuses the pass. Because the permission sits with the record rather than the card itself, a lost card is cancelled and a replacement issued without touching any hardware at the gate.
Typical applications
- Resident, staff and tenant access at societies and campuses
- Corporate and IT park entries, doors and parking lanes
- Factory and warehouse gates with contractor or shift access
- Sites that need a record of who passed and when
Benefits
- Issued, cancelled and reissued without changing gate hardware
- Permissions set per holder, per door and per lane
- Works with the barriers, gate automation and access panels we supply
- Every pass can be logged for review
Suitable environments
Any entry already fitted with, or being fitted with, a card reader. Card format and quantity are confirmed against your controller on survey.
SPEEDBREAKER - NEW
Modular moulded plastic speed breaker sections that bolt to the road surface and enforce a slow approach speed. Size: 350 × 250 × 50 mm per section. Colours: yellow and black.
How it works
Sections interlock across the lane to the width you need and are bolted down to the surface. The alternating yellow and black run reads clearly in daylight, and the reflective inserts keep it visible at night, so drivers slow before they arrive rather than at the barrier.
Typical applications
- Barrier and gate approach lanes
- Basement ramps and parking entries
- Society and campus internal roads
- Factory yards and pedestrian crossing points
Benefits
- Slows vehicles before they reach the boom
- Modular — laid to the exact lane width
- Removable and relocatable, unlike a concrete hump
- Daytime and night-time visibility built in
Suitable environments
Any surfaced lane where the sections can be bolted down.
SOLOR ROAD STUD
An LED road stud with its own solar panel and battery — it charges through the day and actively lights the lane after dark. Supplied without a shank for surface fixing. Dimensions: 100 × 100 × 20 mm.
How it works
The integrated panel charges an internal battery while there is daylight. When ambient light drops, the LEDs light so the stud emits light rather than only reflecting it. Because there is no shank, it is fixed to the prepared surface instead of being cored deep into the road.
Typical applications
- Unlit approach roads and internal campus roads
- Ramp edges and level changes
- Approach lanes to a barrier or toll point
- Society and factory gate approaches
Benefits
- Active light is seen far earlier than reflection alone
- No mains cabling or trenching
- Surface fixing avoids deep coring
- Marks the lane before the driver reaches the barrier
Suitable environments
Outdoor positions that receive daily sunlight, on a sound surface suitable for fixing.
ALUMINIUM
Cast aluminium reflective studs set into the carriageway to keep lane lines, edges, ramps and turning points visible at night and in rain. Dimension: 100 × 100 × 20 mm.
How it works
A metal body carries reflective lenses on the faces presented to traffic. Light from a headlight entering the lens is returned towards the driver, so the stud marks the line without any power supply or cabling. The body is fixed into the road surface so that vehicles pass over it rather than around it.
Typical applications
- Society and campus internal roads
- Basement ramps and parking aisles
- Approach lanes to a boom barrier or gate
- Factory and warehouse yards
Benefits
- No power supply, wiring or maintenance schedule
- Stays visible in rain and low light
- Metal body takes repeated vehicle loading
- Holds lane discipline where painted markings wear away
Suitable environments
Surfaced roads, ramps and aisles where a permanent fixing can be made into the surface.
MIRROR
A wide-angle convex mirror that opens up the view at a blind corner, ramp head or gate exit, so a driver can see what a wall or column hides.
How it works
The curved reflective face compresses a wide field of view into one glance, and the hood shades it against direct rain and glare. It is mounted on a wall, column or pole at the point where the sightline is blocked, angled to cover the movement that actually causes the conflict.
Typical applications
- Basement ramp turns and aisle intersections
- Blind corners inside parking areas
- Gate exits onto a public road
- Warehouse aisles and loading yards
Benefits
- Removes a blind spot without rebuilding anything
- No power supply required
- Helps drivers and pedestrians at the same point
- Hood limits rain and direct glare on the face
Suitable environments
Indoor and outdoor positions with a firm wall, column or pole to mount against.
Flexible Spring Post 750 mm PUSP
A 750 mm flexible post on a spring base. Struck by a vehicle it folds over and springs back upright, so the lane marking survives the kind of contact that snaps a rigid bollard.
How it works
The post bolts down to the surface through its base flange. The spring section immediately above the base absorbs the impact and lets the post lie down, then returns it to vertical once the vehicle has passed. Reflective banding around the post keeps it visible after dark and under headlights.
Typical applications
- Separating entry and exit lanes at gates and parking entries
- Marking no-parking areas, ramps and pedestrian walkways
- Protecting the approach to a boom barrier or gate island
- Temporary or seasonal lane changes that have to be moved later
Practical benefits
- Recovers from impact instead of shearing off and needing replacement
- Reflective bands give visibility at night without power or wiring
- Bolt-down base means it can be repositioned as the layout changes
- Low maintenance — nothing to service beyond keeping it clean
Suitable environments
Surfaced areas that can take a bolted base. Quantity, spacing and layout are confirmed against your site on survey; we do not publish load or dimension figures beyond the 750 mm post height stated in the product name.
Parking Barrier System
Entry and exit lane control for parking areas, built around throughput. The barrier is one part; lane layout, credential type and stacking space decide whether your gate backs up onto the road.
How it works
Entry and exit are normally separated, each with its own barrier and reader or ticket unit. Loop detectors confirm a vehicle is present and clear before the boom closes. Residents and staff use tags or cards; visitors use tickets or a guard-issued credential, with the controller distinguishing between them.
Typical applications
- Shopping mall and commercial basements
- Office podium and multi-level parking
- Society parking with resident and visitor flows
- Hospital paid parking
Benefits
- Cycle time matched to peak arrival rate
- Separate handling of regular and visitor vehicles
- Safety devices prevent closing on a stopped vehicle
- Occupancy and entry records where required
Suitable environments
Basements, podiums and surface parking with room for vehicles to wait clear of the public road.
