What Is an Automatic Traffic Barrier?

An automatic traffic barrier is a motorised access control system designed to regulate vehicle entry and exit at commercial and industrial premises. They are commonly used at:

Lorry depots & distribution centres
Industrial estates
Commercial car parks
Warehouses & manufacturing facilities
Secure business premises

Barriers provide controlled access, improve site safety, and help manage vehicle flow in high-use locations.
