Cable Gate
Cable gate is the perfect alternative to boom gates in caravan parks, or other areas that may be susceptible to vandalism or where a boom arm may pose an unacceptable risk for pedestrians walking in the area underneath the boom arm.
Automatic Rising Bollards
Automatic rising bollards can be used in a number of applications
- Automatic Rising Bollards can be used to create an airlock
when used in conjunction with an automatic sliding, swinging or cantilever gate system. This means that the bollard can lower allowing the car to drive through into the airlock, and raise again prior to sliding gate being fully open. This means only the car in the airlock can enter the site and tailgating cannot occur. - Automatic Rising Bollards can be an unobtrusive way of blocking a roadway, bicycle pathway or pedestrian walkway.
