INSTABOOM Barriers

The Perfect Alternative To Manned Security

The UKs first solar hybrid, instant deployment, work zone protection vehicle barrier.

INSTABOOM is the market leading solar hybrid portable barrier that is fully HSE compliant and UKCA marked. Built to meet the highest safety standards and also rugged enough to withstand being on a worksite INSTABOOM is the 'game changer' in highway safety. It is deployed in minutes to fully secure a road.

For use on all highways and SMART motorway projects INSTABOOM comes with remote telematics as standard and UK wide managed service if requested.

Still solar powered, the fully collapsible 4m boom can be deployed in minutes to secure a road. Combined with the GS6 height detection kit, INSTABOOM also provides a unique way to protect from over head strikes in work zones.

INSTABOOM GS6

Over Height Hazard Protection

This exceptional and unique addition to the INSTABOOM and SOSEC barrier is specially designed to protect overhead strikes in work zones. The Solar hybrid portable laser detection unit identifies any over height vehicle from up to 6m away, triggering a mobile barrier to close in front on the vehicle and securing the lane from over head strikes.

The GS6 profoundly improves work lane safety compared with traditional GS6 safety methods.

This brand new innovation also has a failsafe built-in which can leave the barrier open or closed in the event of sudden loss of power.

INSTABOOM Go

 Effortless Traffic Control

INSTABOOM Go is an entirely portable, remote controlled, solar powered automatic Stop/Go board that allows traffic to be controlled efficiently in an instant.

At just 23 kgs the flight case format has been designed to be deployed by just one person with ease and simplicity. Once deployed, the system is controlled from a safe distance, ensuring the safety of both the operator and motorists.

In connected mode, the devices operate using a robust two-way radio communication link, ensuring a reliable interaction. INSTABOOM Go has bespoke software meticulously designed with built-in safety protocols to prioritise user safety and operational efficiency. One of its key features is the prevention of "double go" scenarios, a critical safeguard that eliminates the risk of conflicting signals being sent simultaneously.

INSTABOOM Flagger

The UK's First Solar Micro-Barrier

INSTABOOM Flagger, is a portable, remote operated traffic control barrier. Designed to control and eliminate incursions within a temporary works area and providing effective pedestrian or cycle lane control.

INSTABOOM Flagger is fully solar-powered if used in sunlight and a massive 2 weeks of 10 hour shifts, allowing a single operative to deploy it in under a minute and operate the closure from a position of safety, up to 800m away, reducing the risk of accidents.

The rugged, mobile, flight case format, weighs just 22kg. The case and quick release pole, with RA2 reflective STOP sign and warning flag, can easily be carried and deployed by a single operative from the boot of a car. The closure is then operated by remote control from a safe place.

Gates

All of our gates are designed, manufactured and fitted to the highest standard. So you can have safe gates with reliable security and beautifully designed gate automation.

Barriers

Providing quick & simple traffic control, barriers are the most common method of managing traffic flow and parking in busy or sensitive areas. Barriers cover a vast range of options to suit all types of car parks and entrances - private, public, commercial or industrial.

Automatic Rising Bollards

Automatic rising bollards provide one of the most effective and rapid methods of hostile vehicle mitigation, preventing unwanted traffic and illegal access. Sleek and aesthetic design, rising bollards also form a discreet part of any building or street furniture.

With a range of impact ratings, up to PAS68 crash rated, they are the perfect security measure for sensitive sites such as car dealerships, airports, shopping centres and government buildings. With a rabge of budget bollards, they can also be used in residential areas on private parking bays to stop unwelcome parking on private property.

We start by finding out what the bollard is going to be used for, then we advise you on your options from our vast range, from small cost-effective units, right up to anti-terrorist bollards. Options include retractable or removable bollards, anti-ram bollards, rising bollards, manually-operated or automated.

Access Control

Your access control is the most important part of any installation.

We can make a gate swing or a barrier lift - that's the easy bit. But who for, when and how integrated the entrance is, is what makes it work for you.

Why not have a think about who you need to let in and who else you need to consider, as well as your budget, and let us make some suggestions?

Safety Audits

Safety is our top priority. From the initial installation, to the 1000th person who walks or drives through your Green Gate barrier or gate, every use needs to be as safe as the one before.

We don't just fit gates to the highest safety standards - we apply the strictest standards to safety. Gates are force tested to NSI/DHF:TS001:2019, built to BS EN13241-1, each with a machinery file and risk assessment. We take your safety and responsibility to others seriously. We also test existing gates and either bring them up to date or replace them to be safe.

Installation & Upgrades

New gates or old - we can fit bespoke or upgrade your existing permanent system. Invite us over for a free chat and quote. Safe. Secure. Cost-effective. Ask us about commercial; residential; schools; car parks; construction sites; highways; tourist sites.

Servicing & Maintenance

Our job doesn't end once we've fitted your new gates - we like to look after them throughout the year to give you peace of mind. Choose the best service plan for you.

When your gates are installed, they will have been through a number of rigorous tests to ensure not only that they run smoothly and reliably, but also that they are at the highest safety standard.

24/7 Repairs

We know that security is 24/7 - and that's why we make sure we can get an engineer out to you whatever time you have a breakdown. Our 24/7 service will get an engineer with you whatever the time of day or night. We understand that an interruption in security is a real problem and whilst our priority is safety, security must also be protected.

Just call our head office and speak with one of our service team. If it's out of hours, your call will automatically divert to the engineer on-call.

This service is for our own installations and others too, although a Gate MOT will be required for gates which we haven't previously worked on by us. All of our service plans include unlimited call-outs at no additional cost.
