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.

Right barrier, right budget: We advise on the best solution for your needs, not the easiest sell.
Fully integrated systems: From traffic lights and signage to payment systems, all in one install.
3-level fail-safe detection: Every barrier built to the latest EN safety standards as standard.
Private, public, commercial, industrial: Whatever the site, we'll design around it.

Managing your Traffic and Parking Problems
The choice of parking barrier is critical to the application and there is a vast range of options to suit, but we will advise you on the best for your budget and needs.

We can design and install systems to your precise requirements, which may include the following:

Articulated or rounded beams.
Skirting under beams (prevents 'ducking under').
Height restrictor barriers.
Traffic lights.
Anti-vandal measures.
Sounders.
Traffic signage ('stop' / 'no entry').
Vehicle counting systems.
Full integration with payment systems.

Safety
Safety is always at the heart of every system we install and barriers typically have at least 3 levels of 'fail-safe' obstacle detection fitted as standard. This ensures compatibility to the latest EN standards and allows our installations to work safely for all levels of user.

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.

Up to PAS68 crash rated: From budget residential units to full anti-terrorist specification.
Hostile vehicle mitigation: One of the most effective methods of stopping unauthorised access.
Discreet by design: Sleek, unobtrusive installations that suit any building or streetscape.
3-level fail-safe detection: Every system built to the latest EN safety standards as standard.

Automatic Rising Bollards Provide One of the Most Effective Methods of Stopping Unwanted Traffic and Illegal Access
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 range 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 removeable bollards, anti-ram bollards, rising bollards, manually-operated or automated.

Safety is always at the heart of every system we install and bollards typically have at least 3 levels of 'fail-safe' obstacle detection, or user warning fitted as standard. This ensures compatibility to the latest EN standards and allows our installations to work safely for all levels of user.

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?

Secure Access: Control who enters your site.
Remote Control: Manage access from anywhere.

Safety Audits

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

Force tested to TS011:209: Every gate assessed to the exact standard required by law.
Full machinery file included: Risk assessment, UKCA declaration and consumer handover pack as standard.
DHF & GateSafe members: Accredited by the leading gate safety authorities in the UK.
Any gate, any age: We audit, upgrade or replace systems we didn't originally install.

Safety Audits
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.

Book a Gate MOT/Safety Audit to make sure your gates are safe and compliant.
Before we work on any gate, whether it be residential or commercial, we carry out a safety assessment, what we call a Gate MOT. For installations, this is all undertaken as part of your service plan.

For gates not previously installed by us, when there is a breakdown or maintenance issue, we must first carry out a safety MOT to understand how it works, as liability rests with us, the moment we start looking at it!

During a gate MOT, we assess the gate/barrier you have and then, the options are:

Fix: Fix the problem.
Recommendations: Make recommendations for improvements or upgrades to what you already have.
Suggest: Suggest a replacement if current safety standards cannot be achieved with current gate.

Gates and barriers are classed as machinery and with strict safety guidelines in place, our engineers are required to document all we do, including force tests, checking all working parts and ensuring the gate or barrier will not fail, with the risk or injury or worse.

It's important that your gate or barrier is 'safe and maintained', at least annually, so that any defects can be picked up and fixed.

Gate MOT
Our gate MOT includes a full safety assessment, force test and production of a machinery file and safety report. We also check that the gate/barrier/bollard is opening and closing correctly, the access control is as it should be, everything is clean and lubricated and ensure any problems are fixed or highlighted.

Recommended yearly, once on a service plan, we will remind you when your next service and Gate MOT is due, so you never have to remember or worry that you've missed it.

A GATE MOT GIVES YOU THE PEACE OF MIND THAT YOUR GATE IS SAFE AND SECURE

Inclusive of:
For new clients, a gate MOT costs £299 + VAT for a one-off test and report, which includes as minimum:

Force test in accordance with TS011:2019.
Risk assessment to IOSH standards.
Machinery files as specified in the machinery directives.
Declaration of UKCA Conformity and/or declaration of TS011 compliance.
Consumer handover pack.

You can book a one-off MOT of take out one of our service plans which includes not only the yearly MOT but also breakdown of callouts and servicing too. If you take out a service plan after an MOT, we will refund the MOT charge.

We are required to test to technical standards by law and the benefit to our customers is a safe gate with documentation required by law and their insurance company.

Service Plans
Our job doesn't end once we've fitted your site barrier - we like to look after you throghout the year to give you peace of mind. Choose the best service plan for you.

Once your barriers 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.

We will check how it's working, identify any faults, damage and potential for failure that may affect your security.

Whether we are fitting new barriers or servicing/repairing those we didn't install, we always recommend an ongoing service plan to ensure that not only will they be safety checked regularly, but also identify problems, hopefully avoiding call-out fees.

Berlex Traffic and Pedestrian Signals

R6 Portable Traffic Signals
Cloud-based portable traffic signals delivering safe, flexible control anywhere in the world.

TOPAS-Approved & compliant: Meets UK regulatory standards straight out of the box.
Real-time remote control: Monitor, adjust and fault-respond from any device, without visiting site.
Dual-SIM connectivity: Automatic network switching keeps every signal live, wherever it's deployed.
Unlimited heads & phases: Shuttle working, multi-phase and pedestrian crossings all managed from one platform.

TOPAS-Approved cloud connected traffic signals with real-time control
The Berlex R6+ is a portable traffic signal system with two parts: the signal head on site and the BerlexConnect cloud system behind it.

The signal head is the physical traffic light unit. It includes the lights, battery and on-site control base. BerlexConnect is built into the signal head and adds the remote functionality, connecting each signal to the internet so you can monitor and control it from anywhere.

Through BerlexConnect you have real-time visibility of signal status, battery level, system heath and location. If there's a fault, vandalism or theft, you're notified instantly and can act without travelling to site.

Each signal uses dual-SIM connectivity, switching networks automatically if one drops, so communication stays active without interruption. Mobile network coverage is the only requirement, there are no distance limits.

Single or multi-phase operations can be configured from a phone, tablet or laptop, with unlimited signal heads and phases managed through the same platform. Shuttle working, multi-phase setups and pedestrian crossings are all supported.

Add single or multiple users to receive real-time low battery alerts, so your team is acting on live information rather than guesswork. Solar charging is also available to extend the time between battery chargers.

CONTROL: Fully controlled via BerlexConnect on mobile, tablet or laptop. No site attendance required.
CONNECTIVITY: Dual SIM mobile network with automatic switching for continuous operation.
CONFIGURATION: Unlimited signal heads and phases. Suitable for shuttle, multi-phase and complex traffic layouts.

TOPAS Approved cloud connected pedestrian signals with real-time control
The Berlex R6+ pedestrian signal system is made up of two parts: the pedestrian crossing unit on site, and the BerlexConnect cloud platform behind it.

The pedestrian unit is the hardware you see on site. It includes the push-button unit, display pole and base. It controls pedestrian crossing operation locally and is designed for reliable use on temporary sites. BerlexConnect is built into the unit and adds to the remote functionality, connecting it to the mobile network so it can be monitored and controlled from anywhere.

Through BerlexConnect you have real-time visibility of signal status, battery levels, system health and location. If there's a fault, vandalism or theft, you're notified instantly and can respond without travelling to site.

Each unit uses dual-SIM connectivity, switching networks automatically if one drops, so the system stays connected without interruption. Mobile coverage is the only requirement, there are no distance limits.

Single or multi-phase operations can be configured from a phone, tablet or laptop, with multiple units managed through the same platform. Multi-phase layouts and high-footfall areas are all supported.

CONTROL: Managed via BerlexConnect on mobile, tablet or laptop.
