Manual barriers vs automatic barriers
One way to keep unauthorised people out is by installing a barrier. Great for closing locations to traffic temporarily or for a longer period. This can be manually controlled or automated. What are the pros and cons of this? Manual barriers vs automatic barriers.Barriers from Geran Access Products B.V.
Geran Access Products works with barriers from the Turnstar and Fadini brands. The ideal way to close off construction sites, industrial areas, shopping areas, storage areas and car parks from vehicles, for example. They can be placed in basically any location. The barriers have a round or octagonal shape, are powder-coated and have a length of 2.5 metres to 6 metres. The Velocity barriers have standard LED marking for even better visibility, for the Bayt barriers this is optional. All barriers can be mounted on the left or right.
Manual barriers
The main advantage of manually operated barriers is that they do not need to be connected to an electrical system. This means they can be used flexibly and are especially useful as temporary access control. Think of temporary road closures or an event requiring a traffic controller. As the useful life of the barrier increases, it is more efficient and cost-effective to have an automatic barrier installed.
Automatic barriers
There are many places imaginable where an automatic barrier is preferred. Automatic barriers must be connected to electricity. Then a choice can be made between mechanical or hydraulic drive. A major advantage of site monitoring with automatic barriers is that they can operate independently and unmanned. Our barriers can communicate with any access control system.
More gateways
Besides barriers, there are several other types of (temporary) entrance gates. For example, you can also opt for speed gates, Tripod turnstiles or turnstile doors. Each with its own unique advantages. For more information on our access control.
