Swing Car Park Barrier - Single Leaf - 6.0m

Swing Car Park Barrier – Single Leaf – 6.0m

The Swing Car Park Barrier – Single Leaf – 6.0m is a durable and cost-effective access control system designed to secure entrances to private land, car parks, and commercial sites. With its wide single leaf construction, this barrier can span up to 6.0 metres, making it an excellent choice for locations where larger vehicle access is required, or where two lanes of small to medium vehicles need to pass through at the same time.

Each barrier is manufactured from high-quality galvanised steel, ensuring strength, rigidity, and long service life. The galvanisation process applies a protective zinc coating to the metal, shielding it against rust, corrosion, and general weathering. This makes the barrier ideally suited to outdoor installations, even in areas with demanding environmental conditions. Unlike untreated steel, galvanised barriers retain their silver finish for longer, reducing maintenance requirements while keeping the barrier looking smart.

The Swing Car Park Barrier – Single Leaf – 6.0m operates on a simple pivot system, making it easy to open and close when required. Each barrier is supplied with a sliding bolt latch which keeps the barrier securely in position, whether locked shut to restrict access or fixed in the open position to allow vehicles through. For additional security, the latch can also be padlocked closed, helping to prevent unauthorised entry. (Please note: padlocks are not included and can be purchased separately as an accessory.)

Post Options for Different Ground Conditions

This barrier system is available with either dig in posts or bolt down posts, giving flexibility to suit a variety of installation sites:

• Dig in posts – Best suited to softer ground such as grass or soil where post holes can be dug. These posts are manufactured longer than bolt down versions, allowing a sufficient section to be concreted securely into the ground. Please note that post cement is not included and must be purchased separately.

• Bolt down posts – A practical choice for hard standing ground such as concrete, where excavation is not possible or cost-effective. These posts feature pre-drilled base plates which are fixed to the ground using anchor bolts (sold separately), allowing for quick and straightforward installation.

Both post styles ensure the barrier remains stable, safe, and effective in managing access.

While the barrier is supplied in its galvanised form as standard, it can also be Polyester Powder Coated (PPC) in a wide range of RAL colours. Powder coating provides an additional protective layer against the elements and enhances the appearance of the barrier, allowing it to complement existing fencing, gates, or company branding. Please note that lead times may vary depending on the chosen finish.
