Swing Car Park Barrier - Single Leaf - 8.0m

Swing Car Park Barrier – Single Leaf – 1.0m x 8.0m

The Swing Car Park Barrier – Single Leaf – 1.0m x 8.0m is a heavy-duty and cost-effective solution for securing extra-wide access points. With a span of 8.0 metres, this barrier is designed for locations that require large vehicle access, including agricultural entrances, commercial depots, distribution yards, and expansive car parks. Standing at 1.0m high, it provides clear perimeter control while remaining straightforward to use and maintain.

This extra-wide barrier is manufactured from robust galvanised steel by our in-house fabrication team. Galvanisation involves applying a zinc coating to the steel, providing excellent protection against rust, corrosion, and weathering. This makes the barrier highly suited for outdoor environments, including those exposed to challenging conditions. The galvanised finish not only strengthens durability but also helps retain the silver appearance of the metal, reducing the need for frequent maintenance.

Thanks to its extended 8.0m width, this barrier is suitable for sites requiring access for large or multiple vehicles. It operates on a simple swing mechanism that allows the leaf to open smoothly and close securely. Each barrier is supplied with a sliding bolt latch, which locks it firmly in either the open or closed position. For sites where added protection is required, the latch can also be secured with a padlock to prevent unauthorised entry (padlocks are sold separately).

Key Features and Benefits

Flexible Installation Options

The Swing Car Park Barrier – Single Leaf – 1.0m x 8.0m is available with two post options, ensuring it can be installed across a variety of ground conditions:

• Dig in posts – Best suited to softer or natural ground types such as soil or grass. These posts are manufactured longer to allow for a secure installation using post cement (sold separately), making them a stable and long-lasting choice.

• Bolt down posts – Designed for use on harder surfaces such as tarmac or concrete, these posts come with pre-drilled base plates for quick fixing with ground anchor bolts (sold separately). This option is ideal for sites where excavation may not be possible.

Both post types provide a strong and stable installation, ensuring the barrier remains reliable during everyday use.

Supplied in a galvanised finish as standard, this barrier can also be Polyester Powder Coated (PPC) in a range of RAL colours to suit site requirements. Powder coating offers additional protection against weathering and can improve the appearance of the barrier, allowing it to blend in with existing fencing or reflect company branding. Please note that lead times may vary depending on the colour chosen.

Applications

The Swing Car Park Barrier – Single Leaf – 1.0m x 8.0m is the perfect solution for securing wide entrances where vehicle access needs to be controlled efficiently. It is particularly suited to farms, industrial estates, haulage yards, retail parks, and other large sites where both standard and oversized vehicles may require access. Offering a straightforward, manual design, it provides reliable site security without the high costs of automated barrier systems.
