Vehicle Barriers    

Frontline Automation supplies and installs a comprehensive range of vehicle control barrier systems that are designed for maximum practicality and trouble-free use.

The FA6000 Automatic Raise Arm Barriers are designed to offer long-term reliability, efficient operation and durability. They incorporate an integral 3-phase inverter driven motor and gearbox drive, which only requires a single-phase supply, providing a smooth consistent operation.

All our FA6000 are CE  Approved (Conforms to BS6571)

All of our barriers work with a range of access control.Full ranges of our access control can be found on our "Access Control" Page.

Once the barrier is opened it will remain open for a preset time (variable between 0-120 seconds) and then automatically close provided that all safety photoelectric beam(s) and/or safety vehicle loop(s) are clear. In the event of power failure the barrier(s) drive system has a manual hand wind, which can be used to raise and lower the barrier.

Safety Controls & Maintenance

BS-EN13241-1 is the safety standard for installation, testing and ongoing compliance of automatic gate, door and vehicle barrier systems.  The standard has been in force in the UK since February 2008 and ALL new gate systems installed should comply with the standard.  In short, the standard is designed to protect you, the end user, from risks associated with entrapment between parts of a moving swing or sliding gate. The standard covers both commercial and residential systems and stipulates the following

1. A swing (hinged) or sliding gate, when colliding with an obstruction, must exert a force of less than 400N before the drive unit stops due to detection of an obstacle.

2. The gate must then reverse to safely clear the obstruction within 0.75 seconds.

3. The entire leading edge of a swing or sliding gate, up to a height of 2.5m, must be fitted with an active obstacle detection system.

4. The obstacle detection system must be tested and accredited to another standard, BS-EN1760-2 that governs quality, durability and failure monitoring, to ensure that the gate will not function unless the safety system is in good working order.

Fitment of safety equipment, and maintenance of, is an integral part of all automated systems and are essential in order to comply with the following regulations:

The Machine Directive 98/37/EC as amended by Directive 98/79/EC
