The automatic vehicle barrier is the key element to many vehicle access and parking applications. However, many companies opt for the cheapest option when selecting their barriers, and then suffer the consequences of buying sub-standard automatic barriers.

Miras can supply highly reliable automatic vehicle barriers to suit every application and every pocket, ranging from low cost options for simple parking situations, up to heavy duty 100% duty cycle barriers that operate reliably day-in day-out, 365 days a year.

Automatic parking payment and parking revenue systems are available for simple parking payment plans up to complex multi-site Pay-on-Foot integrated revenue systems.

If automatic vehicle barriers are not suitable for your requirement, Miras can also supply SpeedGates®, automatic bollards and rising road blockers, where speed of traffic flow, high security and design aesthetics are important.

Examples:

Two 6 metre barriers provide total control of a twin lane vehicle exit used by HGV and staff cars. Barriers have been chosen to match existing architecture and surroundings.

4 metre automatic barrier installed on combined public shopping and office complex car park. Access involves a payment system for public users, and automatic staff ID card access systems for office workers.

Heavy duty 6 metre barrier used for heavy goods logistics depot. Heavy duty barriers can be supplied with top and bottom skirts to eliminate unauthorised pedestrian access, and a combination of secure locking systems. Vehicle tagging systems are also available to provide real hands free vehicle access and exit.

Where aesthetics and design considerations are important, Miras can design and supply bespoke gate systems such as the one shown in the picture.

Manual swing barrier installed at large retail park. This is the only manual swing gate that latches and locks automatically on closing and opening. A secure key is then required to unlock the gate. Manual barriers have received considerable bad press recently following several accidents. With the unique automatic latch and lock system fitted to these manual barriers, accidents can be significantly reduced.

For high security applications Miras can provide road blocker and automatic bollard systems. Certified and crash tested road blockers can be supplied where there is the requirement to stop vehicles, for example, in a terrorist bombing attempt.
