Automatic Rising Arm Barriers

We design and manufacture two distinct automatic rising arm barriers, the Challenger and the Heavy Duty barrier.

Our automatic rising barriers are constructed from high quality steel and finished with white lids and red bodies as standard. Each of our barrier arms are supplied with our standard red and white stripes.

All our barriers are 100% duty rated and use the latest inverter technology. Should you have a specialist requirement, our design team can work with you to produce a truly bespoke solution to meet your exact specifications.

There are many optional accessories available with our range of automatic rising barriers including tip supports, boom lights, stop signs, half and full curtains.
