Choosing
Which barrier is right for your site?
The choice comes down to two questions. How often is the barrier used, and how wide is the opening?
A car park or industrial gate in continuous use needs an automatic boom barrier connected to access control. For a cottage road or forest road, a manual swing barrier locked with a padlock is enough. Wide openings are solved with a sliding barrier, which needs no space for the swing of the barrier arm.
Choosing between a barrier and a gate for a parking area is covered in the article barrier or gate for a parking area (in Finnish).

Automatic or manual barrier?
It depends on how often the barrier is used. Daily traffic calls for an automatic barrier, occasional closures does not.
An automatic boom barrier costs more to buy, but it opens without manual operation. The Ditec barrier is designed for continuous use, and its fast opening time keeps traffic flowing in car parks and at industrial plant gates.
A manual swing barrier is the most affordable way to close off a cottage road or forest road. It needs no power supply and no service agreement, and the galvanised steel structure withstands outdoor use for years without recoating.
Why a sliding barrier rather than a swing barrier?
A swing barrier needs space for the swing of the barrier arm. A sliding barrier moves sideways, so it suits wide openings and tight spaces.

Critical sites
Is a barrier enough to protect a critical site?
A barrier directs traffic, but it does not stop a deliberate drive-through by a vehicle. That requires a crash-rated structure.
At sites within the scope of the Finnish CER Act, such as data centres, power plants and ports, vehicle traffic management is built up in layers. The barrier handles daily access control and identification, while the actual physical stop is provided by crash-rated gates whose performance has been tested and certified in a third-party laboratory.
At ordinary industrial and parking sites, a barrier is perfectly adequate. Safety loops and CE approval ensure that the equipment is safe for users and vehicles.
Control and locking
How is a barrier controlled?
An automatic barrier is controlled remotely, by time of day or through an access control system. A manual barrier is locked with a padlock.
GSM remote control
Open the barrier with a phone or a property management app. Suits sites where the barrier is opened only occasionally, for example for maintenance vehicles.
Time-clock modem
The barrier opens and closes according to the time of day without a separate command. A cost-effective solution for regular opening hours.
Access control integration
The barrier connects to the most common identification and access control systems, from key fob tags to payment terminals.
Padlock
On manual swing barriers, locking is done with a padlock through the locking guide. No power supply and no automation.
Installation and maintenance
What does barrier installation involve?
The housing of an automatic barrier is anchored to a solid foundation. The opening time, closing delay and safety loops are adjusted during installation.
A correctly dimensioned barrier needs little maintenance. A regular inspection covers the drive mechanism, the operation of the safety loops and the condition of the barrier arm. For a manual swing barrier, greasing the hinges once a year is enough.
Why service intervals matter for automated equipment is covered in the article when an automatic gate needs servicing (in Finnish).
Site-specific dimensioning
The barrier is dimensioned according to traffic volume, opening width and access control needs.
Installation throughout Finland
Our own installation team handles the foundations, electrical connections and the adjustment of safety devices.
PurService annual service
A preventive service agreement for vehicle gates and barriers. Spare parts are available quickly.
