Sliding Barrier Protector
The Protector sliding barrier closes a clear opening of up to 10 metres with a single boom, or 20 metres when installed as a pair. With its aluminium frame, the sliding barrier suits sites where there is no room for a swing barrier to rotate, such as industrial yards, port areas and depots. Pur-ait supplies and installs throughout Finland.

The Protector sliding barrier is the solution when the opening is too wide for a swing barrier. A single boom reaches 10 metres, and a pair installed from opposite sides closes a width of 20 metres. The aluminium construction keeps the boom light even over a long reach, so the sliding mechanism runs smoothly without heavy motors. Typical sites include industrial yards, port areas, depots and loading yards at logistics centres, where lorry and container transport requires a wide clear opening.
Sliding barrier or swing barrier?
A swing barrier needs a free turning radius to open, as the boom rotates upwards or sideways around its hinge. If there is a canopy, bridge or other structure above the opening, a swing barrier has no room to open. A sliding barrier only moves sideways along its own track, so no vertical clearance is needed. A sliding barrier also closes the opening evenly across its full width, whereas a swing barrier often leaves open space at the edges. Compared with a telescopic barrier, the Protector sliding barrier has fewer moving parts and simpler maintenance.
Installation planning and requirements
The sliding barrier is installed on a track fixed to a wall, a pillar or a separate steel structure. The track length matches the sliding distance of the boom, so space must be reserved next to the opening for the boom's parking position. The aluminium construction is light and does not need massive foundations. The barrier can be manual or motorised. In the motorised version it is controlled by remote control, an access control system or an identification device. Pur-ait sizes the track to the dimensions of the site and carries out a turnkey installation.
Typical applications
The Protector sliding barrier suits sites where the opening width exceeds the capacity of a standard swing barrier. In industrial areas the barrier controls heavy vehicle entry without opening the entire fence opening. In ports and terminals, the 20 metre reach of a pair covers the widths needed for container transport. At depots the sliding barrier marks out parking areas for buses, lorries or work machines and guides traffic clearly. At logistics centres the barrier integrates with access control and speeds up traffic in loading yards.
Protector sliding barrier price
The price of the Protector sliding barrier depends on the opening width, installation method and accessories. Motorisation, remote control and access control integration raise the total price but reduce operating costs over the long term. Pur-ait delivers barriers as supply only or as a complete installation. Request a quote with your site dimensions and we will calculate the exact price and delivery time.
