Introducing the UK’s first solar powered access barriers

Kent based company, Green Gate Access Systems, has launched a solar-powered car park barrier systems. The kits, manufactured by Italian company O&O, are said to be capable of functioning in the UK weather conditions all year round. The barriers are suitable for operation from solar-power where a green solution is required or a mains supply is not readily available, allowing security to be fitted to the most remote locations. In standard format the solar panel will operate the barrier up to 100 times a day

Kent based company, 7743 Green Gate Access Systems, has launched a solar-powered car park barrier systems.  The kits, manufactured by Italian company O&O, are said to be capable of functioning in the UK weather conditions all year round.

The barriers are suitable for operation from solar-power where a green solution is required or a mains supply is not readily available, allowing security to be fitted to the most remote locations. In standard format the solar panel will operate the barrier up to 100 times a day and this can be upgraded to 950 operations.

The system is configured on the assumption that each barrier will be fitted with a GSM intercom and exit loop as standard and are rated to cover this in the solar calculations.

    ITS technology can do a great deal to improve tunnel safety, as Colin Sowman discovers.
