Car Park Barriers

Car park barriers open and close a road entrance or exit with a powered barrier arm, and this page holds the barriers, arms and parts that build them. It covers complete barrier kits, barrier booms and folding, fence and straight boom poles, spare parts such as release keys, gear motors and covers, and vehicle loop detectors, trigger radar, an ANPR camera and car park LED screens, from CAME, Hikvision and Nortech.

Choosing Car Park Barriers

Start with the road width, then choose the boom and the parts that keep it balanced and visible.

Barrier kits

The CAME GARD GT4 kit 8K01RB-0700 is designed for road widths up to 4m, with an integrated ZL392 control panel and optional cloud connectivity via a 4G gateway module.

Frequently asked questions

How does a car park barrier work?

A car park barrier is a motorised boom that its control panel raises and lowers when a trigger, such as a vehicle loop detector or ANPR camera, signals it. The CAME GARD GT4 kit 8K01RB-0700 has an integrated ZL392 control panel and a spring balancing system, the Nortech PD134 is a single channel detector for parking and vehicle access control, and the Hikvision DS-TMC403-EL ANPR camera controls a vehicle barrier gate through its relay output.

What is a folding barrier arm?

A folding barrier arm is a boom pole built in two sections that fold, rather than one straight length. The Hikvision DS-TMG002-5(1.5+1.5m) is a folding aluminium-profile boom pole measuring 3000 × 98 × 45 mm, and the DS-TMG002-5(2.5+2.5m) is a curved folding boom pole. For a one-piece boom, the DS-TMG001-3(6m octagonal) is a straight boom pole.

What comes in a car park barrier kit?

A car park barrier kit packages the barrier with its control panel, boom and accessories such as photocells, LED signalling and a manual release. The CAME GT8-8M-KIT, for road widths of up to 8 meters, has a barrier with built-in control panel, a white painted boom, red/green LED strips, reflective strips and a pair of photocells, and the CAME GARD GT4 8K01RB-0700, for road widths up to 4m, adds a manual release system with key.

Can a sign show how many parking spaces are left?

Yes, a parking space display is an LED screen, for example at the car park entrance, that can show how many spaces remain. The Hikvision DS-TVL224-4-5Y(2 ROWS) entrance/exit LED screen can show the remaining parking spaces of the whole car park, a licence plate number or the weather forecast, and indoors the DS-TVL121-6-5D has a remaining parking number display.

How is a barrier released by hand?

A barrier is released by hand through its manual release system, which is opened with a release key or lever. The CAME GARD GT4 kit 8K01RB-0700, for road widths up to 4m, has a manual release system with key, the CAME 119RIY077 is a pack of 10 triangular release keys, and the 119RIG146 is a release lever.
