Couple that with the many choices and considerations you must muddle through and it might all start to seem too much.

Let's demystify this foreign language so that you can start to decide on the type of gate that would work best for your project.

Barrier Gates

Barrier gate operators are what you see in parking garages, at toll booths, and at other traffic control areas. Barrier gates are intended purely for vehicle or traffic control. Barrier gate operators can be a cost effective solution to reduce unwanted traffic, but they do not provide any security and are not very visually appealing.

Vertical Gates

Vertical lift gates are almost exclusively used in industrial applications. This is partially due to their cost. Such a gate is very secure and, in fact, probably the most secure type of gate that can be installed. They can be used with any type of gate panel, and therefore can be aesthetically stunning.
