Frequently Asked Questions
What types of BFT automatic barriers are available?
BFT produces a range of automatic barriers suited to different operational demands. These include light-duty barriers for low-frequency residential or small car park use, medium-duty barriers for commercial premises with moderate traffic flow, and heavy-duty industrial barriers designed for continuous, high-cycle environments. Boom arm lengths typically range from 3 to 8 metres, covering single-lane through to wide-span entrances.
How long does it take to install a BFT automatic barrier?
In most cases, a standard BFT barrier installation can be completed within one day by our trained engineers. More complex installations — such as those requiring ground loop detectors, traffic light integration, or multi-lane configurations — may require additional time. We recommend booking a free site survey so our team can provide an accurate installation timeline for your specific site.
Can BFT barriers be integrated with existing access control systems?
Yes. BFT automatic barriers are designed to integrate seamlessly with a wide range of access control technologies, including keypads, proximity card readers, intercoms, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras, and remote management software. This makes them an ideal choice for sites that require layered security or centralised access management.
Are BFT barriers suitable for high-traffic commercial sites?
Absolutely. BFT’s commercial and industrial barrier range is engineered for intensive use, with certain models capable of handling thousands of operations per day. With fast opening and closing speeds, robust motor units, and integrated obstacle detection, BFT barriers maintain reliable performance even under sustained heavy use — making them well suited to car parks, logistics depots, retail sites, and industrial estates.
What maintenance do BFT automatic barriers require?
BFT barriers are designed for low maintenance, but like all automated systems, periodic servicing is recommended to ensure safe and reliable long-term operation. This typically includes checking motor function, lubricating moving parts, testing safety sensors, and inspecting the boom arm and mounting hardware. Bollard Security Ltd offers scheduled maintenance contracts across the UK to keep your barrier system operating at peak performance year-round.
