The main criterion in choosing a barrier is not the price. The correct choice of a barrier or gate can significantly save on operation costs. A barrier device that is 20-30% more expensive can save you the full purchase cost over two to three years of operation.

When determining the need, it is better to consult with a specialist who is not affiliated with any of the distributing companies. A representative of the supplying company will never be objective under any circumstances. Greater objectivity can be relied upon based on the opinion of the operating company, as the objective and economic concept of the operating organization is to obtain maximum payment with minimal operating costs. In some cases, the operating organization is willing to bear the costs of replacing equipment to reduce its operating expenses.

So, what should be considered when ordering a barrier device and organizing the design of passages:

• the number of daily crossings;
• the speed at which passage should be allowed (high-speed opening is only possible when using barriers. Gates, due to their total mass combined with security requirements related to closing effort, do not allow for quick closing. Additionally, for swing gates, multiple safety devices need to be applied);
• determine if the requirements for restricting passage apply exclusively to cars or if there is a requirement to restrict the passage of bicycles and motorcycles;
• if there is a separation between the entrance and exit points. If there are reasons for installing gates, then opening should be provided in the direction of travel - this being the safest gate installation option;
• if there are requirements for automatic opening of the barrier device in case of power failure;
• if there is a requirement to remotely retrieve data on the status of the barrier device. Implementing this task will prolong the device's service life;
• if there is a requirement to receive alerts in case the device is switched to manual mode.
