A manual swing gate is a hinged steel access gate that swings open and closed by hand to control vehicle movement in car parks, industrial estates, commercial sites, and restricted areas. It’s one of the most durable and cost-effective traffic control solutions for managing authorised entry and exit.
Each gate typically consists of one or two steel leaf sections (single or double leaf) mounted to galvanised steel posts with heavy-duty hinges. When unlocked, the gate swings horizontally to allow vehicles through, then closes manually and is secured again using a padlock and hasp, drop bolt, or latch system.
Manual swing gates can be designed in various widths and heights, from narrow access lanes to wide-span double-leaf gates up to 12 metres across. They’re ideal for sites where vehicle access is occasional or controlled without needing full automation.
At Aremco Barriers, all UK-manufactured manual swing gates are made from galvanised steel for corrosion resistance, then powder-coated in any RAL colour for a professional finish. Gates can include mesh infills, reflective strips, locking posts, or signage, making them reliable, low-maintenance, and built to withstand heavy daily use in all weather conditions.
