Gate Safety in Real-World Conditions – Why Design Matters

When choosing a manual swing gate, design and restraint are just as important as strength and finish. Poorly designed swing gates can pose a serious safety risk if the moving arm is too long and insufficiently supported.

There is a widely reported external video showing a swing gate arm penetrating a vehicle windscreen after the gate moved unchecked. The footage was published by a news outlet and is linked below for reference:

What Went Wrong in the Example Shown

This incident highlights a common issue seen with some swing gate designs:

• The gate arm is excessively long, increasing leverage and momentum
• There is no supporting structure or restraint underneath the moving arm
• When the gate moves unexpectedly, nothing stops the arm from travelling directly into a vehicle
• The result can be windscreen penetration and serious vehicle damage

This is not a material failure — it is a design and restraint issue.

How Aremco Barriers’ Swing Gates Are Designed Differently

Our Galvanised & Powder-Coated Gates are engineered with real-world safety and controlled movement in mind.

Key design differences include:

• Shorter moving section at the end of the gate
  Reduces reach and limits the force applied if the gate contacts a vehicle.
• Metal support and restraint beneath the moving arm
  A physical stop prevents the gate arm from swinging unchecked into vehicles or structures.
• Robust steel construction with correct mounting points
  Designed to maintain alignment and resist unwanted movement during everyday use and adverse weather.
• Manufactured and specified with safety-focused geometry
  Not just built to look strong, but designed to behave safely in use.

These design choices significantly reduce the likelihood of incidents like the one shown in the external video and contribute to safer operation at driveways, access roads, commercial entrances, and shared sites.

What Are Galvanised Swing Barrier Gates?

A galvanised swing barrier gate is a manual access-control system that pivots to open or close vehicle and pedestrian entry points.
The hot-dip galvanised coating protects the steel from rust, ensuring a long service life even in harsh outdoor conditions.

Aremco’s gates are engineered for strength, security, and reliability, making them the go-to choice for UK sites needing durable perimeter protection.

Common Applications

• Securing warehouse entrances and loading bays
• Controlling vehicle access in car parks
• Protecting commercial and retail yards
• Managing restricted entry for logistics hubs
• Industrial perimeter and boundary control
