5m Site Access Barrier

Description

5m Manual Site Access Barrier

The 5m Site Access Barrier provides a strong and practical solution for controlling vehicle access across wider construction site entrances, compounds, industrial yards and other restricted areas.

With its 5 metre barrier arm, this model offers increased coverage for larger vehicle access points where shorter manual barriers may not provide the required span. It provides a clearly defined physical control point for managing authorised and unauthorised vehicle movement.

The barrier uses gas-assisted dampers to assist with raising and lowering the arm. This removes the need for traditional counterweights and makes regular manual operation considerably more straightforward.

Ergonomic grip handles combined with the gas-assisted mechanism allow the barrier to be operated with a one-handed movement, making it suitable for entrances that need to be opened and closed regularly throughout the working day.

5m Site Access Barrier Specifications

Barrier length: 5m
Pedestal and pole arm weight: 56kg
Pedestal size: 1110mm × 444mm × 300mm
Barrier pole section: 94mm × 64mm oval

Fixings

For standard bolt-down installation, M16 anchor shield bolts are included, together with M12 fixings for the end rest.

A root-fixed (concrete-in) version is also available where the barrier needs to be installed into a suitable concrete foundation.

Locking

The 5m barrier can be securely locked in both its raised and lowered positions, allowing site personnel to control when vehicles are permitted to pass through the access point.

An external padlock with a 60mm long shackle and three keys is supplied.

End Rest Options

A lockable end rest is supplied as standard. This supports the end of the 5 metre barrier arm when the barrier is lowered.

Alternatively, an adjustable-height Pogo Tip Support can be selected. The Pogo support rises together with the barrier arm, providing an alternative to a separate fixed end rest.

Colour Options

The standard barrier finish is red and white, providing a highly visible appearance at construction site and vehicle entrances.

Alternative colour combinations are also available:

• Yellow (RAL 1023) / Black
• Blue (RAL 5010) / White
• Green (RAL 6005) / White

Select your preferred colour from the available product options when ordering.

Where Can a 5m Site Access Barrier Be Used?

The 5m manual barrier is particularly suited to wider access points where controlled vehicle movement is required. Typical applications include:

• Construction site entrances
• Building site compounds
• Industrial yards
• Storage and works compounds
• Commercial premises
• Private access roads
• Contractor and staff vehicle entrances
• Delivery access points
• Restricted vehicle areas within larger sites

The barrier can also be used to temporarily restrict vehicle movement into particular areas during deliveries or other site activities.

Is a 5m Site Access Barrier the Right Size?

Before ordering, measure the width of the entrance or roadway that needs to be controlled.

A 5m site access barrier provides additional coverage for wider entrances where a 4m or 4.5m barrier is too short. It can therefore be a practical choice for construction compounds and other locations accommodating larger or more frequent vehicle movements.

The required barrier length will depend on the dimensions and layout of the individual entrance. Always measure the access point and consider the space required for safe barrier operation before choosing a size.

If 5 metres isn’t the correct length for your entrance, view our Site Access Barriers range to compare manual barriers from 3m to 7m.

Manual Access Control for Wider Site Entrances

Larger construction compounds and industrial sites can have regular movements of delivery vehicles, contractors and other authorised traffic. A clearly defined access point provides a simple way for site personnel to control when vehicles are permitted to enter or leave a restricted area.

The 5m manual barrier provides a physical means of controlling that access without requiring electrical power or an automated barrier system.

When access is required, the gas-assisted barrier arm can be raised and secured in the open position. When vehicle entry needs to be restricted, it can be lowered and locked.

This makes the 5m barrier a practical option for wider entrances requiring straightforward, visible and manually controlled vehicle access.
