The Stinger Automatic Traffic Barrier

Fast, reliable and economical vehicle access control — built in the UK by Newgate (Newark) Ltd.

Stinger automatic rising-arm traffic barrier

The Stinger is the latest automatic barrier system from Newgate, specialists in vehicle access and parking security systems. If you need extra security for a vehicle flow rate of up to 200 per hour, the Stinger is the ideal solution.

Simple and economical to install, the Stinger combines rugged mechanicals with a sophisticated electronic control mechanism that allows a "plug-in" selection of opening options. These include card readers, push buttons, radio controls, induction loops and infra-red photocells — all triggering the Stinger's rapid opening and closing cycle.

British built for long-term reliability, the Stinger is also designed for simple servicing. Control boards can be checked and replaced in seconds, and an overnight parts service ensures uninterrupted operation.
