The Newgate "Stinger" is a fully-automatic barrier system providing rapid access and excellent security to vehicle parks with flow rates of up to 200 per hour.
Built for easy maintenance
The Stinger's gearbox drive gives a fast 4.5-second cycle time. Operators will appreciate the Stinger's plug-in logic, which makes maintenance or modification a matter of seconds. The barrier is delivered pre-assembled, complete with a fixing hole template to ensure the holes are drilled squarely into the foundation — typical installation time is under two hours.
Distributor convenience
Distributor convenience is designed into the Stinger. Control options include card readers, push buttons, radio control, induction loops and infra-red photocells, all available as plug-in modules to make installation and long-term maintenance simple and inexpensive. To maximise flexibility, there are three boom lengths — 3000mm, 4000mm and 5000mm — with PVC skirts for lengths up to 4000mm.
Reliable, low-maintenance design
The sturdy electric gear drive has no hydraulics to leak or oil reserves that need topping up. A special spring system helps raise the barrier arm to keep motor loading to a minimum. Power interruptions can be dealt with by the Stinger's built-in hand-wind facility, protected beneath a tamper-proof cover and supplied with a handle. The barrier cabinets are powder-coated yellow and internal components are zinc-plated or powder-coated.
Overnight parts service
Should parts be needed, you will get a rapid response from our overnight support service. All you need is the Stinger's serial number and our service department telephone number: 01636 704000.
If the pole is broken off, it is unlikely to affect the internal mechanism — a new pole or adaptor can be rapidly refitted and the barrier restored to normal operation with minimum delay. Due to the Stinger's design, most components can be replaced within minutes, ensuring the barrier is left out of commission for as little time as possible.
