Rising Parking Kerb

For those applications where a conventional rising arm vehicle barrier is deemed to be inappropriate, a suitable alternative can be a rising kerb.

The principle of using a powered steel step buried in the road surface to control the movement of motor vehicles, has been in use in the parking industry since the early 1960s. Designed primarily for use in unmanned high vandal prone areas, its usage has today been extended to include high security risk (terrorist) areas.

Hydraulically driven from its road side control cabinet, housing its state-of-the-art controller designed specifically for parking applications. Supplied with a set of red/green cast aluminium traffic lights fitted with high impact resistant Polycarbonet lenses. Designed with an adjustable pressure release valve to control the degree of lift should any vehicle ignore the traffic light sequence and become trapped.

Vehicle safety is provided by vehicle sensing loops imbedded in the road surface. The top cover and curved shroud are removable, allowing ease of access to the pit area to perform routine maintenance, and to remove debris likely to block the drainage system. The front panel of the kerb facing the traffic is chevron marked in yellow and black to give maximum visibility in low light and poor weather conditions. All below ground steel work is protected by a coating of micaceous iron oxide MIO.
