Warehouse Security Gates

Secure warehousing is vital for many businesses. Whether you work in logistics or require a warehouse to store stock for retail, these spaces contain valuable goods that could be at risk of theft. Without the right security, lost inventory can be incredibly damaging to your business.

Warehouse security gates provide a layer of defence to help you control access and reduce inventory shrinkage. At Security Solutions, we can provide robust security gates and a range of other perimeter security measures to protect your warehouse.

Why Is Warehouse Security Important?

Warehouses of all sizes can be targeted by thieves. One of the primary functions of warehouse security is to prevent theft to reduce financial loss.

However, putting the right gates and measures in place can also help your operations run smoothly. When inventory is lost or stolen, it can have a knock-on effect on supply chains, delaying deliveries and potentially causing customers and clients to lose trust.

Why Is Perimeter Security Essential In Warehouses?

Perimeter security measures, including durable fencing, gates, turnstiles, and barriers, are outward-facing and designed to ensure only authorised personnel can get in. These act as a first defence, deterring would-be trespassers and preventing them from access if attempted.

Combined with automation and access control, perimeter security is an effective and efficient solution for warehouses.

Where To Position Warehouse Security Gates

To get the most protection from your warehouse security gates, it’s important to position them strategically. Some of the most vulnerable locations that could benefit from security gates include:

Main Entrance And Exit

By installing security gates at the main entrance, you can have greater control over who comes in and out of the premises.

Here, automatic sliding security gates are a wise choice. Made from durable steel, our SSSG Cantilever Sliding Gate can span openings of up to 10.5 metres, making it an excellent option for warehouse sites that require access for delivery lorries and HGVs.

We can fit your sliding gates with a range of access control measures, including keypads, audio intercom systems, card access, and remote control. We can also integrate them with CCTV cameras.

Loading Docks And Delivery Areas

Sliding gates are also an excellent option for any delivery areas where large vehicles need to enter and park. Again, these can be fitted with access control systems to monitor warehouse staff and delivery drivers.

High-Security Or Restricted Areas

If you require an extra level of security for certain internal areas, you may wish to install pedestrian gates. Adding a card reader or biometrics control panels can ensure only team members with the right permission can enter.

Our pedestrian security gates are available in a range of sizes and can be constructed from sturdy steel or aluminium.

Visitor Areas And Staff Car Parks

You may have a dedicated staff car park within the main warehouse site. Or perhaps you require a space for visitors — whether they be clients, customers, or health and safety inspectors.

Bi-folding gates can work well in visitor and staff parking areas where you require secure access but have more limited space. Our SSBF Bi-Folding Gates can be installed as a single unit or a pair of gates, depending on the access you need.

Additional Warehouse Security Measures

While warehouse security gates are an integral part of protecting your site, combining them with other measures can ensure the best defence. Here are a few recommended security options:

• Turnstiles: Within your warehouse, turnstiles can support safety by controlling the flow of staff able to access a particular space at any one time — vital when heavy items are being moved around. They can also make sure only authorised staff members can access certain areas.

With full-height and half-height turnstiles available, these are great for improving security in a compact way.

• Rising arm barriers: Alongside security gates, you may wish to install automatic rising arm barriers to control traffic flow in car park areas.

We also provide bollards and crash-rated road blockers which can support your hostile vehicle mitigation plan.
