An ambulance cannot wait at a gate. Here is how an automatic gate stays out of the way and still protects.
Key takeaways
- Opens at once
- Priority for ambulances
- Fail-safe
- Closes behind
01The problem
At the ambulance entrance every second counts, yet the gate must still keep strangers out. An automatic gate with a remote, a priority lane and a fail-safe release opens at once for ambulances and stays closed otherwise.

| Sensors | Safe for people and vehicles |
