MAGNETIC Barrier Skirt
Safety & Security Accessory for selected MAGNETIC Automatic Vehicle Barriers
Key Features
Function: Blocks unauthorized pedestrian entry while reducing crushing or shearing risks using flexible, resilient elements.
Design: Built with S-shaped plastic or aluminum elements using a click-system for easy on-site assembly. They fold silently parallel to the housing when the barrier opens.
Height Options: Available in climb-over protection heights of approximately 51 inches (1.3 m) or 70 inches (1.8 m).
Compatibility: Designed for Magnetic Autocontrol barrier series like the Access Pro-H and Microboom XL. Lengths range from 3.0 m (9.8 ft) up to 10.0 m (approx. 33 ft).
Support Requirements: Barriers with longer skirts generally require a pendulum support or support post to handle weight and stability.
Overview
The MAGNETIC Skirt is a safety and security accessory for selected MAGNETIC automatic vehicle barriers, designed to close the open space below the barrier boom and prevent pedestrians from crawling underneath the gate. It is particularly suited to industrial compounds, logistics facilities, staff entrances, secure residential developments, warehouses and other controlled vehicle entrances where a conventional boom alone does not provide sufficient pedestrian separation. MAGNETIC offers the standard skirt for systems including Access Pro-H, Access XL2, Access XXL and Traffic H1, while the higher-security climb-over versions are designed primarily for Access Pro-H, Access XL2 and Access XXL. Depending on the barrier model, standard skirt configurations can cover very wide entrances—up to approximately 5.0/5.5 m on Access Pro-H depending on support type, 8.5 m on Access XL2 and 10 m on Access XXL. The skirt components are designed to work with MAGNETIC’s barrier-boom architecture while maintaining controlled vehicle movement and providing a much stronger visual and physical boundary than a standard boom alone. For applications requiring stronger anti-climb security, MAGNETIC provides the Skirt with Climb-Over Prevention 1300 mm and 1800 mm. The 1300 mm version creates a 1.3 m-high protective barrier that prevents both crawling beneath and climbing over the boom; MAGNETIC specifies widths up to 6 m on compatible Access XL2 and Access XXL installations. On Access Pro-H, the maximum boom length is approximately 4.3 m with a pendulum/hinged support or 4.7 m with a support post. The taller 1800 mm version raises the protective structure to 1.8 m for applications where a more substantial pedestrian deterrent is required; on Access Pro-H it supports approximately 4.0 m with pendulum support or 4.5 m with a support post, while Access XL2 and Access XXL can again accommodate widths up to about 6 m. MAGNETIC requires a support post or pendulum support for these climb-over configurations, and the skirt is supplied as individual components for assembly onto a barrier housing prepared for the accessory. MAGNETIC also notes restrictions on certain boom-lighting configurations when the climb-over skirt is installed, so LED requirements should be confirmed during system design. For VEGA Digital IT Solutions LLC’s MAGNETIC integration projects across Dubai and the UAE, the skirt system can be engineered as part of a complete secure vehicle-access solution. Installation begins with a site survey to determine lane width, pedestrian-security requirements, boom length, required skirt height and whether a pendulum support or fixed support post is most appropriate, followed by selection of the compatible Access Pro-H, Access XL2 or Access XXL barrier. VEGA Digital can then provide civil preparation, barrier foundation and anchoring, power and control cabling, boom installation, skirt assembly and alignment, support-post installation, safety-loop and photocell positioning, and integration with ANPR/LPR cameras, UHF RFID readers, access-control systems, intercoms, visitor-management platforms and parking-management software. Final commissioning should include skirt-clearance and alignment checks throughout the complete opening cycle, anti-crush and anti-shear verification, support-post or pendulum adjustment, vehicle-detection testing, emergency/manual-operation checks and operator training, creating a complete MAGNETIC high-security vehicle and pedestrian-control solution for industrial sites, logistics centres, commercial facilities and secure developments throughout Dubai and the wider UAE.
