The Perfect Solution for Every Challenge: Marantec PA68 Parking Barrier

Marantec UK recently supported the installation of a PA68 Parking Barrier for BL Shutters in Portadown, providing the business with a secure and dependable way to manage access across its premises.

The customer required a system that could safely control staff entry while also helping to manage collections and deliveries throughout the working day. The PA68 was selected as a practical solution capable of supporting these operational requirements while providing the safety features and reliability expected within a busy commercial environment.

Controlled Access for Staff and Visitors

The installation included a coded keypad and additional transmitters for staff access.

This gives BL Shutters a flexible way to manage entry to the site, helping authorised users move through the barrier efficiently while maintaining greater control over access to the premises.

By combining keypad operation with individual transmitters, the system supports both regular staff use and wider day-to-day access requirements.

Designed for Demanding Applications

The Marantec PA68 is designed to meet high operational requirements across a range of commercial access-control applications.

Each model within the Marantec barrier range is fitted with a robust metal gearbox, supporting dependable performance and adjustable opening speeds. This allows the barrier to be configured around the practical needs of the site and the expected level of daily use.

The PA68 operates using a 24 V DC drive voltage and offers a running time of just six seconds.

With an 80% duty cycle, the system is well suited to environments where regular access is required throughout the day.

Safety as a Priority

Safety was a key consideration for this installation.

The PA68 includes LED boom lighting and flexible edge protection to support visibility and help reduce risk during operation. Two integrated flashing lights, one red and one green, are also fitted on either side of the main housing to provide clear visual signals to users.

The installation at BL Shutters was additionally fitted with Marantec photocells, further strengthening the safety of the system by helping detect potential obstructions within the operating area.

Further accessories, including traffic lights, can also be integrated with the unit depending on the requirements of the site.

A Solution Tailored to the Customer

The final installation brings together secure access, practical operation and a range of safety features within one system.

For BL Shutters, the PA68 provides a reliable way to manage staff access, collections and deliveries while supporting smoother movement across the premises.

The combination of a coded keypad, additional transmitters, photocells and integrated safety features ensures the system is tailored to the customer’s specific needs rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution.

Long-Term Reliability

The PA68 is supplied with a five-year warranty, providing additional confidence in the long-term performance of the system.

For commercial customers, dependable access control is essential. A barrier needs to operate consistently, support the required traffic flow and provide clear safety features for staff, visitors and vehicles.

This installation demonstrates how the PA68 can be configured to meet those requirements while remaining straightforward to operate and adaptable to different site conditions.

Supporting Customers

Marantec UK continues to support customers with access-control, gate-automation and barrier solutions backed by product knowledge, technical expertise and ongoing customer service.

The BL Shutters installation is another example of how the right product, combined with suitable accessories and careful specification, can provide a secure and practical solution for a busy commercial site.
