Powered Solar Safety Gates: Smarter Pedestrian Protection for Vehicle Access Zones

Powered Solar Safety Gates: Smarter Pedestrian Protection for Vehicle Access Zones

Vehicle access points are some of the highest-risk areas across industrial sites. Boom gates control vehicle movement – but without proper pedestrian access control, people can still enter dangerous zones while vehicles are active.

ZONE Safety Systems Powered Solar Safety Gates, supplied and supported by CellTec, provide a simple, effective way to help prevent pedestrians entering vehicle traffic areas — without requiring electrical connection or costly infrastructure.

This makes them an ideal solution for improving safety, reducing installation cost, and upgrading existing facilities.


The Safety Challenge: Boom Gates Alone Aren’t Enough

Boom gates are designed to control vehicles, not pedestrians.

Across many industrial facilities, pedestrians can still access traffic zones when boom gates are raised or vehicles are moving. This creates a serious safety risk, particularly in areas such as:

  • Warehouse vehicle access points

  • Distribution centre entry and exit lanes

  • Manufacturing facility traffic zones

  • Logistics and transport depots

  • Service roads and facility entry points

  • Outdoor plant and operational areas

Without controlled pedestrian access, even well-managed traffic zones remain vulnerable to incidents.


The Solution: ZONE Powered Solar Safety Gates

ZONE Powered Solar Safety Gates provide a dedicated pedestrian access control point that works alongside boom gates and traffic management systems.

These gates help prevent pedestrians from entering restricted vehicle areas while traffic is active, supporting safer movement across your site.

Because the gates are solar powered, they operate independently without requiring electrical wiring or trenching.


Key Benefits

No Electrical Connection Required

Solar operation eliminates the need for trenching, cabling, or electrical installation. This significantly reduces installation complexity, time, and cost.

Lower Installation and Labour Costs

Without the need for electrical infrastructure, installation is faster and less disruptive – helping projects stay on schedule and within budget.

Flexible Outdoor Placement

Solar power allows gates to be positioned where safety requires them most, without being limited by access to electrical supply.

Ongoing Energy Savings

Solar operation removes ongoing electrical costs, providing long-term operational savings.

Ideal for Retrofits and Upgrades

ZONE Solar Gates are perfect for improving safety at existing facilities where installing power would otherwise be costly or impractical.

Smart Choice for New Projects

New facilities can reduce upfront infrastructure costs by avoiding unnecessary electrical installation while still achieving effective pedestrian safety.

Ideal Applications

ZONE Powered Solar Safety Gates are suitable for a wide range of industrial and commercial environments, including:

  • Warehouses and distribution centres

  • Manufacturing facilities

  • Automation and robotics sites

  • Logistics and transport hubs

  • Industrial plants and processing facilities

  • Outdoor vehicle access zones

  • Service yards and facility entry points

Anywhere vehicles and pedestrians interact outdoors, solar safety gates can help improve protection.


Improve Safety Without Adding Complexity

Traditional electrically powered safety systems often require significant installation effort. ZONE Powered Solar Gates simplify the process while delivering effective pedestrian access control.

This makes them a practical, cost-effective safety upgrade that supports both operational efficiency and workplace safety objectives.
