Automatic Parkguards
Tired of coming home to find someone parked in your bay? The Automatic Parking Barrier puts you back in control. Installed flush in your parking bay, this smart unit rises to block unauthorised vehicles and lowers instantly when you need access — all from the comfort of your car, up to 30 metres away.
Powered entirely by its built-in solar panel and rechargeable battery, there is no need for any electrical wiring or a qualified electrician. The unit charges itself automatically during the day and works reliably through the night — making it completely load-shedding proof. A low-battery notification alerts you when a recharge is needed.
An automatic parking barrier is one of the most effective solutions for securing your parking space and preventing unauthorised vehicles from occupying your bay. Whether you own a home with a private driveway, manage a commercial property, or oversee a residential complex, Parkguard’s range of remote controlled parking barriers gives you complete control over who parks in your space — at the touch of a button.
What Is an Automatic Parking Barrier?
An automatic parking barrier is a device that physically blocks a parking bay when not in use. When you arrive, you simply use the included remote control to lower the barrier, drive in, and raise it again once you’ve parked. This deters and prevents unauthorised parking without requiring any manual effort or on-site supervision. Unlike traditional removable bollards and security posts, an automatic parking barrier offers a convenient, hassle-free solution that you can operate from inside your vehicle.Built from mild steel with a powder-coated finish, the unit resists corrosion and is fully waterproof, making it tough enough for South Africa’s harshest outdoor conditions. A built-in tamper alarm sounds if anyone attempts to force or obstruct the arm — giving you an extra layer of security and peace of mind.
Installation is simple enough for a confident DIY-er: remove the cover, drill 3 holes, and secure with the supplied bolts. No special tools or permits required.

How Does the Automatic Parking Barrier Work?
Installation is straightforward — the barrier mounts directly to the ground of your parking bay using anchor bolts. Once installed, press the remote to lower the arm flat so you can drive over it, then raise it again to secure your space. If you need a solution that doesn’t require remote control, take a look at our semi-automatic parking lock range as an alternative.
