Zero-carbon barrier company Solar Gates UK has launched the SOSEC 200+, a fully solar-powered, portable barrier designed to secure worksite access points up to 7m wide. The new solution builds on a decade of proven reliability from the SOSEC range, trusted on major projects such as HS2 for its durability, efficiency, and security.

Retaining the same trusted SOSEC barrier technology, the 200+ model introduces key advancements for larger construction and infrastructure sites:

• 7m barrier arm for wider access points, enhancing control and coverage for larger sites.
• Improved solar mount design for enhanced health and safety during install and repositioning.
• Improved solar efficiency. Additional operations per winter day.
• Built to withstand the demands of heavy use and harsh conditions, SOSEC 200+ offers long-term reliability.

Like all SOSEC barriers, the SOSEC 200+ is fully compliant with UK barrier and gate regulations. It features auto-exit functionality, safety beams, and round-the-clock solar operation. Plus, it can be fully customised with a range of access control options to fit site-specific security needs.

Neil Sampson, Managing Director of Maidstone-based Solar Gates UK says: “The SOSEC range set the benchmark for solar-powered site security, and the SOSEC 200+ takes that reliability even further. By extending the barrier to 7m, we’re addressing a real challenge for construction and infrastructure projects, securing larger access points without compromising efficiency. With enhanced solar performance and safety-driven design improvements, the SOSEC 200+ is the toughest, most adaptable solution for wide-area site security.”
