BFT GIOTTO 30 BT: Italian 24V Parking Gate Barrier for 3 Metre Entrances and Intensive Vehicle Access
The BFT GIOTTO 30 BT is an automatic parking gate barrier for vehicle entrances with a clear opening of up to 3 metres. Its 24V drive and intensive-use design make it a practical choice for controlled car parks, office entrances and residential developments where the barrier operates repeatedly throughout the day. The compact lane coverage suits a defined entry or exit lane rather than a broad shared driveway.
A MERAK BG control unit manages the movement of the boom, while encoder feedback monitors its travel and provides impact response. Slowdown near the end of movement helps the arm settle into position with less abrupt stopping. With an opening time of approximately four seconds, the GIOTTO 30 BT supports orderly vehicle flow without leaving the entrance permanently open.
The Italian-made cabinet uses a RAL7015 cataphoresis coating and painted finish. Its IP54 enclosure is intended for outdoor installations within the specified operating conditions. For a UAE project, cabinet placement, foundation quality, drainage and routine maintenance all contribute to dependable operation.
