BFT GIOTTO 60 BT: Italian 24V Automatic Parking Barrier for Wide 6 Metre Vehicle Entrances
BFT GIOTTO 60 BT: Italian 24V Automatic Parking Barrier for Wide 6 Metre Vehicle Entrances
The BFT GIOTTO 60 BT provides automatic vehicle access control for entrances with a clear opening of up to 6 metres. This model gives property managers a wider barrier option for commercial car parks, warehouse approaches and residential developments where a shorter boom would not cover the required passage. Its intensive-use classification is suited to entrances with repeated daily vehicle movements.
The 24V drive works with a MERAK BG controller to manage boom travel. Encoder feedback supports impact response, and a slowdown function moderates the final part of movement. Together, these functions help the barrier follow a controlled operating cycle rather than stopping the arm abruptly at its travel limit. The operating speed should be confirmed for the selected boom and installation configuration.
A mechanical locking arrangement holds the barrier in position, while a personal-key release allows manual operation when needed. Optional onboard battery backup can be specified for sites that require powered access during an electricity interruption. The RAL7015 coated and painted cabinet houses the mechanism and separates the electronics from the mechanical section to support servicing.

Suitable Applications and Project Selection
The GIOTTO 60 BT suits wider entries at logistics sites, office developments, hotels and managed residential communities. Measure the effective opening and check boom support requirements, accessories, access controls and traffic detection before selecting the final package. An IP54 rating addresses dust and splashing water; installation conditions and ambient temperature still need to remain within the equipment limits. Request a project quotation for your UAE location with the lane dimensions and expected usage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum entrance width?
The GIOTTO 60 BT is specified for clear openings up to 6 metres. The complete boom configuration and site layout must be checked before installation.
What is the difference from the GIOTTO 30 BT?
The principal selection difference is lane coverage: the 60 BT is intended for openings up to 6 metres, while the 30 BT covers up to 3 metres.
Does the barrier include battery backup?
Battery backup is optional. Ask for it in the quotation if powered operation during outages is required.
Which safety features are provided?
Encoder-based impact response and controlled slowdown are listed features. The installer should also specify the detection and safety devices needed for the particular vehicle lane.
Can it be used at an industrial entrance?
It is suitable for intensive vehicle access applications, provided the lane width, operating environment and selected accessories match the project requirements.
