Our core product
Dofygate 4: solar powered barrier gates
The solar, mobile traffic barrier. Delivered assembled, working in minutes, and controlling your gateway all year without a cable in the ground.
Control the gateway, not the groundworks
Dofygate 4 folds in half as it opens. That keeps the open height low, keeps sight lines clear for drivers and pedestrians, and takes so little power that a slim solar panel runs it all year.
Like all Dofygate solar powered barrier gates, it arrives fully assembled. Stand it on its base, unlock the arm and press the button — the weighbridge operator, gateman or traffic marshal now controls the gateway from up to 100 m away.
Safe
100 m transmitter range, a side-approach arm and overload detection that withdraws on contact.
Solar
Runs year-round on a solar-charged battery. No wires, no civils. Mains or battery-only options.
Mobile
25 kg including the battery, with integrated carry handles. Lock the arm and go.
Tough
Break-away clutch, arm lock, tough covers and fully potted IP67 electronics.
