What is Dofygate?

A barrier you can put anywhere, today

Dofygate is an automatic traffic barrier built around a solar panel. The folding carbon-fibre arm closes a 3–6 m gateway, opens from a handheld transmitter, keypad, intercom or sensor, and swings in from the side so drivers and pedestrians keep a clear view.

Because there is nothing to dig, wire or commission, it goes wherever the risk is this week — site entrances, plant and pedestrian crossings, weighbridges, yards, road closures — and moves again when the job does.

Why Dofygate

Safe. Solar. Mobile. Tough.
