<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;">This might be taking added security to a new level!</span><span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;">“ Usually”, by installing a Newgate Challenger Traffic
Barrier across your entrance this sorts out your traffic control problems. </span><span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;">If in doubt, just dump pallet loads of concrete slabs in and
around the area! </span><o:p><span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;">Unfortunately, signage, lights, curtains etc. are available
as standard Newgate barrier accessories, whereas concrete slabs must be
obtained from your local D.I.Y. store.</span><o:p><span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;">If you really need greater security – check out our web site
for Rising Kerbs/Road Blockers (</span><a href="http://www.newgate.uk.com/"><span style="color: blue; font-family: Gill Sans MT;">www.newgate.uk.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Gill Sans MT;">

This is the reason why you should invest in Newgate’s after sales maintenance service!<br />
<br />
If you don’t, your barrier could also be overrun with weeds, infested with spiders and<br />
buried in goodness knows what.<br />
<br />
Your barrier can be serviced and maintained for only a couple of hundred pounds per<br />
year, and for this we can make it work ‘like a sewing machine’.<br />

For reasons of your personal safety we cannot inform you of the identity of this Newgate site engineer. We could tell you that he is trained to kill with his bare hands and that he can<br />
jump out of an aircraft without a parachute.<br />
<br />
What we can tell you is that he is fully Health & Safety conscious, he glows in<br />
the dark, and he is not related to the “Stig”. For covert barrier and gate installations, this is your man. For road blocker and turnstile installations, there is no-one better.<br />

For dating your sister – forget it.</div>

Yesterday, this was part of the perimeter of an oil depot. Today it looks as though a typhoon has hit it.<br />
Somewhere amongst the debris is a Newgate (or what’s left of it) Pedestrian Swing Gate.<br />
I know that Newgate are good, but miracle workers we are not. Yet! The client wanted this repaired and operational within 24 hours.<br />

Most modern motor vehicles are now fitted with Air-Con, ABS, Sat-Nav etc, as<br />
<br />
standard. Unfortunately, traffic barrier manufacturers don’t follow the same trends.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
When this customer wanted an air conditioning system fitted to his traffic barrier,<br />
<br />
he took it upon himself to modify his barrier to suit! Granted, he is eco-friendly and has gone green, but I can’t see the aesthetics of the air-con catching on! For ‘proper’<br />

They also do swing gates but not to operate around corners or up hill!Newgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204019455917517822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829801518513986851.post-31099888467842007072012-01-06T20:36:00.001+00:002012-05-03T19:47:34.007+01:00Scrapheap Challenge-Channel 4 – Sunday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlzMArZ8_igNQdOIQ8e3HntnMbOLOtTOWoKJlM1jFSkefuXTVh9Kw86rJAlqN-7rG3SQ4CNx53fUUeNCFyhqGwBmbtFtCyLCM9_NOnE4a2kPEqLTwD5p0LKZbN1ficLbYQSE9r08kmtGE/s1600/Scrapheap+Challenge.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5695739483707951058" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlzMArZ8_igNQdOIQ8e3HntnMbOLOtTOWoKJlM1jFSkefuXTVh9Kw86rJAlqN-7rG3SQ4CNx53fUUeNCFyhqGwBmbtFtCyLCM9_NOnE4a2kPEqLTwD5p0LKZbN1ficLbYQSE9r08kmtGE/s320/Scrapheap+Challenge.jpg" /></a>This week’s challenge is to build a Rubber Band Powered Helicopter that can also go underwater.<br />This (surplus to requirements) Electric Traffic Barrier could be stripped down as the basis for our “Submacopter”. The Barriers Pulley and Gearbox are obviously part of the new driver. train. The balance weights can be used for ballast. The road cones for buoyancy but buggered if I can spot a rubber band.

Is it a 21st century witch on a broomstick? Is it an electric barrier that installs itself and tidies up afterwards? Was it a traffic barrier that now wants to be a storage cupboard for health and safety equipment? Any other suggestions? Newgate’s range of electric Rising Arm Car Park Barriers (This is not a Newgate Barrier by the way) come with many practical accessories, but road cones and sweeping brushes are not two of them!!<br /><br /><br /><div></div>Newgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204019455917517822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829801518513986851.post-46246738041908866832011-11-28T19:17:00.000+00:002011-11-30T20:18:45.020+00:00What in Earth !!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS1qegSrS9BII42v43Mafq1eb0eaHo-XuK-zKBafTx3k7b_I0_kNIDFPQSJZ8my2eWS4GbqTVJunCBY9jt5mK_xKRi9MLyVqy0KC72dtHWjeE32SpI5F5tAtC4WmTu9l-Hsnyin4a2dho/s1600/What+on+Earth-1.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677530619733444450" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS1qegSrS9BII42v43Mafq1eb0eaHo-XuK-zKBafTx3k7b_I0_kNIDFPQSJZ8my2eWS4GbqTVJunCBY9jt5mK_xKRi9MLyVqy0KC72dtHWjeE32SpI5F5tAtC4WmTu9l-Hsnyin4a2dho/s320/What+on+Earth-1.jpg" /></a> It was on the UK news recently a man was jailed for four and a half years for stealing a JCB digger and running riot through streets and demolishing grave stones in a cemetery.<br />Newgate has its own version of this. This manitou driver was clearly having a bad day when he tried to run over a Newgate “ Challenger” Rising Arm Barrier. Our electric barriers are usually very resilient to abuse and bad weather, but they are not crash rated.<br />Please do not try this at home, but instead check out our website for our complete range of Barriers, Gates and Road Blockers. www.newgate.uk.comNewgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204019455917517822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829801518513986851.post-84743446944793538012011-11-18T19:03:00.000+00:002011-11-21T19:11:58.272+00:00Battered and Bruised<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLE4YFYx-SXyOCAN8KtChwV0gstQkxhZyp6pibQ5bYU0xwtApiQLMw9l290AnuM8lF9J2NahRuYIzYNlzQprPMRhGLhGYEH1BEalkyc1bF7O3mL1izjREPARHwlHRoAK8nILffZuASbfs/s1600/Battered+%2526+Bruised.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677528588087062098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLE4YFYx-SXyOCAN8KtChwV0gstQkxhZyp6pibQ5bYU0xwtApiQLMw9l290AnuM8lF9J2NahRuYIzYNlzQprPMRhGLhGYEH1BEalkyc1bF7O3mL1izjREPARHwlHRoAK8nILffZuASbfs/s320/Battered+%2526+Bruised.jpg" /></a> This poor old Challenger Traffic Barrier has certainly seen better days and is looking very sorry for its self. The pole is bent, kinked and certainly no longer tubular. The bottom curtain is held on by goodness knows what? The stop discs are smashed and the cabinet lid is rusty.<br />This could now prove a costly repair, but it could have been avoided if the client had taken out a standard maintenance package out with Newgate.<br />For details of our after sales cover, visit our website <a href="http://www.newgate.uk.com/pages/repair.php">http://www.newgate.uk.com/pages/repair.php</a> or call our service staff on 01636 70400Newgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204019455917517822noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829801518513986851.post-50099051393385503552011-11-07T20:14:00.001+00:002012-05-03T19:48:05.111+01:00C.S.I Miami<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgtv_6sSIr7I_OmDznDunOCtRNsZcDExWuHVHUKCv6PmoeFsrzFAYOk3DZ05lYuAGzWJNduhRqnpj2QzMNGLV6AV03nrqlpvUEMeWl6TttjEu4aS2HHF6A6wOmfkbgmdVtS7gVjGEDEgo/s1600/csi.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5667515024201381234" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgtv_6sSIr7I_OmDznDunOCtRNsZcDExWuHVHUKCv6PmoeFsrzFAYOk3DZ05lYuAGzWJNduhRqnpj2QzMNGLV6AV03nrqlpvUEMeWl6TttjEu4aS2HHF6A6wOmfkbgmdVtS7gVjGEDEgo/s320/csi.jpg" /></a>Scene of crime officers have been to this Royal Mail site and have identified where the body was found! Did the visitor use the walkway? Did the barrier commit the crime? It almost sounds like a quote from the Cluedo game.<br />The postman, murdered in the car park, by the traffic barrier!! (Beats the lead piping and Professor plum any day) Newgate will have to “stamp” their authority on this one and mend the “post” or barrier "first class".Newgatehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06204019455917517822noreply@blogger.com0
