The Flip Up Flood Barrier provides powerful, reliable flood protection for doorways, loading bays, and wide openings — with the flexibility of manual or fully automated operation.

When not in use, the barrier is completely recessed into the floor, offering totally unrestricted access for pedestrians and vehicles. In the event of flooding, the barrier can rise automatically as floodwaters rise or be activated in advance via push button — giving you full control to respond proactively.

Key Features

  • Available in manual or fully automated flip systems
  • Fully recessed into the ground when not in use — zero obstruction to traffic or pedestrians
  • Automatic activation as floodwaters rise, or push-button pre-deployment
  • Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and manual override backup for failsafe operation
  • Single system protects openings up to 12 metres wide
  • Multiple systems can be linked with intermediate posts for extended flood defence runs
  • Flood defence heights of up to 4 metres available (span-dependent)
  • Wide range of surface finishes available

Loading docks, building entrances, underground car parks, industrial facilities, and any location requiring unobstructed daily access combined with high-performance flood protection.
