ACC Security Solutions Limited is a North West-based specialist in the design, installation, maintenance and monitoring of automatic barriers and electromechanical security bollards for commercial premises across the North of England.
Whether you need to control vehicle access at the gate or stop it dead at the kerb, BFT's barriers and bollards are engineered for continuous commercial use — not occasional domestic cycles.
Entrance automation doesn't have to sit apart from the rest of your security system. Barriers and bollards can be triggered by your access control system, ANPR cameras, or an intercom or keypad, so a verified vehicle or visitor is let straight through without a member of staff needing to buzz them in — and every raise, lower or open event can be logged alongside your CCTV footage for a complete audit trail.
Rated for up to 5,000 cycles a day, built for sites where the barrier is never really "off".
The Giotto barrier clears a 3m boom in as little as 2.2 seconds, keeping traffic moving at busy entrances.
Below-ground housing and a 6,000 Joule impact rating stand up to vehicle strikes and standing water alike.
Works alongside your access control, ANPR and CCTV systems for verified, logged vehicle access.
ACC Security Solutions works with BFT's automatic barrier and electromechanical bollard range — both available as part of your installation, integrated with the rest of your site's security.
Entry-level barrier built for intensive commercial use, clearing drive-through gaps of up to 6 metres with a 24V DC motor and full LED light crown for visibility day or night.
Electromechanical rising bollard available in 500mm or 700mm heights, with a 6,000 Joule impact rating and fail-safe manual operation if power is lost — control up to four bollards from a single panel.
Full technical specifications and datasheets are provided at quotation stage — get in touch for a system designed around your building.

“ACC Security successfully delivered a highly complex integrated security and life-safety project across our large office complex. The installation included a fully addressable EN 54-compliant fire alarm system, fully integrated with CCTV, intruder alarms, access control and ANPR vehicle barriers.
Simon Farmer, Managing Director of ACC Security, took the lead throughout the design and project delivery. His professionalism, technical expertise and attention to detail ensured that the project was delivered efficiently and to an exceptionally high standard.
Despite the scale and complexity of the installation, the project was delivered successfully with excellent coordination and minimal disruption to our operations. The finished system provides us with a comprehensive, fully integrated security solution that meets our requirements.
We are exceptionally happy with the completed installation and would have no hesitation in recommending ACC Security for complex commercial security and fire protection projects.”
“ACC Security installed a new Paxton access control system for us here at Manchester Chamber of Commerce, and the whole process was completed without fuss and on time. Having worked with the team previously, it was great to reconnect with them again after moving into my new role at the Chamber — the same professionalism and reliability I remembered. Happy to recommend them for access control work.”
“We recently engaged ACC Security to install a fully addressable commercial fire alarm system at our premises in Wilmslow. From the initial consultation through to completion, Simon and his team were professional, efficient and extremely reliable.
The project was completed on time and within the agreed budget, with minimal disruption to our business. We were particularly impressed with the quality of the installation and the attention to detail throughout.
We would have no hesitation in recommending ACC Security to other businesses looking for a professional and dependable fire alarm installation company.”
“We've worked with ACC Security for many years across our Running Bear stores, with CCTV, intruder alarm and fire systems installed at several branches. As a multi-site retail business, consistency matters to us, and ACC have always delivered the same high standard of work and service wherever we've needed them. They also look after security at my own private residence, which tells you everything about the level of trust we've built with them over the years.”
Whether it's a new installation, a maintenance contract or a monitoring query, we're happy to help.
