Site Security enhanced with FBS Hörmann Perimeter Protection Solutions

Partnering with Lysander, FBS Hörmann have supplied and fitted high security access gates and automatic car park barriers at a new, state-of-the-art, secure warehousing facility in Kettering

Two high-security, heavy duty FBS5800 Automatic Cantilever gates have been installed to secure the entrance and exit of the transport yard. Measuring 7800mm x 2400mm and 6000mm x 2400mm respectively, the gates are manufactured from high strength steel. The unique design of the gates means that a ground track is not required making them particularly suited for areas of consistent heavy traffic movement. Both gates have been finished in RAL 6005 Moss Green.

FBS Hörmann undertook all the civil works required to install the foundation padstones onto which the gates were fixed and due to rising ground levels on the site a channel was created into which the gates run as they open. To protect the area around the opening gate, security fencing was installed to comply with current legislation and Armco barriers were also installed to provide an additional level of protection.

Work to the employee car park included the installation of two FBS3850 Heavy Duty Automatic Barriers with access control via an Intercom system. The barriers are fitted with a bottom skirt, LED boom lights and integrated Pogo tip support in the skirt. 12 high visibility stainless steel bollards have also been installed and positioned to create a one-way system.

FBS Hörmann also supplied and installed 31 large stone boulders around the perimeter of the car park to provide an aesthetically pleasing, yet effective method of perimeter protection to comply with planning conditions.

Commenting on the installation, Phil MacAndrew Technical Field Sales at FBS Hörmann, “Having access to a wide range of Perimeter systems, which includes gates, barriers, and bollards, we were able to work with Lysander to specify and fit a solution which suited their clients specific site requirements. With our own installation teams we were able to offer them the assurance that the whole team are highly qualified and skilled, plus the fact they are able to fulfil the more unusual requirements such as the installation of the boulders surrounding the car park.”

Working closely with Lysander, Hörmann provided a comprehensive turnkey solution, managing every stage of the project from initial consultation and site surveying to product specification, installation, and final sign-off. Their team worked seamlessly alongside other contractors on-site, ensuring smooth coordination and timely project delivery.

Building Better Together: Ellard and Marantec Germany – A Partnership You Can Rely On

In the industrial door industry, reliability isn’t just about products, it’s about people. Installers and engineers need suppliers who understand their challenges, respond quickly, and make their work easier. For Ellard, that’s always been the focus: combining dependable products with the service, knowledge, and support that keep projects running smoothly.

That philosophy has shaped Ellard’s long-standing partnership with Marantec Germany. Built on shared values of quality, innovation, and integrity, the partnership brings together Marantec Germany’s renowned motor technology and Ellard’s understanding of the UK market. Together, they deliver solutions that are simple to install, built to last, and supported by people who care about getting it right.

At the heart of this collaboration is Ellard’s Promax+ control panel, developed to complement the strength and precision of the Marantec MDF motor range. The two work seamlessly together to create a true plug-and-play system that saves time and reduces complexity on site. Digital limit setting, clear fault messages, and modular plug-in options make installations faster and troubleshooting easier, small details that make a big difference for busy installers.

Every aspect of the Promax+ has been shaped by real-world feedback. The goal wasn’t to reinvent what already works, but to refine it, producing a system that’s intuitive, adaptable, and ready to perform straight out of the box. When paired with Marantec’s proven motors, the result is a clean, reliable, and professional finish every time.

All Marantec products are manufactured in Mainland Europe and assembled in Germany, where every motor and component is built to the brand’s exacting standards. That German-made quality is the foundation of the range’s reputation for reliability and performance, and it’s the same trusted source for every Marantec motor supplied through Ellard.

Beyond technology, what customers value most about Ellard is its approach to service. With extensive UK stock and responsive technical support, help is always at hand. Whether it’s product advice, on-site guidance, or after-sales care, Ellard’s team brings a practical, collaborative attitude to every job. It’s this steady consistency, rather than big promises, that has built lasting trust among installers and distributors alike.

Ellard’s partnership with Marantec Germany continues to grow from that same foundation of respect and shared purpose. Both companies focus on creating products that not only meet technical standards but also make everyday installation work simpler and safer. It’s a relationship centred on listening, learning, and supporting those who use the products every day.

In an industry where reliability and service go hand in hand, Ellard is proud to work alongside Marantec Germany in delivering dependable, easy-to-use solutions backed by real people and genuine experience. For customers, it means confidence, knowing they have the right products, the right support, and a partner they can count on.
