When securing an unoccupied property, it’s essential to strike a balance between security and practicality. Marpol’s temporary vehicle access gates offer a smart solution for controlling vehicle entry at vacant commercial and residential sites, allowing authorised access while keeping unauthorised visitors out.
Installed quickly and configured to suit the site layout, our gates are designed to help prevent fly-tipping, trespass, and unauthorised parking while maintaining access for contractors, surveyors, or facilities teams.

Vacant properties and plots are frequent targets for unlawful vehicle access. This can lead to:
Traveller encampments and trespassers
Illegal dumping or fly-tipping
Damage to land or infrastructure
Obstructed access for authorised site workers
Higher costs in enforcement and cleanup
Our temporary gates act as a visible, physical deterrent to unauthorised vehicles while preserving legitimate access for those who need it.
Durable and tamper-resistant, designed for extended outdoor use.
Suitable for private roads, car parks, driveways, and open plots.
Gates can be supplied with Marpol keyholding or client-only access.
Installed as a standalone solution or alongside fencing and barriers.
Can be used short-term during inspections or for long-term site security.
