FAAC in Egypt is more than a gate motor. Indeed, FAAC’s portfolio spans vehicle barriers, gate automation, automatic pedestrian entrances, traffic and high-security bollards, access control, parking systems, industrial doors, high-speed doors, garage doors, roller shutters and automation accessories. Consequently, this guide maps the FAAC ecosystem to real applications in Egypt and explains how STC Security can help with specification, supply, installation and after-sales support.
Founded in Italy in 1965, FAAC built its global reputation around gate automation and hydraulic technology. Today, the ecosystem extends far beyond a single gate operator; it includes vehicle barriers, pedestrian entrances, bollards, access control, parking systems, industrial doors and automation accessories.

FAAC Automatic Barriers & Parking Barriers
Designed to manage vehicle flow effectively, FAAC automatic barriers serve residential compounds, corporate entrances, industrial facilities, toll points and public or private parking areas. For this reason, the current barrier range includes B614, B680H, 620 and 615BPR, with boom lengths and opening speeds selected according to the application.
Choosing a FAAC Barrier for Traffic and Lane Conditions
PRODUCT 01
FAAC B680H — 24V Hybrid Automatic Barrier
B680H
Hybrid hydraulic + brushless motor • Intensive / continuous use
The B680H seamlessly combines a brushless motor with robust hydraulic technology. For diverse needs, FAAC specifies boom lengths from 2 to 8 metres, opening times from 1.5 to 6 seconds depending on configuration, and continuous use. Moreover, the system incorporates an absolute encoder for movement control and precise obstacle detection.
Regarding versatility, the B614 is a 24V automatic barrier with an integrated encoder and anti-crushing safety concept. Consequently, it is positioned for vehicle access applications where controlled, safe and efficient traffic management is required.
PRODUCT 03
FAAC 620 & 615BPR — Established Barrier Platforms
Additionally, the FAAC 620 is available in configurations for heavy traffic, while the 615BPR serves as a hydraulic barrier for medium transit frequency and small-to-medium private areas. Therefore, the correct model should be selected based on traffic frequency, boom length, speed, lane layout and safety requirements.
FAAC Sliding Gate & Swing Gate Automation
Through advanced engineering, FAAC gate automation can convert many existing sliding or swing gates into automated entrances. To achieve this, the range uses hydraulic, electromechanical and HYbrid approaches depending on gate geometry, leaf weight and frequency of use.
FAAC Sliding Gate Automation
For residential, commercial and industrial entrances, these systems offer robust sliding-gate solutions. Consequently, FAAC highlights gate leaf weight and usage frequency as key selection criteria.
