Car wash tunnels, parking structures, toll lanes, and commercial vehicle access points require sensors that detect vehicles reliably across the full range of vehicle sizes, ground clearances, and approach speeds — in the presence of water spray, road salt, steam, and the wide variation in vehicle undercarriage reflectivity. The Bircher ProLoop and EasyLoop product lines are purpose-built for exactly these conditions.
Pantron Photoelectric Systems
Pantron photoelectric systems sense vehicle presence at car wash entry gates, triggering the wash program and preventing the tunnel from running empty.
Bircher EasyLoop D.6
Bircher EasyLoop D.6 radar sensor provides vehicle detection at car wash entry points without cutting loops into the concrete floor — ideal for new installs and floor renovations.
Bircher ProLoop
Bircher ProLoop Lite single-channel loop detectors trigger barrier gate arms at parking structures and gated communities, operating reliably with all vehicle types including motorcycles and low-ground-clearance vehicles.
Bircher PrimeScan
Bircher PrimeScan A active infrared sensors provide secondary closing-edge protection on car wash entry and exit doors, preventing door closure on a partially exited vehicle.
Bircher Hercules 2s
Bircher Hercules 2s microwave motion detectors activate industrial overhead doors at drive-through facilities and truck washing bays, with adjustable detection fields that handle motorcycles through semi-trailers.
ExpertSystem XL
Bircher ExpertSystem XL pressure-sensitive safety edges protect the drive-on platforms of automated parking lifts, stopping platform movement on contact.
