Truck Gate Intercom Systems: Clear, Reliable Communication in the Noisiest Environments

Find out how truck gate intercoms deliver clear, reliable communication in high noise environments and solve common gate issues

The Challenges of Communicating at Truck Gates

1. Diesel Engines are LOUD

You can’t hear yourself think with roaring engines, air brakes and all the other ambient noise present at truck gates. Drivers simply can't hear cheap, un-amplified speakers.

2. Poor Audio

Sure you can crank up the volume, but can your gate operators understand what drivers are saying with all the engine noise also being amplified?

3. Limited Driver Accessibility

Truck drivers often struggle to reach intercom call buttons due to obstructing side mirrors and the size of the cab. This can lead to delayed responses or force drivers to lean out of the window to make contact, creating a safety risk. In many cases, drivers must position their vehicle extremely close to the intercom to press the button, increasing the likelihood of accidental impact and potential damage to both the equipment and the truck.

Solution: Truck Gate Intercom Systems

Purpose-built truck gate two-way radios overcome the challenges above through:

Heavy Duty Audio

Enough volume and automatic audio leveling so everyone can hear, no matter how loud the truck engine is. For extreme cases, there is also an amplified horn speaker option.

Noise Control Technologies

A suite of technologies that work to ensure clear communication. These include Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) and Automatic Microphone Gain Control.

Hands-Free Operation

Drivers don’t need to touch anything to communicate with the gate operator. Options include auto-answer or sensors to trigger the call and full-duplex conversation.

Truck gate intercoms are built to withstand high-volume traffic and harsh conditions.

High Powered Two-Way Radio Speech Never Gets Lost

Our truck gate intercoms use a powerful amplifier that automatically adjusts for louder trucks so callers don’t need to yell. If you require more volume for specialized applications, we also have an amplified horn speaker option.

Active Noise Management

• Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) works to cancel out truck engine noise and heavy background noise
• Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) suppresses feedback and squealing at high volumes
• Automatic Mic Gain Control automatically adjusts the mic sensitivity level depending on how close drivers are to the intercom

True Hands-Free Two-Way Radio Operation

• Full Duplex speech without holding any buttons
• Drivers don’t need to rush to answer calls which improves safety for everyone.
• Auto-answer function – A call from the gate operator turns on the outside unit without the driver needing to push any buttons.
• Sensor activation — Optionally, when a sensor detects a vehicle it calls the inside unit. Gate operator presses a button to answer.

Scalability for Busy Sites

Truck facilities aren’t always single-lanes. Communication doesn’t have to stop when your needs increase.

• Support for additional indoor and outdoor stations
• Ability to selectively page individual lanes or outside stations
• Gatehouse operators can talk to each other internally
• Supported for busy multi-lane applications

Choose How you Want to Communicate

Plug in a handset, use a wireless headset, or take advantage of hands-free capabilities with a full-duplex speakerphone. The choice is up to you and what your gate operators prefer.

VoIP Technology for Easy Installation

Our truck gate intercom systems can be easily installed using CAT5/CAT6 Ethernet wiring and VoIP technology.

• Quick and easy plug and play installation
• Operates independently of your network so system will never drop calls
• Can optionally integrate with your network for remote viewing and management
• Can be converted to wireless using standard bridging equipment

Customers Love how Clear these Intercoms Sound

“This is a superior product. The quality quality of the products and the quality of sound are amazing. It is super clear when talking to the truck driver, even with their truck running. I literally cannot hear the truck outside when I'm talking with the driver over the scale house phone. This is going to be the only product we use moving forward..”
