Alvarado offers solutions for clothing and department stores, electronics retailers, warehouse and home improvement centers, and a wide range of other retail applications.

STORE ENTRY / CUSTOMER FLOW / LOSS PREVENTION
Alvarado's modular Post & Rail System is a proven method of directing patron flow, and can also be used for controlling shopping cart access and for indoor cart corrals. Available in standard double and triple-rail post configurations, and dozens of stock railing lengths, Alvarado Post & Rail is economical, durable and easily configured and installed for most any type of store layout. Chrome, stainless steel and powdercoat finishes are available.

For greater security and queuing effectiveness, Alvarado offers four-arm turnstiles designed for retail patron flow and loss prevention applications. Available models include the MT and SPT.

Gates are also used to provide handicapped paton and store personnel access as well as providing product loading and unloading access. Alvarado offers several models to meet your specific needs. Be sure to consider ADA and building code requirements when selecting gates for entrance control usage. Alvarado offers both manual swing and self-closing gates.

CART ENTRY
Alvarado's rugged GDO gate is suitable for use in cart pass applications. GDO self-closing gate arms open in a single direction and include welded crash plates and high impact bumper strips, making them suitable for demanding environments, such as home improvement and warehouse stores that use heavy-duty carts. For added security in cart-pass applications, the GDO is typically installed in pairs (one pair of gates installed directly behind the other) making it difficult for patrons to exit the “wrong way”, and reducing shrinkage.

ASSET PROTECTION
Display cases and other fixtures represent a significant investment for retailers. Alvarado offers a number of products to protect these valuable assets, including our popular Defender SS/XT removable steel corner guards. Defender SS corner guards are available with unique color accent caps to match a variety of decors. For fixed-anchored case guards, Alvarado also offers our classic CPI and CRI corner guards.

Modular floor bumper systems are also used to protect cases and fixtures, and may additionally be used with Post & Rail for cart corral applications. Available products include Alvarado's stainless steel SSB removable bumper systems, and our heavy-duty spring-action CB cart bumper system.

To protect main entry and back room doors, storage area equipment, as well as refrigerated case corners, Alvarado offers a line of fixed, removable and core-drilled Protection Posts. These durable steel posts & bollards are available in various models and finishes suitable for a wide range of applications.
