Maybe "Anlage" does not have to be translated necessarily, it just means there will be a mechanism installed that either lifts it or lowers it, imagine. Maybe this helps

maybe you could add: a mechanical dewvice for closing beam, but it makes it rather awkward

3 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Dear all,
I always really appreciate all the input. In the end I choose "barrier system" because this is used for car parks. However, if closing barrier had been a separate answer, it would have gotten full points."

(lockable) parking post
I haven't been able to find an example of the German term used in this sense, but it seems very likely this is what is meant:
Keep Thieves at Bay with removable, fold down, hooped and telescopic security and hinged parking posts. Ideal for driveways and protecting your parking space against anti-social parking.

http://www.lockshop-warehouse.co.uk/acatalog/Lockshop_Wareho...
They can also be referred to as "locking bars", which is closer to the German, but this could be ambiguous, as it could possibly be seen to refer to a specific part of the locking mechanism itself, rather than the entire assembly.
There is a reserved parking space outside the building with a locking bar so people don't park there when you are gone.

When I read your question, I zoomed in on parking space, thus overlooking vacant lot. The parking post idea is really only appropriate for individual parking spaces, not a larger space - sorry.
