Boom Barriers
Automatic boom barriers for vehicle lanes, most of them driven by 24 V DC brushless motors. Compare boom length against the clear lane width, opening time, motor life in cycles (MCBF), straight or telescopic boom, and operating temperature range, then plan the loop detector, UHF reader or ANPR camera that will trigger it.

How to choose a boom barrier
- Boom length: measure the clear lane width. Longer booms cover wider roads but take longer to open and close.
- Opening speed: fast barriers suit busy car parks, while a slower one is fine for a society gate with occasional vehicles.
- Duty cycle: a barrier that opens hundreds of times a day needs a motor rated for continuous duty, so match the rating to your traffic.
- Boom type: straight, folding and fence booms suit different sites. Folding booms help where headroom is low, such as basement parking.
- Safety and triggering: plan a loop detector or radar sensor so the boom never closes on a vehicle, and choose how vehicles open it: remote, card reader, UHF tag or ANPR.
Add safety devices from sensors and safety devices, and for hands-free entry look at long-range UHF vehicle access. For multi-lane jobs, request a quote.
