Boom Barrier

Boom Barrier

A bar or pole pivotal to allowing the boom to restrict automotive or pedestrian access through a regulated location is called a boom barrier, sometimes called a boom gate. Normally, the point of a boom gate rises vertically in an arc to an almost vertical position. Boom gates are frequently counterweighted, making it simple to tip the pole. Boom gates are frequently used in pairs or with the proper offset to restrict traffic in both directions.
Some boom gates additionally feature a second arm that, when lowered to improve approach visibility, hangs 300–400 millimeters below the upper arm. This arm hangs on links so that when the barrier is lifted, it lies flat with the main boom. Some barriers have a pivot around halfway up so that as the barrier is lifted, the outermost portion stays horizontal, giving the barrier the appearance of an upside-down L.

Key Features
  • Automated parking boom barrier: Since these are mostly placed outside, these boom barriers need to have waterproof materials. The outer coating of these boom barriers is mostly waterproof. Along with it, these are corrosion-resistant too. You must go for the one with an aluminum or aluminum alloy handle.  
  • Automated traffic boom barrier: These are supposed to be sturdy but, at the same time, should have smooth functioning. These also should be made of aluminum with a waterproof coating material. Corrosion resistance is also an important feature of these barriers.’ 
  • Anti-crash boom barrier: This is another type of boom barrier that helps to avoid accidents and risky movements. So, besides stopping and controlling traffic, these anti-crash boom barriers are more efficiently designed to recognize and abolish the risks of accidents. Because of its importance, the materials used to manufacture these boom barriers are long-lasting and sturdy. The best part about these is that there is no necessity for maintenance. These are immune to almost all weather conditions.
