Articulated Boom Barriers
Extended Arm Barriers
🔹 Articulated Boom Barriers for Low Height Car Parks
Articulated boom barriers are specifically designed for installations where there are height restrictions, such as underground or multi-storey car parks. Unlike standard barriers with a fixed straight arm, these systems feature a jointed boom that allows the arm to fold as it raises, making them ideal for areas with limited overhead clearance.
This design enables longer barrier arms to be installed in spaces where a full-length straight boom would not be practical. As the barrier opens, the articulated arm bends at the joint, ensuring smooth operation without the risk of striking ceilings, pipework or structural elements.
🔹 Key Benefits of Articulated Barriers
Articulated barrier systems offer several advantages for restricted-height environments:
- Allows installation of longer barrier arms in low-clearance areas
- Prevents damage to ceilings, ducting and overhead structures
- Maintains effective vehicle control without compromising safety
- Smooth and reliable operation with minimal space requirements
- Can be integrated with access control systems such as ANPR and RFID
Articulated boom barriers are commonly used in underground car parks and Multi-storey parking facilities. They are also ideal for basement access points and low ceiling commercial car parks. These arms are greatly use were residential developments have restricted clearance. These environments often require full-width vehicle control but lack the vertical space for standard barrier systems.
🔹 Extended Arm Barriers for Wide Entrances
Extended arm barriers are designed for locations where wider vehicle access points need to be controlled effectively. These systems use longer boom arms than standard barriers, making them ideal for entrances such as large car parks, industrial sites, logistics centres and commercial premises with high traffic flow.
By covering a greater span, extended arm barriers eliminate the need for multiple access points or additional barrier systems, providing a more streamlined and cost-effective solution. Despite their increased length, these barriers are engineered for smooth and reliable operation, with robust motors and balancing systems to ensure consistent performance.
🔹 Key Benefits of Extended Barrier Arms
Extended barrier arm systems offer several advantages for wider access points and larger vehicle entrances:
- Provides effective control across wide entrances with a single barrier system
- Eliminates the need for multiple barriers, reducing installation and maintenance costs
- Ensures smooth and reliable operation even with longer boom lengths
- Maintains safe and controlled vehicle access without restricting traffic flow
- Can be integrated with access control systems such as ANPR and RFID
Extended arm barriers can also be integrated with a range of access control technologies, including ANPR, RFID and intercom systems, allowing for secure and automated vehicle management. Combined with safety features such as ground loops and obstacle detection sensors, they provide an efficient solution for managing wide access points without compromising on safety or control.
