A Boom Barrier, also known as a Barrier Gate, is an automatic gate control system used to manage vehicular access in parking lots, toll plazas, industrial areas, and secured premises. It consists of a horizontal arm (boom) that moves up and down to allow or restrict vehicle entry. Boom barriers are widely used for traffic management, security control, and automation of entry/exit points. Modern boom barriers come with electric motors, remote control operation, automatic sensors, and integration with access control systems like RFID, ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), and intercoms. They are robust, durable, and designed for high-frequency use. Key Benefits: Efficient and reliable traffic control Can be integrated with access control systems Quick opening and closing for smooth traffic flow Safety features to prevent vehicle or pedestrian accidents Suitable for high-volume commercial and industrial areas Easy installation and low maintenance
