What's Included in a Quality Boom Gate System

Boom gate investment levels vary because each installation is tailored to the site, traffic conditions, and security requirements. Below are the key factors that influence system design and overall project scope.

Built for Security and Controlled Access

Commercial and industrial boom gates are designed to prevent unauthorised vehicle access while maintaining safe entry and exit points. Overall system cost reflects heavy duty construction, safety sensors, and reliable access control components required for secure operation.

Designed to Improve Traffic Flow

High quality boom gate systems use fast opening motors, loop detection, and traffic management hardware to reduce congestion and delays. These elements are essential for busy car parks, commercial premises, and industrial sites with frequent vehicle movement.

Customised to Suit Your Site

No two sites are the same. Installation budgets are influenced by factors such as arm length, access control requirements, system integration, civil works, and site layout. A tailored approach ensures reliable real world performance.

Engineered for Heavy Use and Longevity

Industrial grade boom gates are built for continuous operation and long service life. Investment levels reflect durable components, professional installation, compliance with safety standards, and long term reliability backed by warranty and local support.

Boom Gate Features

Ground Induction Loop

In-ground induction loop is a critical component in the safety and functionality of a boom gate system. It enables accurate vehicle detection, enhances access control, and ensures the safety of vehicles and pedestrians in the vicinity.

Ultrasonic and photoelectric beam safety.

Ultrasonic & PE Beam Safety

Safety ultrasonic and photoelectric sensors are a great option in situations where inground loops can't be installed combined with a photoelectric sensor to maximise the safety of the boom gate system.

Ticket System & Wireless Intercom

Car park payment and ticket system with integrated boom gate controls and wireless GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) intercom systems to manage your carpark remotely from your mobile phone.

Boom Gate Catch Post

The catch post provides structural support for larger boom gate poles, prevents overruns and continuities to the overall safety and longevity of the boom gate system. It also aligns the boom gate pole during operation, ensuring smooth and reliable functionality.

Security Ground Spikes

Boom gate ground spikes, also known as road spikes or tire shredders, bolster boom gate security by preventing unauthorised vehicles from breaching secure perimeters. Installed on roadways before boom gates, they effectively control access to specific areas.

Integrated Traffic Light System

Traffic lights are often integrated with boom gates to manage the flow of vehicles in and out of a specific area. This programmable logic controller (PLC) integration enhances safety, controls traffic, and ensures efficient operation.

Automatic Boom Gate Safety

Boom gates are essential components in access control systems, and incorporating safety features is critical to prevent accidents, ensure user safety, and protect the equipment.

Here's a list of safety features to consider:

Vehicle and obstacle detection
Inground induction loops and photocell sensors detect vehicles and obstructions in the gate's path, stopping or reversing the arm automatically to prevent collisions.
Anti-crush and safety edge protection
Sensitive strips along the boom arm trigger an immediate stop and reverse if contact is made with any person or object during operation.
Battery backup and manual release
A battery backup keeps the system running during a power outage, with a manual release available if the system needs to be operated independently.
Controlled speed and visibility
Adjustable opening and closing speeds reduce the risk of accidents, with reflective striping and warning lights ensuring the gate is clearly visible in all conditions.
Wind resistance and structural durability
Systems are built to maintain safe operation in adverse weather, with automatic adjustments in high-wind conditions to prevent damage and ensure reliable performance.
