They are also an excellent way to monitor and control traffic-flow.
Boom Gates
Boom gates are typically used for car parks, apartment complexes and tollbooths to control the flow of traffic. Boom gates are a great way to prevent unauthorised vehicle entry.
Boom gates consist of a motor body, control unit (powered by 230V or 24V DC to ensure high-performance and safety), and an extended arm to halt vehicle traffic. Two boom gates can be positioned opposite each other for use in wide entrances. They also come in a variety of different finishes.
Barrier Gates
Even when traffic is heavy, barrier gates are the ideal way to control vehicle transit in:
- public parking areas
- car parks
- private entrances
- entrances to a block of flats/units.
They are made of a motor body and control unit, protected by a case with different finishes (for example, in stainless steel for use in heavy traffic areas or near the sea). There are motorizations powered by 230 V and by 24 V DC, which ensure high-performance and safety. Barrier Gates are ideal for the automation of private and public car parks, which are subject to frequent vehicle transit during the day.
Choice of Gates
The specific model of automatic barrier gates you’ll need will depend on the width of the entrance and their purpose.
