Boom Arm: The long horizontal bar that swings up or down to block or allow vehicle passage.
Barrier Body: The casing that houses the mechanical or electrical components of the boom barrier.
Motor or Actuator: This mechanism lifts or lowers the boom arm automatically. It can be electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic.
Control System: This could include sensors, remote controls, keypads, or access card readers to operate the barrier.
Safety Sensors: To ensure safe operation, sensors detect the presence of vehicles or obstacles, preventing accidents.
Warning Lights or Alarms: These can be attached to the barrier for additional visibility and to warn drivers of the barriers operation.
Manual Boom Barrier: Requires manual lifting and lowering of the boom arm, typically used for low-traffic areas.
Automatic Boom Barrier: Uses an electric motor to raise and lower the boom arm automatically. Common in high-traffic areas.
Hydraulic Boom Barrier: Uses hydraulic power to lift the boom arm, typically found in high-security areas due to their durability and speed.
Telescopic Boom Barrier: The boom arm can extend or retract, making it useful for narrower or wider entrances.
Speed: The boom arm may raise or lower in a few seconds, depending on the type of barrier.
Durability: Designed for outdoor environments, the materials are often weather-resistant.
Security: Commonly used for security purposes in places like gated communities, industrial areas, or access-controlled parking.
Visibility: The boom arm is often brightly colored or marked with reflective tape to be easily visible.
Parking Management: In commercial or residential parking lots to manage entry and exit.
Toll Collection: To restrict or allow vehicles to pass through toll booths.
Security Gate: Used in government buildings, airports, military zones, and private properties.
Access Control: In facilities that need to regulate vehicle access, such as offices or construction sites.
Vehicles approach the boom barrier, and the driver may need to perform an action (e.g., swipe a card, input a code, or wait for the barrier to raise automatically).
Once the action is confirmed, the motor or actuator will raise or lower the boom arm, allowing the vehicle to pass.
The barrier is then lowered automatically after the vehicle passes, or the driver can trigger it to lower.
