Taking in to the consideration the current scenario where we can see the digitalization of the Road traffic control and management system and digitalized approach towards everything there needs automatic boom barriers.

An automatic boom barrier can be operated through:

Remote Control
Push Button
Loop Detector
RFID tags

Working

Boom Barriers are made up of a barrier arm which is pivoted at the fixed point. It has an AC motor, gearbox, locking plunger and a balancing spring. The AC motor is strong and powerful to lift up the installed barrier arm, it moves in the vertical direction. By giving power supply to the motor, the motor rotates the gearbox which in turn moves the counterbalance channels from horizontal to vertical positions & vice versa.

The gearbox is heat-radiating with high carrying ability. The balancing spring holds the barrier arm from not falling low. The locking plunger enters the locking device smoothly and freely. The boom barriers range from 2m – 6m, the operating temperature ranges from -20 to+ 80°C, this allows to use them in different climatic zones and the operating voltage ranges from 110 to 220 V. Various types of boom barriers like, Straight arm, folding arm, Fence arm and advertising type are available.

LED indicators makes easy to know the movement direction & working of the barrier.

Benefits of Boom Gates:

Boom barriers are reliable, improve security and control the flow of traffic, provide instant privacy from entering of unauthorized persons. They are very durable and made to last. They’re also built to withstand a fair amount of wear and tear, and are low maintenance and efficient in utilizing space.

Thanks to the obstacle detection system which makes barrier to move upwards if any obstacle is detected.

Automation zone provides boom barriers with latest trending technologies like LED boom barrier, RFID boom barrier and also improves the lot more with all the features.

The Way Ahead

The technology has a lot to offer and everything it has till now has simplified our lives.
