An automatic boom barrier, also known as a boom gate or boom barrier system, is a device used to control vehicular access in various locations such as parking lots, toll booths, industrial facilities, and residential complexes. It is designed to regulate the entry and exit of vehicles by raising or lowering a horizontal arm, known as a boom, in response to signals from a control system.
The boom barrier system typically consists of a sturdy metal arm that spans the width of the entrance or exit. The boom can be customized in terms of length and materials to suit the specific requirements of the location. It is usually equipped with reflective strips for better visibility, especially during nighttime or adverse weather conditions.
