Automatic Boom Gate Installations Sydney
Different Types of Automatic Boom Gate Systems
As a leading installer of Automatic Boom Gates in Sydney for over 30 years, we’ve installed boom gate systems for many of Australia’s leading companies such as Bunnings, Toll, Sydney Airports, Government sites and Schools throughout Sydney metropolitan areas.
The purpose of a Boom Gate is to provide a reliable system to efficiently manage vehicle entry and exit. Below, we explore the different types of Automatic Boom Gate Systems available and their specific applications.
Standard Boom Gate
The standard boom gate, also known as a straight arm boom gate, is the most common type.
This boom gate has a simple horizontal arm that moves up and down to allow or deny vehicle access. Standard boom gates are versatile and suitable for a wide range of environments, from parking lots and residential communities to industrial complexes and commercial facilities.
Articulated Boom Gate
Articulated boom gates, also referred to as "folding" or "articulating" boom gates, consist of multiple sections that fold upon each other as the gate is raised. Articulated boom gates are useful in areas with restricted height clearance for the boom gate arm to extend fully.
Fence Boom Gates
Also known as a boom gate with a boom gate curtain, have a fence or a barrier mounted on the boom gate arm.
This design provides an added layer of security by preventing pedestrians and vehicles from bypassing the gate. Fence boom gates are commonly used in high-security facilities, airports, and areas where perimeter security is crucial.
High-Speed Boom Gate
High-speed boom gates are engineered for rapid operation, offering quick entry and exit for vehicles without compromising security. These gates are often used in areas where traffic flow needs to be optimized while maintaining stringent access control, such as toll booths and industrial facilities.
Pedestrian Gate Integration
Boom gate systems can be designed to include a smaller gate for pedestrians adjacent to the main vehicle gate. This integrated pedestrian gate provides a convenient and safe passage for foot traffic, ensuring a comprehensive access solution for both vehicles and pedestrians.
Boom gates offer a range of options to suit various site needs and constraints. From standard designs that fit a multitude of sites to specialised boom gates that cater to high-security requirements, these different types of boom gates play a crucial role in enhancing security, traffic management, and convenience across a spectrum of industries.
