Barrier gate arms

When choosing your barrier gate arms, you must decide whether you'll need rectangular or square ones. Ideally, you should go with the latter, as rectangular components are lighter and can function just as well. However, if you have a temporary barrier to install, you may want to choose the former. In this case, you can purchase smaller, less expensive arms to install instead. The right length will also depend on the purpose of your barrier gate.

In addition to the arms, the gate arm systems assembly is a plate assembly. The plate assembly secures the barrier arm in place. Alternatively, you can weld the plate to the bracket assembly. The barrier gate arm assembly 12 further includes a hinge assembly 3.
As barrier gates become more sophisticated and advanced, the arm can detect when there is an intervening vehicle. An unauthorized vehicle is following closely behind an authorized one, for example. The component could strike the car during this time, causing substantial damage. Therefore, you should check your vehicle gate access control to ensure they function correctly. Sometimes, the gate might not close properly, but the arm can stop in time before impacting a vehicle.

Because swinging arms can cause injuries, the restraining mechanism of these gates should be maintained appropriately. If not, they may not prevent people from entering dangerous areas. Also, you need to install a human presence detector on these barriers, so pedestrians do not accidentally open them. Likewise, it would help if you considered installing a warning sign for the barrier gate arms at a safe distance. If a warning sign is not visible enough, pedestrians may hold them open and damage the barrier.
