What is a Barrier Gate and How Does It Work?

A barrier gate, also called a boom barrier or a boom gate, is a bar or pole placed to block vehicles or people from accessing a certain roadway or area. These boom barriers are often seen at railroad crossings, parking areas, drawbridges, and driveways. These barrier gates effectively increase safety and security in places that cannot be constantly monitored.

Barrier gates can be offered as a manual or automatic system, depending on the needs of the customer. The barriers come in a wide range of lengths so that they can properly block the areas you are looking to protect.
