What is a Boom Gate?
A boom gate, also known as a barrier gate, is a device that, when activated, lifts and blocks access to a certain area.
Boom gates are typically used to control access to a restricted area. They are generally used at security checkpoints, car parks, warehouses, parking garages, and other areas where it is important to control who has access.
Boom gates consist of a barrier that is raised and lowered by either a remote control, a keypad, a proximity card, or a long-range RFID. When the barrier is lowered, it blocks access to the restricted area. When it is raised, it allows people to pass through.

Benefits of Boom Gates
A boom gate is an essential security measure for any commercial premise. By blocking vehicular access to a property, boom gates help to deter potential intruders and protect against unauthorised entry. Here are the advantages of boom gates in more detail:
Improved Security
Boom gates can massively boost your security. They stop unwanted guests from entering your premises and act as a deterrent. They also prevent vehicles from entering without specific permission or fulfilling certain requirements, such as payment or identification checks.
Traffic Flow Control
Barrier gates can be used to control the flow of pedestrian traffic, ensuring that only authorised personnel are able to enter a building. This helps you control the flow of traffic in and out of your site and ensures you can track who enters at all times.
Deters Potential Intruders
Perhaps the most important function of a boom gate is to provide a visual deterrent, making it clear that a property is well-protected. Any potential intruders will think twice about trespassing when they see a boom gate, as it shows that you take your property’s security very seriously.

FAQs
Still not totally clued up about boom gates? Read these FAQs to learn more.
How do boom gates work?
A boom gate is a type of barrier typically used to block access to a road, path, or car park. Most boom gates consist of two posts connected by a beam or bar. When the beam is in the horizontal position, it blocks the opening and prevents vehicles from passing. Boom gates are usually operated by an electromechanical or hydraulic system that raises and lowers the beam in response to commands from an electronic controller. In some cases, the controller may be activated by a button or lever; in others, it may be triggered automatically by sensors that detect the presence of a vehicle.
What are boom gates made of?
Boom gates can be made from various materials, but most are steel or aluminium. They consist of many different parts that work together to control the flow of traffic. The main component is the boom, which is a large arm that is raised and lowered to block or allow access to roads or carriageways. The boom is connected to a pivot point, which allows it to move up and down. A counterweight is also attached to the boom, which helps to balance it and make it easier to operate. When the boom is in the lowered position, a set of red and white flashing lights are activated to warn drivers of the obstruction.
How many types of boom gate are there?
There are two main types of boom gate: manual and automatic. Manual gates are the simplest and most common type, operated by a handle or lever. Automatic gates are either motor-driven or hydraulically operated, and may be triggered by a variety of devices including induction loops, barriers, or remote controls.
How much does a boom gate cost?
A simple boom gate install can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 depending on the type of access control required. More sophisticated installations which include payment systems and LPR cameras range in price and require expert advice.
