Boom barrier definition
Boom barriers or boom gates are bars or poles that pivot to block vehicle access at designated points to control traffic and prevent unauthorized entry in parking lots and other areas, like toll booths and airports for security and traffic management purposes.
The boom barrier gate may independently control the boom barrier gate to enter the landing rods, or automatically be controlled by the parking lot management system (e.g. IC card swiping management system). During entry, the vehicles can be released for picking up cards and during exiting, parking fares will be deducted and the vehicles will be released automatically.
The boom barrier gate incorporates a special power failure manual and automatic column rising mechanism, whereby the boom gate barrier can be manually lifted even during a power failure without disrupting the normal flow of vehicles. The boom barrier gate also incorporates multi-control means, such as line control, remote control, communication protocol and other control means. Therefore, parking lot management personnel can use the remote control to lift the barrier gate pole right inside the booth.
Boom barrier component
The basic structure of a boom gate barrier consists of the following main parts:
Chassis section
The frame acts as the base structure of the boom gate system, it contains essential parts, such as the motor and control panel housed within a compact and robust chassis sized at 330 * 280 * 980mm (length * width * height) in the KARSUN Access DC brush-less Boom Barrier Gate – KS-DZ0024.
Motor and transmission device
The engine and gearbox play a role in how the boom barrier functions effectively at its core. The KS-DZ0025 boom barrier gate utilizes a second-generation DC brush mechanism, which is not only compact but also adds to the overall strength while making maintenance more manageable. This innovative technology guarantees that the position of the brake lever, whether horizontal or vertical. The motion structure stays securely locked in place. This characteristic serves as a measure for the reducer against any external impacts. Compared to mechanisms the design lowers failure rates by about 20%.
Barrier arm
The barrier arm is what you see that either lets vehicles through or stops them from passing through. In the KS-DZ0025 boom barrier gate, they use a special aluminum alloy beam that can be as long as 6 meters at most. You can adjust how quickly the arm opens and closes to either 0.9 Seconds, 1.5 Seconds, or 3 seconds depending on what you need.
Control system
The control system is in charge of handling and overseeing the operations of the boom barrier. Moreover, functionalities like loop detectors allow for operation when a vehicle moves through the barrier closes on its own upon receiving signals from the loop detector.
Types of boom barrier
Regarding various boom gate rods, the folding rod boom barrier, straight rod boom gate barrier and fence boom barriers are among the boom gates.
- The most common straight rod boom gate barrier is the one we use most, which we usually install on car parks at ground level, installed on general parking lots, such as housing complexes, railway stations, hospitals, etc.
- A folding rod boom gate is employed in parking lots that require some height for takeoff and landing, such as underground parking lots. Straight rod boom gates cannot be employed and folding rod boom gates are necessary in this case.
- Fence boom gates can be used in some specialized car parks with strict management requirements to prevent pedestrians from passing through the car passageways. Fence boom gates can be divided into single-layer fence boom gates and double-layer fence boom gates and can be purchased according to actual circumstances.

Electric Drive System
The heart of the barrier operation lies in its electric drive system. The boom gate operates primarily through an electric drive system, employing motors, reducers and transmission parts to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy to cause the gate rod to rise and fall.
Besturingssysteem
A control system is critical to the smooth functioning of any boom barrier installation. The control system is the central component of the boom gate barrier, which comprises mostly sensors, controllers and actuators. Sensors detect vehicles or people and send respective signals to the controller. Upon receiving the signal, the controller decides whether the gate should be opened or closed and informs the electric drive system accordingly. The actuator then carries out the lifting or dropping of the barrier gate as per the instructions of the controller.
