When you need to control access to a location — whether it’s a car park, industrial setting, or business premises — an automatic rising arm barrier is an effective choice. Designed to operate automatically using sensors, keypads, remote controls, or access cards, these barriers provide a seamless and efficient way to manage vehicle entry and exit. They provide security while ensuring traffic can flow safely.

In short, an automatic rising arm barrier (also known as an automatic boom barrier) uses a motorised mechanism to raise and lower a horizontal arm to either let vehicles through or block their access.
When an authorised vehicle triggers the system, the motor lifts the boom arm, allowing entry or exit. After the vehicle passes, the arm automatically lowers to block access again. Many automatic barriers include safety features, such as sensors, to make sure the arm doesn’t close on cars or pedestrians. Our blog article offers more insights into how automatic barriers work.
