A manual arm barrier is a simple and cost-effective access control solution used to manage vehicle entry and exit in various locations. It features a rising horizontal arm attached to a pivot point. An attendant can raise or lower the arm by hand to allow or block access.
• You’ll find manual arm barriers in a range of public and private settings. They’re an ideal choice for managing traffic in car parks but can also be used for:
• Restricting access to schools and other facilities during certain hours.
• Managing access and security in temporary or remote settings — for example, construction sites or areas with limited electricity.
• Controlling access in gated communities.
• Keeping industrial or commercial sites, including warehouses, loading docks, and restricted areas secure.
When looking for the right access security measures for your facility, you might be deciding between automatic and manual rising arm barriers. While both offer excellent solutions for managing access and traffic, manual arm barriers could be beneficial if you:
• Need a cost-effective barrier: Manual car park barriers are a budget-friendly option and are well-suited to locations with low to moderate traffic. They’re cheaper to install and require minimal upkeep.
• Are looking for simplicity: A manual arm barrier stop is straightforward to operate, so there’s no need to worry about any complex systems or frequent maintenance.
• Want a durable solution: These barriers are made from robust materials and can withstand all weathers.
• Need independence from a power supply: Unlike automatic barriers, a manual rising arm barrier doesn’t require electricity. This makes it ideal for locations where a power source is either unavailable — for instance, in a remote, off-grid location — or impractical.
We’re pleased to offer the SSMB 9000 Manual Rising Arm Barrier — an ideal solution for locations where a power supply is unavailable or limited. This manual arm barrier offers reliable access control without the need for electricity.
Designed for versatility, it features lengths ranging from 3 to 9 metres, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It’s also built on heavy-duty bearings, providing durability and ease of use while including secure locking options in both vertical and horizontal positions.
