Traffic and access control
Car park boom gates are a great way to manage the flow of vehicles into a car park or business premises, especially in busy areas with limited parking spaces, such as shopping centres and hospitals. They are also an ideal solution for protecting your business assets, helping reduce the risk of trespassing and theft, and controlling vehicle access to restricted areas by acting as automatic security barriers.
-
Security
For commercial properties, barrier gates offer an added level of security to your premises. As automatic boom gates can operate using various technologies, such as remote controls and sensors, you maintain control over who has access to your business. Unwanted vehicles can be kept out, reducing the risk of damage and break-ins and helping keep your business safe and secure.
-
Space-efficiency and versatility
Our high-quality boom gates are ideal when space is at a premium. A boom gate uses a gate arm or barrier that lifts vertically to allow vehicles to pass through, so it requires minimal space compared to sliding gates and swing gates. This makes them a cost-effective solution and an ideal option for sites with limited space where functionality and smooth traffic flow are essential. Our technicians can help you choose the best option from a range of styles and access control solutions, such as loop detectors for vehicle entrance and exit activation.

Installation of automatic boom gate operators
Boom gates are a simple, effective barrier consisting of an articulated arm or bar that automatically lowers to block access. Automatic boom gates are attached to an automatic gate opener that raises the arm vertically to allow traffic to pass underneath. It acts as a secure barrier that controls vehicle traffic while allowing authorised vehicles to pass safely.
The type of sensor activation you choose will depend on the property, the purpose, and the location. Vehicle loop detectors are best suited for boom gates, as they can detect metal in vehicles and trigger the gate to open. This method of access control is commonly used to track car park occupancy or for access gates.
If security is your priority, sensor activation is likely a better option for your business. Keypads and security card sensors can be installed to control your boom gate. Our team will be able to discuss this with you during your consultation, including available accessories, adjustable settings, and other system elements designed to improve functionality and control.
Due to their proven reliability and durability, we recommend installing and upgrading automatic boom gate systems using quality components from our trusted supply partners, FAAC, Centsys, Magnetic, and Ditec.

- Single lane type boom gates

Frequently asked questions
-
What happens to electric boom gates when the power goes out?
The behaviour of an electric boom gate during a power outage depends on how the system has been designed and configured. Some gates are equipped with fail-safe features that allow them to open automatically or be operated manually via a built-in override, helping maintain safe access.
In other cases, the gate may remain in its last position or default to closed if no fail-safe or backup system is in place. Backup battery systems can also be installed to keep the gate operating during a power outage.
Overall, how the gate responds will depend on the system design, safety requirements, and whether features such as manual overrides or backup power are included.
-
What is the lifespan of an automatic boom gate?
The lifespan of an automatic boom gate depends on its usage frequency, environment, and maintenance. However, high-quality systems that are designed for commercial use are built for long-term durability with regular servicing.
-
Do I need planning permission to install electric boom gates?
Requirements can vary depending on your location, the type of property, and the size of the gate. In Western Australia, whether you need approval to install an electric boom gate depends on your local council’s planning scheme and how the gate is classified. Approval may be required if the installation forms part of a commercial development, alters access to a property, or impacts the streetscape. However, requirements are not standardised, and some installations may be exempt. It is best to confirm with your local council or a qualified installer before proceeding.
