Compact Counterweight Boom Barrier - Maximum Reach Vehicle Access Control System

The Hall-Fast Compact Counterweight Boom Barrier represents the ultimate solution for wide-span vehicle access control, combining innovative counterweight technology with exceptional 7,000mm boom arm capability. This redesigned barrier system delivers superior performance for demanding commercial applications requiring maximum entrance coverage while maintaining modern streamlined aesthetics that complement contemporary architectural environments.

Integrated Counterweight Technology

The revolutionary counterweight system incorporated directly into the barrier arm provides perfectly balanced operation across the complete 7,000mm boom arm span. This innovative counterweight technology eliminates the need for external counterweight mechanisms while ensuring smooth, effortless operation even with extended boom arm configurations. The integrated design maintains clean architectural lines while delivering exceptional operational performance.

Maximum 7,000mm Boom Arm Reach

Engineered to accommodate boom arms up to 7,000mm maximum length, this barrier provides comprehensive coverage for the widest entrance configurations including multi-lane commercial access points, industrial vehicle passages, and large-scale car park entrances. The exceptional reach capability enables single-point control for the most demanding wide-span applications while maintaining structural integrity and operational reliability.

New Oblong Profile Barrier Arm Design

The completely redesigned oblong profile barrier arm features advanced 90 x 60mm aluminium construction that optimises strength-to-weight characteristics for extended span applications. This new profile design provides superior resistance to wind loading and structural stress while maintaining the lightweight properties essential for counterweight balance. The oblong profile enhances visibility and creates a distinctive professional appearance.

Enhanced Locking System Features

The redesigned Compact Counterweight Boom Barrier incorporates easier locking features that simplify operation while maintaining professional-grade security. The automatic cylinder lock system provides secure positioning with convenient key-operated control. The enhanced locking mechanism accommodates various security requirements including triangular key systems and customer-supplied profile locks for specialized applications.

Robust Heavy-Duty Pivot Post Engineering

The substantial 220 x 100 x 1,000mm steel pivot post with reinforced 295 x 295 x 10mm base plate provides exceptional stability for maximum boom arm length applications. This heavy-duty construction accommodates the increased leverage forces associated with 7,000mm boom arms while maintaining precise operational alignment. The galvanised and powder-coated finish ensures maximum corrosion protection and professional appearance standards.

Modern Streamlined Architectural Design

The completely redesigned barrier system features modern streamlined appearance that complements contemporary building designs across commercial, institutional, and industrial environments. The clean lines and integrated counterweight system eliminate visual clutter while maintaining the authoritative security presence required for effective access control. The aesthetic design enhances property appearance while delivering functional security benefits.

Flexible Installation Configurations

The Compact Counterweight Boom Barrier accommodates both surface-mounted and sub-surface installation options, enabling seamless integration with existing infrastructure while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Sub-surface installation provides flush integration for architectural requirements, while surface mounting offers rapid installation capabilities. This installation flexibility ensures optimal placement regardless of site constraints or aesthetic considerations.

Commercial Building and Car Park Applications

Large shopping centres, office complexes, hotels, and multi-level car parks benefit significantly from the 7,000mm boom arm capability and counterweight technology. The balanced operation reduces mechanical stress while accommodating wide entrance configurations that would require multiple barriers with conventional systems. The modern appearance complements contemporary commercial architecture while providing effective vehicle access control.

Industrial and Manufacturing Access Control

Manufacturing facilities, distribution centres, and industrial complexes utilise the maximum boom arm length to control access for oversized commercial vehicles, construction equipment, and multi-lane traffic flows. The counterweight technology ensures smooth operation under intensive commercial use while the robust construction withstands demanding industrial environments. The extended reach capability accommodates the largest commercial vehicle configurations.

Public and Institutional Building Security

Government buildings, educational facilities, healthcare institutions, and public buildings benefit from the professional appearance and reliable operation for comprehensive access control. The 7,000mm boom arm capability provides single-point control for wide institutional entrances while the automatic locking system maintains security protocols without requiring constant supervision. The modern design maintains architectural integrity.

Wide-Span Entrance Solutions

The Compact Counterweight Boom Barrier excels in applications requiring maximum entrance coverage including sports facilities, exhibition centres, transport terminals, and large retail developments. The single-barrier solution eliminates the complexity and cost of multiple barrier installations while providing comprehensive access control across the widest entrance configurations.

Counterweight Balance Technology Benefits

The integrated counterweight system provides perfectly balanced operation that reduces operator effort while minimising mechanical stress on pivot components. This balance technology extends operational lifespan by eliminating the uneven loading that occurs with conventional boom barriers. The smooth, balanced operation enhances user experience while maintaining professional operational standards.

Advanced Security and Locking Options

The barrier system offers comprehensive security configurations including automatic locking, non-automatic locking, triangular key systems, and customer-supplied profile lock compatibility. This flexibility accommodates diverse security requirements from basic access control to high-security applications requiring specialized key systems and restricted access protocols for sensitive facilities.
