In what situations is a swing arm barrier the right choice?

When overhead structure, signage, or site geometry makes a vertically raising arm impractical — for example at level crossings, agricultural access roads, narrow lanes between structures, or any site where the arm cannot reach its fully raised position vertically.

How far does the arm swing horizontally?

The arm pivots 90° from the closed (horizontal across the lane) to the open (parallel to the roadway) position. The side-post mounting can be on either side of the lane to suit site geometry.

Is a swing arm barrier as secure as a rising arm barrier?

For standard vehicle access control at agricultural, industrial, and rural sites — yes. For high-security or anti-ram applications, crash-rated rising barriers or bollards are the appropriate solution.

What drive and safety options are included?

Motorised with all standard remote, RFID, push button, and loop detector integrations. Safety devices and battery backup are included as standard.

Horizontally swinging vehicle barrier for side-post mounting where vertical arm travel is impractical.

Horizontal swing action eliminates vertical height requirement—the practical choice at locations where overhead structure, signage, or site geometry prevents a conventional rising arm from reaching its fully raised position.

Available in single and double swing configurations for unidirectional or bidirectional lane control.

All standard safety device and access control integrations with battery backup for continuous operation.
