Boom Gate Systems

These days, we experience passing through a boom gate on a regular occurrence, be it a carpark, unit complex or shopping centre. This type of automatic security barrier is the common method for controlling access and the flow of traffic into an area that is restricted.

There are many uses for boom gates. They may be located in car parking facilities where drivers enter and leave the car park. When exiting the driver may have to present a receipt showing proof of payment to have the boom gate rise for the safe flow of traffic.

Boom gates can be also placed at a checkpoint and at the entrances of restricted areas. Normally, in these instances, the driver will have to provide identification, tap an access fob against a sensing plate or swipe an access card to enter.

Ruswin, together with our business partners, is in a position to provide solutions for the use of Boom Gates to meet your business needs with total economy, providing a return on investment.

Ruswin is also in a position to review your current perimeter security infrastructure in view of upgrading to the latest systems and technology, should this be under consideration.
