Product Summary
Fast, Safe Vehicle Access Control — From Card Swipe to ANPR Plate Recognition.
Vehicle access control at a car park entrance, factory gate, or building basement ramp requires a barrier that opens fast enough to keep traffic moving and closes securely enough to enforce access policy. The automatic boom barrier provides the physical enforcement layer — working alone with card or ticket trigger, or in conjunction with ANPR cameras for fully automatic, credential-free vehicle entry based on registered plate recognition.
SSAL deploys automatic boom barriers across commercial building car parks, bank branch driveways, factory main gates, and residential compound entrances throughout Bangladesh — integrating with ANPR cameras, intercom systems, parking management software, and access control platforms to create complete vehicle access solutions.
Key Features
- 3m / 4.5m / 6m Arm Length Options: Standard arm lengths match lane widths for single-lane car park entry (3m), dual-lane or wide industrial vehicle entry (4.5m), and articulated truck access at logistics facilities (6m)
- 24VDC Brushless Motor Drive: Brushless DC motor provides higher cycle life, lower maintenance requirement, and quieter operation compared to AC motor or brushed DC alternatives — rated for high-cycle-rate commercial car park duty
- 1.5–3 Second Opening Time: Adjustable opening and closing speed — set for fast throughput in high-volume car parks (1.5 seconds) or controlled-speed operation at pedestrian-adjacent locations (3 seconds)
- ANPR Camera Integration Input: Direct interface for ANPR camera trigger — the ANPR camera sends a relay or TCP/IP signal to the barrier controller when a registered plate is recognised, triggering automatic arm raise without any driver interaction
- Vehicle Loop Detector Input (2 Channels): Two inductive loop detector channels — entry loop (triggers barrier command when vehicle is present) and exit loop (safety loop under barrier arm, prevents lowering onto a vehicle)
- Safety Anti-Crush Loop: Exit-side loop detector prevents the arm from lowering while a vehicle remains under the barrier — prevents vehicle roof damage and personal injury from premature arm descent
- Manual Release Handle: Internal manual handle allows arm release without power or electronic control signal — required for BNBC fire egress compliance at vehicle access points serving as emergency evacuation routes
- Traffic Light Integration: Discrete output signals drive entry/exit traffic lights (red/green/amber) — prevents vehicle approach to a closed barrier in reduced-visibility conditions at basement ramp entries
- IP54 Rated Housing: Suitable for covered outdoor installation at rooftop car parks, basement ramps (with water ingress exposure), and factory main gates throughout Bangladesh's monsoon season
- Operating Temperature −20°C to +60°C: Full operation from Sylhet winter lows to Dhaka summer peak temperatures without derating or supplementary cooling
- Counter-Balance Mechanism: Spring counter-balance on the arm significantly reduces motor load during raising — extends motor and gearbox life and reduces power consumption at high cycle rates

Typical Applications
- Commercial Car Park Entry/Exit: 3m arm at each lane; integrated with ticket dispenser or parking management software for pay-on-exit operation; ANPR provides season-ticket holder automatic entry
- Bank Branch Driveway: ANPR-triggered automatic entry for registered staff vehicles; visitor intercom on barrier column for visitor vehicle access request; full access log for security audit
- Factory Main Gate — Truck Lane: 6m arm spans full truck lane; ANPR registers delivery truck plates; access management software matches plate against approved supplier list before triggering barrier open
- Residential Compound: 3m arm with intercom integration; ANPR for registered resident vehicles provides frictionless entry; visitor pre-registration allows one-time plate authorisation via mobile app
- Hospital Drop-Off Zone: 4.5m arm at ambulance and patient drop-off bay; emergency override input triggers immediate arm raise on fire alarm or emergency signal
- Government Office Driveway: Controlled vehicle entry with full ANPR log — plate, timestamp, and direction of travel — for security audit and vehicle movement investigation
Compatibility & Integration
Boom barriers integrate via dry-contact relay with any access control management software, ANPR camera system, parking management system, or ticket dispenser that provides a relay output trigger. SSAL integrates barriers with Hikvision ANPR cameras, Dahua parking management system, and ZKTeco parking control software as primary platforms. Traffic light controller outputs connect to standard road traffic signal heads (200mm or 300mm LED lens) for lane approach visibility.
