8 Benefits of boom bariers
Here are our top 8 benefits of boom gates.
1. Improved security
Security is so important these days for commercial and residential properties. By installing a boom barrier you can approve or deny entry to vehicles entering your property based on their credentials. If you don’t want a vehicle to enter your property, they can’t.
With a boom baarier, you can also monitor and record the registration details of every single vehicle that enters and leaves your property.
2. Control the flow of traffic
Boom barriers are the best way to control the flow of traffic on and off your property. This is important for properties with limited parking spaces that often attract a lot of vehicles.
A boom barrier also allows you to control how many vehicles are on your property at any given time. And if your car park is full, you can prevent further entry.
3. Save money on security costs
A boom barrier will save you money on security costs in the long run. You will have a one-off cost to install the boom barrier security system, but once it’s installed it is very low cost and low maintenance.
By installing a boom barrier you can often remove your need for a security guard. This means that you won’t have ongoing security costs once it’s installed.
4. Make money on car park spaces
If you have a car park, a boom barrier with ticket system is the perfect way to make money. As a vehicle approaches, they will be required to take a ticket, and the boom barrier won’t let them leave until they have paid for their parking time.
Especially if your property has a car park in a central or popular location, fees from car parking can be a very lucrative business.
5. Instant privacy
Are you sick of people driving around and having a sticky-beak at your property? If so, a boom barrier will give you instant privacy.
If you have a commercial property and want to protect your intellectual property, trade secrets, and prevent theft, a boom barrier is a great solution. And if you own a residential property, a boom barrier can protect the privacy of your residents.
6. Efficient use of space
As far as barriers go, a boom barrier system is the most economic use of space. Swinging gates and sliding barriers require a larger space at your entrance. In contrast, a boom barrier only needs a small amount of vertical space to swing upwards.
7. Made to last
Boom barriers are very durable and made to last. They’re also built to withstand a fair amount of wear and tear, and are low maintenance.
8. Easy exit in case of power failure
If there is a power failure at your property, a boom gate can be manually operated and switched to open. This will allow vehicles to exit safely and swiftly.
