At Basec Africa, we provide a wide range of Boom Barrier Solutions, from basic access control to advanced smart and high-security systems, professionally installed and supported across Nigeria.
This guide explains what boom barriers are, where they are used, the different categories available, and how to choose the right option for your facility.
What Is a Boom Barrier?
A boom barrier is an automated or semi-automated gate system designed to control vehicle movement at entry and exit points. It consists of:
-
A barrier arm (usually yellow or red/white)
-
A motorized housing unit
-
Access control devices such as remotes, RFID cards, sensors, or smart systems
Boom barriers are commonly used where controlled vehicle access is required without building a full gate system.
