Loop detectors use a magnetic field to sense when a vehicle is present. They signal the gate operator’s control board, which tells the arm what safe and secure operation to run, considering the state of the other subsystems.
Barrier Gate Operators
Barrier gate operators are ideal when a higher level of security or traffic control is needed. They are tied into a complete system, and can be operated automatically by subsystems such as a card reader, keypad, or telephone entry system. Other subsystems are available as well, such as radio, photo eye, and remotely through a guard station kiosk.

We have more than 50 years in the industry. We’ve been at it since 1969! We know that your gate operator is only one part of an integrated system, and that each component must work right with all of the other systems in order to provide the safety and security that your company needs. Call the team who does it all, from sales and installation, to maintenance and 24 hour emergency service.
Applications
Barrier gate arms control traffic at parking lots, garages and roads, on entry, exit or both, and work as one part of an integrated access control system.
