- Standard straight-arm barriers
These are simple tools that control traffic and keep your areas safe. - Folding door arms

Two forked hands hinged to the pivot bracket. Allows extend beyond standard barrier arms.
Aluminum and steel: Durability and ability to withstand powerful impact forces. The most appropriate for long arms.
PVC: This light but rigid, ideal for high-traffic areas. They can move at high speeds. They are also economical and sustainable.
Wood: Is susceptible to wear and tear from environmental agents such as rain and extreme heat. They are not the best option.
Automated barrier gate operators can swing the arm left or right, depending on the design, and because they use motors to manipulate the arm.

EXTRA FEATURES
Ideal for preventing a heavy vehicle from traveling at high speeds. They are used in high-vehicle barrier gates and have different K and M ratings depending on their impact resistance levels.
It would help if you analyzed what the power supply and wiring will be like. Having a battery backup or solar compatibility is a plus.
The replacement arm should be maintenance-free, waterproof, corrosion-resistant, and include anti-crush devices. It should be easy to install and operate.
