The cost depends on the barrier model, arm length, expected traffic, control method and site work. A guard-operated barrier for one driveway has a different scope from separate entry and exit lanes with RFID access and vehicle detection.
What to check on the quotation. Confirm the barrier and arm, control accessories, detection or safety devices, mounting, civil work, cabling, installation and testing. Ask for delivery, software, servicing and ongoing support charges to be itemised where applicable.
Choosing a Parking or Vehicle Entry Barrier
| Site | What to confirm |
|---|---|
| Apartments and gated communities | How residents enter, who approves visitors and whether a guard desk or intercom should control the barrier. |
| Office and commercial car parks | Staff and visitor lanes, expected peak traffic and whether the barrier needs to connect to a parking management system. |
| Warehouses and industrial premises | Clear lane width, vehicle sizes, guard procedures and how frequently the arm will open and close. |
| Covered parking entrances | Ceiling clearance, space for arm movement, cabinet mounting space and nearby pedestrian routes. |
Share the clear lane width and the space available for the barrier cabinet. Ask us to check the required arm length and expected operating frequency against the proposed model’s specifications before you order.
RFID, Remote Controls and Vehicle Detection
Decide who should be able to open each barrier. A guard may use a button or remote, while regular users may use a compatible RFID card or vehicle tag. A guard desk or compatible intercom can handle visitor entry.
- Guard-operated entry. Specify where the guard works and which lanes they need to control.
- RFID access. Confirm the reader, card or tag type, required reading distance and how credentials will be issued or revoked.
- Vehicle detection. Ask which loop detector or other sensor the controller supports and what the device does during normal operation.
- Parking system integration. Share the existing controller or software model so we can check compatibility and quote any additional interfaces.
What Can Boom Barrier Installation Include?
The quotation can include a site survey, barrier mounting, cabling, controller setup and operational testing. Confirm who will handle foundations, trenching, electrical supply and driveway reinstatement if the site needs that work.
Before approving the work, agree on the safety devices, pedestrian routing and how staff will manage the lane during a power cut. Confirm which operational checks, user instructions and maintenance arrangements are included at handover.
Automatic Boom Barrier FAQs
What is the difference between a boom barrier and an automatic gate?
A boom barrier raises or lowers an arm to manage vehicle flow. An automatic gate moves a leaf or panel across the entrance to close the opening. Choose based on how the entrance needs to operate.
Can I connect a boom barrier to an existing RFID reader or intercom?
It depends on the barrier controller and the existing equipment. Send the make and model of each device and explain how the lane should operate so we can check the required interface, wiring and additional equipment.
Will a boom barrier work during a power cut?
It depends on the model and power arrangement. Confirm whether the proposed setup supports backup power or manual release, and ask how staff can manage vehicle entry and exit during an outage.
Can I buy a boom barrier without installation?
Yes. Share the model or lane requirements, quantity and delivery location. Confirm whether the quoted equipment includes the arm, controls, detection devices and mounting accessories you need.
Do you install boom barriers outside Nairobi?
Yes. Send your town, site location, number of lanes and preferred dates. We’ll confirm scheduling and any applicable delivery or travel charges before booking.
