Eighteen products, each specified to the entry it has to serve
Every product below sets out how it works, where it fits, what it is good at and the conditions it suits — so you can narrow the choice before we survey your site.
Not sure which applies? The quickest route is a short call — tell us vehicles per hour at your busiest half hour, whether the gate is manned, and the lane width, and we can usually narrow it to one or two options on the phone. Get in touch →
Four questions decide almost every boom barrier specification. Answer them before comparing prices and the shortlist usually collapses to one or two products.
Count arrivals in your busiest half hour, not the daily total. Under roughly one vehicle a minute with a guard present, a manual barrier can cope. Above that, or where vehicles queue onto the road, you need an automatic barrier and a credential that does not require the driver to stop.
Measure the clear opening on site. Kerbs, drainage channels, gate posts and planters routinely reduce usable width by half a metre or more against the drawing. Boom length follows that measurement, and a longer boom requires a drive and structure sized for it — not the same unit with a longer arm bolted on.
A permanently manned gate can run on guard release. A gate that is unmanned at any point in the day or night cannot — that is a security gap no amount of servicing closes, and it is the point at which a credential and a controller stop being optional.
Residents, staff, contractors, tenants, goods vehicles and visitors rarely deserve the same treatment. If you also need to answer "who came through at 11pm", you need a controller holding a register, not just a barrier that lifts.
Two further considerations come up on almost every survey in Pune. The first is safety exposure: if pedestrians or two-wheelers share the opening — normal at society and hospital gates — safety beam sensors are part of the barrier, not an accessory, and should be verified with real vehicles at commissioning. The second is stacking space. A parking entry that queues onto a public road becomes a traffic problem regardless of how fast the barrier cycles, so the distance available for waiting vehicles has to be checked before the barrier position is fixed.
If you already have a barrier, the question changes from which product to buy into whether yours will carry more duty. Where the housing, drive and mountings are sound, adding RFID or proper safety devices is usually the better value, and we will say so. Send us the site details and we will tell you which of the products below applies.
A motorised barrier that lifts and lowers on command from a remote, an access card, a loop detector or an RFID reader. It is the default choice for any entry where vehicles arrive faster than a guard can comfortably respond, or where the gate has to stay controlled while unmanned.
The drive unit sits inside a housing beside the lane and rotates a counter-balanced boom through roughly ninety degrees. A controller inside the housing accepts inputs — a button, a tag read, a loop detector sensing a vehicle — and decides when to open, how long to hold and when to close. Safety devices interrupt the close command if anything is in the lane.
Any entry with regular traffic, mains power at the gate and a lane wide enough for the boom length required.

A counter-balanced arm raised and lowered by hand, held by a lock-down catch. Low cost, very little to go wrong, and entirely dependent on someone being there to operate it.
The boom is balanced by a spring or weight so that a single person can lift it easily. A catch holds it in the closed or open position. There is no drive, controller or power requirement, which is exactly why it survives in places where automation would be over-specified.
Lightly used lanes with a guard always on duty. Not suitable where traffic is heavy or the gate is unmanned at any point in the day.

An automatic barrier paired with long-range UHF readers so that a registered vehicle is identified as it approaches and the boom is already open when it arrives. Nobody stops, nothing is handed over, and every entry is recorded against a credential.
A tag on the windscreen or a hard tag on the vehicle is read by a UHF antenna positioned beside the lane. The reader passes the identifier to an access controller, which checks it against the register of permitted vehicles and instructs the barrier. Read range is matched to the approach so the boom opens in time without picking up vehicles in the next lane.
Lanes with a reasonably straight approach and a defined set of regular vehicles. Visitor traffic is normally handled on a separate lane or by the guard.

Entry and exit lane control for parking areas, built around throughput. The barrier is one part; lane layout, credential type and stacking space decide whether your gate backs up onto the road.
Entry and exit are normally separated, each with its own barrier and reader or ticket unit. Loop detectors confirm a vehicle is present and clear before the boom closes. Residents and staff use tags or cards; visitors use tickets or a guard-issued credential, with the controller distinguishing between them.
Basements, podiums and surface parking with room for vehicles to wait clear of the public road.

The complete assembly supplied as one package — housing, drive, boom, controller, safety devices and the accessories that make it operable — rather than a barrier you then have to make work.
Specifying the gate as a system avoids the common failure of a good barrier with no safety beam, or a controller that cannot accept the reader eventually chosen. Everything is selected together, wired to a documented cable schedule and commissioned as a unit.
New builds and full replacements where the entry is being set up or rebuilt rather than patched.

A barrier arrangement for entries where control matters more than convenience: guard-post release, lane interlocking and, where the risk justifies it, a physical arrest device behind the boom.
A boom is a control device — it tells drivers to stop and records who was authorised. Where forced entry is a genuine concern, a road blocker or similar device is specified alongside it so routine traffic still flows against the boom while the harder layer stays available.
Entries where the security posture is set by policy rather than by traffic convenience.

Continuous-duty drives, stiffened booms and housings that tolerate dust and washdown — specified for truck gates, plants and logistics yards where a commercial-grade unit would not survive the duty.
Heavy-duty units differ in the drive rating and the boom structure rather than in appearance. Longer booms need stiffening to avoid sag and vibration damage, and gates that cycle for every truck movement need a drive rated for that frequency rather than for occasional use.
Industrial gates with goods vehicles, wide lanes and high cycle counts.

A barrier operated and monitored from software rather than only from hardware — remote open and close, event logs and status visibility for the person responsible for the site.
The controller is networked so that operation and status are available from a workstation or application. Entries and exits are logged with a timestamp and credential, and faults or offline states are visible without walking to the gate.
Sites with network availability at the gate and someone responsible for monitoring it.

A barrier specified around the credential rather than the arm: cards, long-range tags, PIN or plate-based identification deciding which vehicles may pass and when.
The question answered here is not "how do we block the lane" but "who is allowed through, on what credential, at what times". The controller holds the register and the schedule; the barrier simply acts on its decision.
Any entry where the list of permitted vehicles changes over time and needs managing.

A boom barrier working alongside an existing automatic gate to create a staged, two-stop entry — the barrier handling routine traffic so the heavier gate cycles far less often.
The barrier is placed ahead of or behind the sliding or swing gate and interlocked with it. Routine authorised vehicles are handled by the fast-cycling boom, while the main gate opens only when genuinely required, which extends its life and speeds up the entry.
Existing gated entries where the main gate is the bottleneck or is cycling too often.

Cast aluminium reflective studs set into the carriageway to keep lane lines, edges, ramps and turning points visible at night and in rain. Dimension: 100 × 100 × 20 mm.
A metal body carries reflective lenses on the faces presented to traffic. Light from a headlight entering the lens is returned towards the driver, so the stud marks the line without any power supply or cabling. The body is fixed into the road surface so that vehicles pass over it rather than around it.
Surfaced roads, ramps and aisles where a permanent fixing can be made into the surface.

A wide-angle convex mirror that opens up the view at a blind corner, ramp head or gate exit, so a driver can see what a wall or column hides.
The curved reflective face compresses a wide field of view into one glance, and the hood shades it against direct rain and glare. It is mounted on a wall, column or pole at the point where the sightline is blocked, angled to cover the movement that actually causes the conflict.
Indoor and outdoor positions with a firm wall, column or pole to mount against.

An LED road stud with its own solar panel and battery — it charges through the day and actively lights the lane after dark. Supplied without a shank for surface fixing. Dimensions: 100 × 100 × 20 mm.
The integrated panel charges an internal battery while there is daylight. When ambient light drops, the LEDs light so the stud emits light rather than only reflecting it. Because there is no shank, it is fixed to the prepared surface instead of being cored deep into the road.
Outdoor positions that receive daily sunlight, on a sound surface suitable for fixing.

Modular moulded plastic speed breaker sections that bolt to the road surface and enforce a slow approach speed. Size: 350 × 250 × 50 mm per section. Colours: yellow and black.
Sections interlock across the lane to the width you need and are bolted down to the surface. The alternating yellow and black run reads clearly in daylight, and the reflective inserts keep it visible at night, so drivers slow before they arrive rather than at the barrier.
Any surfaced lane where the sections can be bolted down.

A rack-and-pinion drive that opens and closes a sliding gate on command, supplied with rack sections, mounting hardware and remote handsets.
The motor unit is fixed on a foundation beside the gate and drives a toothed rack mounted along the gate leaf. Limits define the open and closed positions. The trigger can be a remote handset, a guard-post button or an access control release, and safety devices stop travel if the opening is obstructed.
Gates on a level, well-supported track with power available at the gate.

DKA-SFB 26 is a model in the DK IT AND AUTOMATION SERVICES barrier and vehicle access equipment range, supplied, installed and maintained by us across Pune and Maharashtra.
The unit is specified against the entry it has to serve rather than sold from a catalogue line. We confirm the model configuration, control options and accessories in writing after the site is surveyed, so what is quoted matches the lane, the traffic and the way the gate is operated.
Confirmed on survey. Model-level specifications are issued in writing on enquiry rather than published as generic figures here.

DKA-SFB 27 is a boom barrier model in the DK IT AND AUTOMATION SERVICES range, supplied with installation, commissioning and local service support.
The housing sits beside the lane and the counter-balanced boom is driven through roughly ninety degrees on command from a remote, a button, a loop detector or a reader. The exact configuration — boom length, control inputs and safety devices — is fixed against the measured lane and the traffic it carries.
Confirmed on survey. Model-level specifications are issued in writing on enquiry rather than published as generic figures here.

The controller board for a DC boom barrier — the part that reads every input and drives the motor. Supplied for new builds, as a replacement when a board has failed, and as a held spare.
The card accepts the open, close and stop commands, the limit signals from the drive, the loop detector and the safety devices, and an access control release where one is fitted, then drives the DC motor accordingly. Timing such as hold-open duration and the behaviour on an obstruction is configured at commissioning.
DC boom barrier installations. Compatibility is confirmed against your existing unit before supply.

Every service below is available on equipment we supplied and, after inspection, on installations from other suppliers. See the product range or the step-by-step process.
Site survey, foundation and housing mounting, conduit and cable routing, terminations at the controller, reader and sensor positioning, commissioning under load and operator handover with the configured settings documented.
Any new barrier, and any replacement where the previous unit failed early. Most barrier failures we are called out to repair trace back to installation rather than the equipment — foundations that shift, cabling run the shortest visible route instead of in conduit, or safety devices left out.
The barrier seats correctly for its whole life, a future fault is a twenty-minute diagnosis instead of a day of tracing, and the people operating the gate know how it behaves before you rely on it.
Request this service →Planned preventive visits: mechanical inspection and lubrication, boom alignment and balance, electrical terminations, loop and sensor verification, controller and reader behaviour, and a cycle test under normal traffic. Anything replaced is recorded.
Every barrier at a regularly used entry. The servicing interval should follow cycle count rather than the calendar alone — a mall parking entry works far harder than a factory gate that opens at shift changes.
Alignment and balance drift are caught before they load the drive on every cycle. A written service log per barrier also shows which lane is consuming your budget, which is usually what justifies upgrading one lane instead of repeatedly servicing all of them.
Request this service →On-site diagnosis followed by component-level repair of drives, gearboxes, controllers, boom assemblies, loop detectors and safety devices — including equipment originally supplied by another company.
When a barrier stops mid-cycle, closes on vehicles, fails intermittently in the rain, or has been out of service long enough that the gate is being propped open.
If the housing and mountings are sound, repair is usually the economical route and we will say so. Where it is not, you get the numbers rather than an assertion.
Request this service →Fault diagnosis by phone and on site, guidance for your security team on day-to-day operation, credential and controller administration help, and advice when requirements change.
Sites where the guard changes regularly, or where nobody on site owns the access system. A support arrangement stops small operational problems being escalated as equipment failures.
A number that reaches people who know your installation, and a documented configuration so support does not start from guesswork.
Request this service →Long-range UHF reader selection and positioning, tag issue, access controller configuration, integration with existing card systems or site software, and commissioning verified with the vehicles that will actually use the lane.
Any lane where you want registered vehicles to keep moving. Also the standard route for upgrading an existing sound barrier without replacing it.
Read performance on paper and read performance at your gate are different things. We position for the dominant vehicle class, verify on site and adjust mounting before handover.
Request this service →Barriers linked with access control, safety devices, guard-post controls and, where required, camera events — specified as one system with a documented cable schedule and interlocking logic.
Entries where the barrier is part of a security posture rather than a convenience: sensitive commercial sites, institutions and premises with a policy on who may enter and how it is evidenced.
Credential, control device, physical layer and safety interlock behave predictably together instead of being bolted on in sequence over several years.
Request this service →Entry and exit lane design, cycle-time matching to peak arrival rate, tag or ticket-based flow, loop and safety device layout, and stacking space assessment so queues stay off the public road.
Malls, offices, hospitals and societies where parking is at or near capacity at predictable times of day.
Throughput is a lane design problem before it is an equipment problem. Pairing a fast barrier with a slow credential simply moves the queue; we design the pair together.
Request this service →Definition and implementation of who may enter, when, and on what credential — card, long-range tag, PIN or guard verification — with the controller holding the register and schedule.
Mixed sites with staff, contractors, tenants and visitors, and anywhere credentials need issuing and revoking over time.
Access by identity rather than by presence, revocable without touching hardware, and recorded so a dispute has an answer.
Request this service →Interfacing barriers with equipment and software already on site: existing access control, visitor management, ERP or gate automation, using Wiegand, relay, serial or network interfaces as appropriate.
Sites that have invested in a system and do not want a second, parallel one at the gate.
One credential and one register instead of two, and no manual reconciliation between systems.
Request this service →Retrofitting RFID readers, safety sensors, new controllers or faster drives to existing installations, and staged replacement where several lanes are involved.
Installations that work but no longer match the traffic, or that were specified before RFID and safety devices became the norm.
Extends the life of sound equipment and spreads cost, instead of replacing a whole entry at once.
Request this service →Send the site details — peak vehicles per half hour, measured lane width and whether the gate is manned — and we will specify it. Free survey across Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad. You can also browse by the environment you are fitting.
Barriers, readers, controllers and safety devices can be supplied for export, with documentation and packing handled per order. Send your requirement list and destination and we will quote accordingly.
Every environment can be served from the same product range; what changes is the specification. Installation and maintenance is included on request.
Society gates carry mixed traffic, shared decision-making and a long expected service life. The system has to be fast for residents, controlled for visitors and simple enough that a changing guard roster can operate it.
Committees should agree the maintenance arrangement before purchase, not after the first breakdown. A society gate cycles constantly and is exposed to weather and impact.
Corporate entries usually already have credentials issued for the building. The gate should use them rather than introduce a second, parallel system nobody reconciles.
The deciding question is normally integration: whichever controller you choose has to accept the credential your building already issues.
Mall parking is a throughput problem. Arrival rate at weekend peaks decides the specification, and cycle time is the number that matters most.
A fast barrier paired with a slow credential does not increase throughput — it moves the queue. Both are specified together.
Campus entries around Hinjewadi and similar developments carry heavy tenant traffic at shift boundaries, with contractors and visitors mixed in.
Plan for tenant turnover. Credentials should be revocable per occupier without reconfiguring the whole gate.
Goods-vehicle lanes are wider, the vehicles are longer and reversing is normal. That changes boom length, safety device layout and how the loop detectors are positioned.
The common failure here is a barrier specified for cars on a lane that actually serves articulated vehicles.
Plant gates cycle hard at shift changes and materials movements, in conditions that punish commercial-grade equipment.
Specify by cycles per day rather than by vehicle count — a gate that opens twice for every truck movement works twice as hard as it appears to.
Hospital entries mix emergency access, paid parking, staff vehicles and pedestrians who are often distracted or in distress. Safety and priority release matter more than throughput.
Emergency release behaviour should be tested and documented, not assumed from the manual.
Toll lanes cycle almost continuously. Everything in the specification follows from open and close time and from the duty rating of the drive.
At this duty, the difference between a commercial and a continuous-duty drive is measured in months of service life.
Multi-tenant commercial premises need credentials issued and revoked per occupier, with a record the building manager can rely on when there is a dispute.
Ask how credentials are administered day to day — that, not the barrier, is what the building manager lives with.
Send us the site and the lanes. We will survey, specify the barrier and control layer, and quote in writing.
