Barrier Gate Arm Types

Parking BOXX barrier gates are available in two arm configurations — choose the right type for your San Jose facility.

Straight Arm

Standard configuration for surface lots, garages, and commercial facilities. The most common barrier gate arm type installed in San Jose.

  • Arm length: 8 to 20 feet
  • Standard sizes: 10 ft, 12 ft, 18 ft
  • Material: Lightweight aluminum
  • Visibility: 3M red retroreflective strips (~500 ft)
  • Best for: Surface lots, standard-clearance garages, commercial facilities

Articulating / Folding Arm

The arm folds upward during operation, requiring significantly less overhead clearance. Essential for San Jose parking garages where headroom is limited.

  • Arm length: Up to 12 feet
  • Clearance saved: 50%+ vs straight arm
  • Material: Lightweight aluminum
  • Visibility: 3M red retroreflective strips (~500 ft)
  • Best for: Low-clearance garages, parking structures

Regular or Reverse Mount

Barrier gates are available in regular (driver's side) or reverse (passenger side) configurations to match your lane layout.

  • Regular: Gate housing on the driver's side — standard for most installations
  • Reverse: Gate housing on the passenger side — for island-mount or split-lane configurations

Arm Length Options

Arm length is selected based on lane width. Standard lengths cover single-lane through double-wide applications.

  • 8 ft: Single narrow lane
  • 10 ft: Standard single lane
  • 12 ft: Wide single lane or folding arm
  • 18 ft: Double-wide lane
  • 20 ft: Maximum reach — dual lane coverage

Optional upgrades include LED-illuminated arms for 24/7 visibility, security cameras (single or dual with NVR), and battery backup for power-outage operation.

Built-In Safety Features

Every Parking BOXX barrier gate includes comprehensive safety features designed to protect vehicles, pedestrians, and the equipment itself.

Auto-Reverse on Obstruction

The barrier arm automatically reverses direction if it contacts a vehicle or object during closure, preventing damage and injury.

⦿

Breakaway Arm Design

Engineered break points with a shear pin that snaps on impact — protecting the motor, housing, and vehicle. Replacement shear pin costs under $10.

Red & Green Guidance Lights

Illuminated panels indicate lane status — green when open, red when closed. Reduces driver confusion and prevents wrong-way entry.

Audible Closure Alarm

An audible warning sounds before the arm descends, alerting pedestrians and drivers in the gate zone.

Dual Loop Detectors

In-ground vehicle detection loops prevent the arm from closing on a vehicle and detect tailgating attempts.

Photo-Eye Sensors

Infrared beam sensors across the lane opening detect obstructions and hold the arm in the open position until the lane is clear.

Can Parking BOXX equipment integrate with tech campus employee badge systems commonly used in Silicon Valley?

Many Silicon Valley employers issue HID or MIFARE credential cards for building access and want the same card to work at parking gates. Parking BOXX access control readers support standard HID and MIFARE formats, and CloudEASE can sync access rights with HR credential databases so employee onboarding and offboarding automatically updates parking access without manual IT intervention.
