Parking Gate Replacement Boom Arms

Parking barrier arms are frequently damaged when cars, trucks or other vehicles strike the boom, while the barrier operator itself remains operational. Replacing the damaged boom arm can restore the barrier without replacing the complete gate system.

Security Entrances offers replacement boom arms for compatible automatic barrier systems from major manufacturers used in the United States, including FAAC, Magnetic, All-O-Matic, HySecurity, LiftMaster and DoorKing, along with other compatible systems. Because boom-arm mounting, balance, profile, length and operator connections vary by manufacturer and barrier family, replacement arms are not universal. The existing barrier must be identified before ordering.

Replacement arms are available in standard lengths including 10, 12, 15, 20, 28 and 33 feet, with custom lengths from 11 to 32 feet in whole-foot increments. Straight and articulated/folding configurations are available where supported by the original barrier system.

Replacement Arm Options

Standard Lengths: 10 ft, 12 ft, 15 ft, 20 ft, 28 ft and 33 ft

Custom Lengths: 11–32 ft, rounded to whole feet

Arm Configurations: Straight or articulated/folding, where compatible

Arm Profiles: Round or octagonal, depending on the original barrier

Visibility: Reflective markings available on applicable configurations

Replacement arms may also be available with configuration-specific accessories such as end caps, protective edges or illuminated elements depending on the original barrier system.

Important Compatibility Notice

Do not assume a replacement boom arm will fit simply because the length is correct.

Before ordering, identify:

• Barrier manufacturer
• Barrier operator/system
• Existing arm length
• Arm profile
• Straight or articulated configuration
• Arm mounting/interface
• Existing arm accessories

The replacement arm must be compatible with the existing barrier's mounting hardware, counterbalance requirements, geometry and operating system. An incorrect arm length or profile can affect barrier balance, opening/closing performance and safe operation.

How to Measure a Replacement Boom Arm

Measure the existing arm from the manufacturer's specified pivot/mounting point to the end of the boom, and verify the required clear opening. Do not rely only on the physical length of the damaged arm if part of the arm inserts into the mounting assembly.

For custom replacement lengths, specify the required whole-foot measurement.

Articulated / Folding Replacement Arms

Replacement arms are also available for compatible articulated barrier systems. Folding arms are commonly used where overhead clearance is restricted, such as parking garages and covered entrances.

When replacing an articulated arm, the replacement must match the original barrier's folding mechanism, arm length, mounting configuration and clearance requirements.

Availability

Availability varies by manufacturer, arm length, configuration and order quantity. Generally, expect a tracking number within approximately 1–3 weeks.

Because many replacement arms are made or configured for the specific barrier system, lead times can vary.

Important Ordering Information

This product is intended as a replacement boom arm, not a complete barrier-gate operator.

The operator cabinet, drive system and existing controls remain in place unless otherwise specified.

To help ensure the correct replacement, provide the manufacturer, model or barrier family when known, existing boom length, profile and configuration. Photographs of the operator cabinet and existing arm mounting point are also useful when compatibility needs to be confirmed.
