Frequently Asked Questions
What customization options do rising beams have?
Rising beam barriers are highly customizable, offering options on a variety of factors like finish, opening size, crash-rated protection, operating systems, control mechanisms, and much more!
Where are rising beam barriers primarily used?
Designed to offer maximum protection from unauthorized access and vehicular attacks, rising beams are commonly used for high security at critical infrastructure, government facilities, and military sites.
Which type of rising beam is more suitable for high security?
Hydraulic barriers offer increased protection and durability in a variety of scenarios over electric barriers, making them a more ideal choice for high security applications.
What other security systems do rising beams integrate with?
Rising beam barriers can be integrated with access control systems and other security barriers, as well as surveillance cameras, intrusion detection systems, and control panels.
What are benefits to using an electric rising beam?
Electric barriers are generally faster than hydraulic barriers when opening and closing, making them an ideal choice for businesses where speed is a top priority. They're also easier to maintain, can be much more energy efficient, and have lower initial costs than hydraulic barriers.
What are benefits to using a hydraulic rising beam?
Hydraulic rising beams are designed for heavy-duty use and ultimate protection, generally providing additional protection over electric rising beams. They operate better in environments with harsh weather when maintained correctly, and are less susceptible to wear and tear due to a lower number of components.
Do rising beam barriers offer crash-rated protection?
Yes, rising beams offer M50 and K12 crash-rated options, making them one of the most robust security barriers for vehicle attack protection.
How are electric rising beams powered?
Electric rising beam barriers are powered by motors and backup batteries, which means they operate uninterrupted in the event of a power outage.
