DESCRIPTION

The Crisp Drop Arm Gate is a robust and highly effective improvement on the traditional drop arm gate design. All the important features of the traditional design have been retained and upgraded to DOS crash standards.

It functions like the typical drop arm gate but because of its heavy duty construction and use of high quality parts it provides the ultimate in drop arm gate protection. The Crisp Drop Arm Gate can be custom designed to provide the desired length and crash rating. Constructed of galvanized steel they are available in a variety of finishes including powder coating. The unique fully vertical position (90° up) to allow for unobstructed use of the roadway and safe positioning of the arm. The Crisp design includes a device for positively locking the arm in the down position. It also features a totally passive mechanical safety latching mechanism that engages on vehicle impact. If manually operated the counterweights can be adjusted to require minimal force for raising and lowering. Powered models are driven by a highly reliable hydraulic operator.

APPLICATIONS

The Crisp Drop Arm Gate can replace any existing drop arm gate or can be installed in new construction where a DOS crash rating is required. The prominence of the Crisp Drop Arm Gate is a visible deterrent to intrusion and it is ideally suited for locations where the protection of roadway entrances is essential. They are suited for occasional or frequent use and may be operated in the parade or single vehicle mode. The Crisp Drop Arm Gate is also ideally suited for remote areas where the positive locking device allows the beam to be locked in the down position and left unattended.

INSTALLATION

The Crisp Drop Arm Gates are delivered essentially fully assembled. Installation involves minimal excavation and the placement of reinforced concrete. No welding is required for assembly in the field. Bolted connections make field assembly very straight forward and each unit comes with complete assembly instructions. Electrical connections have been minimized and are required for the operator housing only.
