Boom Barrier Duty Cycle Explained: What 100% Duty Cycle Really Means
Duty cycle is the single specification that decides whether a boom barrier survives a toll lane. This guide explains how duty cycle is measured, how to size it from your traffic profile, and what 100% duty actually requires in motor and gearbox design.

Barrier Arm Length vs Opening Speed: The Engineering Trade-off
Opening speed and arm length pull against each other through a single constraint: tip speed. This article explains the trade-off, when to specify articulated or folding arms, and how to size a barrier for the lane width and ceiling height you actually have.
