Engineered for Tough ConditionsOur boom arms are manufactured to endure harsh climates, with operating capacities between -20C and +60C. The sturdy design ensures reliable performance even in high-wind environments, resisting gusts up to 80 km/h. Powder-coated or painted surfaces prevent rust and corrosion, guaranteeing a long service life in demanding outdoor applications.
Enhanced Visibility and SafetyHigh-intensity, red reflective tape significantly increases night-time visibility, ensuring drivers and pedestrians see the barrier well in advance. The integration of a heavy-duty rubber or plastic end cap not only reduces potential impact damage but also adds an important layer of protection to both vehicles and the barrier system.
