Entrance layout study

A folding boom below a garage ceiling

A garage entrance needs enough room for the boom in both the closed and raised positions. These two views show why the folding point and overhead services matter when discussing a barrier configuration.

Review the layout, then plan the right products with our technical team.

What the photograph shows

The visible arrangement.

Use the layout to frame a similar requirement, then select the model and configuration for your order.

  • The barrier is mounted beside a garage doorway with pipes and services overhead.
  • The lowered view shows the folding joint within the boom span and a separate recognition terminal.
  • The raised view shows the folded boom following the available space below the doorway.

Check the raised position too.

The folded boom and the doorway should be reviewed together with the closed span.

Before choosing equipment

Three decisions for this layout.

01

Measure every overhead obstruction

Record the lowest beam, door track, pipe and light fitting across the moving path. The ceiling height at the cabinet alone is not enough.

02

Locate the folding point

Provide the required closed span, mounting position and raised clearance so the folding configuration can be checked against the entrance.

03

Position recognition before the boom

Plan the vehicle stopping point and camera view with the ramp, lighting and opposing traffic in mind. Keep the reader independent of the boom movement.
