MAGNETIC MicroBoom

The MAGNETIC MicroBoom family is a modular barrier-boom system engineered for demanding vehicle-access, high-security and toll applications where the boom type must match the required lane width, operating speed and security level. The standard MicroBoom is designed for the MAGNETIC Access Pro-H and supports barrier widths up to approximately 6 m; it can be combined with an optional boom skirt and climb-over protection, making it particularly suitable for industrial compounds, logistics facilities, corporate entrances and other locations requiring stronger physical lane separation. The larger MicroBoom XL is designed for the Access XL2 and Access XXL: MAGNETIC specifies openings up to approximately 8.5 m with Access XL2 and 10 m with Access XXL, with optional boom skirts, climb-over protection and LED illumination available depending on configuration. These long-boom systems are paired with MAGNETIC’s heavy-duty barrier architecture, including MGC Pro controls, integrated induction-loop detector capability, configurable I/O and continuous-duty operation, allowing very wide vehicle entrances to be managed reliably. For high-speed toll applications, MAGNETIC provides several specialized MicroBoom versions. The MicroBoom-T is a round boom supporting widths up to approximately 3 m on Toll, Toll Pro and Toll HighSpeed barriers; its swing-away flange is designed to reduce damage to both the boom and barrier terminal if a vehicle strikes it. The MicroBoom-AT Soft Boom also covers up to about 3 m and is designed to disengage during a collision; MAGNETIC additionally offers an auto-swing-away flange that can automatically re-engage after impact. The MicroBoom-S is an octagonal/rectangular toll boom with protective edge elements, supporting up to approximately 3 m on Toll and about 2.5 m on Toll Pro and Toll HighSpeed, depending on configuration. For extremely fast Toll HighSpeed 2 systems, MicroBoom-T and MicroBoom-AT are typically limited to approximately 1.5 m. The MicroBoom H1 is intended for MAGNETIC Traffic H1 horizontal-boom systems, supports barrier widths up to approximately 6 m in applicable configurations and can be equipped with warning lights; it can also be combined with suitable security skirts for enhanced protected-area control. For VEGA Digital IT Solutions LLC’s MAGNETIC integration projects across the UAE, MicroBoom installation can begin with a site survey to determine lane width, traffic frequency, required opening speed, vehicle type, security level and boom configuration, followed by selection of MicroBoom, MicroBoom XL, MicroBoom-T, MicroBoom-AT, MicroBoom-S or MicroBoom H1 with the appropriate MAGNETIC barrier platform. Installation can include reinforced foundation preparation, barrier cabinet fixing, mains and low-voltage control cabling, boom mounting and balancing, support posts or pendulum supports for long booms, boom skirts, anti-climb protection, warning/LED lighting, induction loops, safety light barriers and laser scanners. VEGA Digital can further integrate the barrier with ANPR/LPR cameras, UHF/RFID vehicle readers, parking or toll-management platforms, access controllers, intercoms, traffic lights and visitor-management systems, followed by commissioning of opening/closing parameters, detector sensitivity, swing-away or auto-swing-away operation, safety devices, emergency/manual functions and user training—providing a complete MAGNETIC vehicle-access solution for commercial parking, toll plazas, logistics sites, industrial facilities and high-security entrances throughout Dubai and the wider UAE.
