Most auto repair shops will charge hundreds of dollars just to paint the hood or roof of a car damaged by a gate arm, and that does not include repairing possible dents..
Metal gate arms can cause scratches or dents if forcible contact is made with a vehicle. Our 10’ PVC Gate Arms are lightweight and come standard with a preinstalled safety edge padding, two warning labels, and black with yellow hazard tape covering the entire length of the arm for better visibility. The bottom facing safety edge padding is made of durable polyethylene that is moisture-resistant and equipped with an ultraviolet inhibitor to reduce deterioration from the sun. The warning labels are printed on white polypropylene with permanent adhesive and are pre-applied to each gate arm to warn pedestrians and other motorized vehicles to stay clear of the operating gate arm. These three added features increase visibility of the gate arm and will reduce operational liabilities in the case of unintended gate arm movements.
The 10-Foot PVC Gate Arm is easy to install with our Stainless-Steel Gate Arm Mounting Bracket Kit or on your already existing bracket.
But what happens if a vehicle runs into the gate arm?
Generally, upon impact, the arm creases at the gate bracket. The gate arm can then be trimmed in the field and reused as an effective 8-1/2-foot traffic controller.
A PVC Gate Arm measures 2.375 in. x 2.375 in. x 120in. L and are only purchasable in cartons of 6.
