Manual Drop Arm – Concrete Base

The MANTIS – Manual Arm Neutralizing Traffic Interceptor System is a portable vehicle access control solution designed for fast deployment in locations where permanent security infrastructure is not practical.

Designed for flexibility and dependable performance, the MANTIS is well suited for construction sites, temporary security perimeters, event venues, emergency response locations, remote facilities, controlled access points, and other short-term traffic control applications where reliable manual operation is essential.

Description

Manual Drop Arm Barrier – Portable, Durable, and Built to Control Access Anywhere

Barrier Stop’s Manual Drop Arm Barrier is a dependable vehicle access control solution designed for both temporary and permanent traffic management applications. Engineered for strength, ease of operation, and long-term reliability, this manually operated barrier is ideal for locations where electrical power is unavailable or unnecessary. With multiple base and arm configurations available, it provides a practical solution for government facilities, military installations, industrial sites, commercial properties, construction projects, and event security.

The system is capable of securing traffic lanes up to 30 feet wide, while two MANTIS Manual Drop Arm Barriers can be configured together to protect openings of up to 60 feet, making it suitable for larger vehicle access points.

Built for Strength and Versatility

The Manual Drop Arm Barrier is available with concrete, stone, or steel base options, allowing the system to be matched to different site conditions and operational requirements. Each base is designed to provide a stable foundation while supporting long-term outdoor performance.

Integrated eyebolt lifting points allow the barrier to be transported or repositioned using standard lifting equipment, making relocation quick and efficient whenever site requirements change.

The galvanized steel drop arm, available in lengths of up to 30 feet, is reinforced with a tensioned guywire support system to improve rigidity, minimize deflection, and maintain dependable performance during everyday operation.

Simple Manual Operation

Designed for convenient day-to-day use, the barrier features a counterbalanced manual operating system that allows a single operator to raise or lower the arm with minimal effort.

Because the system operates without electricity, it is particularly well suited for remote locations, temporary installations, emergency access control, and sites where power infrastructure is limited.

An integrated locking mechanism secures the barrier in both the open and closed positions, helping improve operational safety and prevent unauthorized movement.

Perfect for Power-Free Access Control

The Manual Drop Arm Barrier is an excellent choice for locations that require dependable vehicle access control without relying on electrical power. Its portable design allows rapid deployment and relocation, making it ideal for changing traffic conditions or temporary security operations.

Common applications include construction sites, military facilities, restricted access areas, industrial complexes, road closures, parking facilities, event venues, utility sites, and emergency response locations.
