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. Built for temporary and remote applications, the system provides dependable vehicle control without requiring electrical power or complex installation.

Constructed with a heavy-duty concrete base featuring integrated forklift pockets, the barrier can be transported and positioned with ease. Its galvanized steel pivot assembly provides long-term durability, while the lightweight aluminum barrier arm allows a single operator to manually raise or lower the system with minimal effort.

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

The BarrierStop Manual Drop Arm Barrier is a rugged, easy-to-operate traffic control solution designed for temporary or permanent access restriction. Built for reliability and flexibility, this manually operated barrier provides secure lane closure in areas where power is unavailable or impractical. With multiple base and arm configurations, it’s the perfect choice for government facilities, industrial sites, military bases, and event control applications. Secure traffic lanes up to 30 feet wide. Dual MANTIS barriers can effectively close lanes up to 60 feet wide.

Built for Strength and Versatility

Each Manual Drop Arm Barrier includes a custom base option—choose concrete, stone, or steel to fit your environment. The base provides excellent stability and impact resistance. In addition, eyebolt holes make it simple to lift or move the barrier using standard equipment. This flexibility allows fast setup at different locations.

The galvanized steel drop arm can extend up to 30 feet, easily spanning multiple lanes. A tensioned guywire system reinforces the arm, helping prevent sagging and improving long-term strength. As a result, the barrier remains steady and reliable in all conditions.

Simple Manual Operation

Operation is quick and efficient. A balanced counterweight system allows one person to raise or lower the arm with minimal effort. There is no power source required, making it ideal for remote or emergency sites. Operators can also secure the arm in either the open or closed position using a built-in locking mechanism. This ensures safety and stability during operation.

Perfect for Power-Free Access Control

Because it requires no electricity, the Manual Drop Arm Barrier is ideal for locations without power access. It works perfectly for construction sites, restricted zones, or roadway closures. Furthermore, its mobile design allows quick relocation whenever traffic patterns change. Therefore, it provides reliable lane control with minimal maintenance or setup time.
