Surface Mount Drop-Arm Barriers
Q: What is a surface-mount drop-arm barrier?
A: A surface–mount drop-arm barrier from Barrier Stop is a safety arm that helps block or allow vehicles on a road or driveway. It sits on top of the ground, so there’s usually no need for digging or trenching underground.
The arm moves up and down—just like a gate. When it’s up, cars can pass. When it’s down, cars are blocked.
It’s great for places where there isn’t much space on either side of the road.
In some setups, the arm can also swing sideways to open or close the road.

Barrier Stop offers drop-arm and swing barriers in many different lengths, so they can fit lots of locations without needing to dig into the road or disturb underground pipes or wires.
These surface-mount drop-arm barriers have been installed by Barrier Stop in places all over the country and the world—including military bases, government buildings, and private businesses—to help protect roads and increase perimeter security.
If you’re using an older hydraulic system, Barrier Stop can upgrade it with a new electric motor using an electro-mechanical retrofit. This keeps your crash rating the same but removes the mess and trouble that often comes with hydraulic systems (like leaks and breaks).
