2.2.

 

Arm

 

The arm is an aluminum extrusion and is marked with red and white safety tape (alternate 
colors available). The energy absorption material is contained inside the arm and 
anchored with retention pins at either end. The impact energy is absorbed by the internal 
material and transferred to the foundation through the drive and receiver stanchion 
assemblies.

2.3.

 

Stanchion

 

The drive and receiver stanchions are constructed using heavy gauge steel.  

The drive stanchion 

Figure 3 - Drive Stanchion (Model 773HD Shown)

 operates 

with internal bearings on a steel hinge pin that allows the arm to open vertically. 
The receiver stanchion 

Figure 4 - Receiver Stanchion

 directs and captures the 

arm when it is lowered. The receiver stanchion has a removable security latching 
device to prevent unauthorized operation when the barrier is unattended. 

 
 
Do not attempt to operate the barrier when the latch device is installed.
