New PORTABOOM® is smaller, lighter and more stable

Designed to control traffic without putting traffic controllers in the line of oncoming cars, the PORTABOOM® is a remote-controlled portable boom gate that has redefined safety.

Compared to traditional stop/slow methods, the PORTABOOM® offers greater control and increased safety for traffic controllers on site. It also ensures a reduced personnel requirement and provides a more highly visible cue for motorists to stop.

The next generation PORTABOOM® is here.

Available through Jaybro since the start of 2019, the PORTABOOM® has gone through several iterations making its design more streamlined, more connected and more flexible.

Jaybro has just introduced both the PB3000 and PB3000L versions to our traffic range, which offers improved features including:

• A smaller main unit, making it easier to move and transport
• A 30kg reduction in weight due to upgraded components
• New patented legs for greater stability
• Universal attachments now come standard: it’s easy to fit both the traffic light and solar panel accessories
• An improved boom arm attachment design with the option of a 4m or 6m arm
• Syncing remotes is now easier with the new control panel access
• New 35aH battery with easier access for replacement and service

Where to use portable boom gates

The PORTABOOM® can be used in many situations to replace traditional traffic control methods. Typical applications include temporary traffic control, residential street closures, motorway and tunnel closures, access control to worksites, as well as event management.

With the addition of the pedestrian signals accessory, the PORTABOOM® 3000L is also an ideal tool for pedestrian management.

The 3000L portable boom gate allows a choice of manual, auto open & close, and sensor-activated operation, giving traffic controllers superior control over crossings and vehicle entrance points.

Connected and managed by central software, traffic controllers can ensure access is effectively managed even on large sites. Plus, the addition of solar panels means frequently recharging the battery is a thing of the past.

Easy to set up and use

Now the PORTABOOM® is even easier to move around the site as your needs change with a new set of componentry bringing the overall weight down to 70kg. Smaller and lighter than its predecessors, the PORTABOOM® has also received a new leg design, offering better stability on uneven terrain or in windy conditions.

The PORTABOOM® still only takes 5 minutes to set up, making it easy for traffic controllers and contractors to create safe access pathways on site.

A rechargeable 12V battery provides over 6000 up and down movements and backed up by a solar panel, it can operate independently and keep your site safe and running smoothly while you get on with more important tasks.
