Boom Barrier vs Tyre Killer

A boom barrier is a traffic tool. A tyre killer is a hostile-vehicle tool. Mixing them up in a bill of quantities is how parking sites buy over-specified pits, and how high-security sites buy a painted arm and hope.

What a boom barrier is for

Office parking, society gates and campus entries use a boom to meter vehicles and to pair with RFID or ANPR. If the threat is “someone might sneak in,” a barrier plus a process is usually the right first layer.

What a tyre killer is for

If the threat is a vehicle that will ignore the arm, a tyre killer (often with a barrier in the same lane) is the conversation to have. Civil work, drainage and fail-safe behaviour matter more than brochure cycle times.

Using both

Many Delhi NCR industrial and institutional gates run a boom for daily traffic and a tyre killer for the same checkpoint’s security policy. Design them as one procedure, not two separate gadgets.
