MB832 Manual Barrier Arm Bolt Down Cradle
MB832 Bolt-Down Cradle Heavy-Duty Manual Barrier Arm Cradle | Boom Gate Tip Support
Manual Boom Gate | Manual Barrier Gate | Hand-Operated Barrier Gate
The MB832 Bolt-Down Cradle is the strongest and most secure way to support long manual barrier gate arms. Most aluminum barrier arms longer than 18 feet require additional tip support to prevent sagging, bouncing, or damage. The MB832 Bolt-Down Cradle, shown in orange, provides the best possible stability and safety for these longer arms.
When a fixed bolt-down cradle is not possible due to site conditions, the MB832 Drop-Down Tip Support is the next best option.
Best Applications
- Manual barrier arms over 18 feet long
- Installations where the arm may be subject to occasional excessive weight (such as someone sitting or leaning on the arm)
- High-traffic areas or locations where maximum arm stability is important
- Situations where you want the ability to securely lock the arm in the down position
Key Features
- Heavy-duty steel construction — Built for strength and long-term durability
- Vertical adjustability — 12-inch height range with locking bolts for easy field adjustment to match any site elevation
- Secure saddle design — The end of the barrier arm rests in a protective saddle and can be locked in place with a standard padlock, securing both ends of the arm
- Bolt-down base — Mounts securely to concrete or asphalt for rock-solid support
Why Choose the Bolt-Down Cradle?
Unlike the lighter MB832 Drop-Down Tip Support, the Bolt-Down Cradle offers superior rigidity and stability. It prevents arm movement in all directions and allows the arm to be locked down, making it much harder for unauthorized users to lift the barrier.
This heavy-duty cradle is the recommended solution for longer arms (18–32 ft) or any installation where durability and security are priorities.
The MB832 Bolt-Down Cradle is designed specifically for the Upswung MB832 manual barrier gate system and works with all arm lengths that require tip support.
