Magnetic Autocontrol KBS01 Folding Boom Conversion Kit

Magnetic AutoControl Straight Boom to Folding Articulated Boom Conversion — KBS01

The Magnetic AutoControl KBS01 is a factory upcharge option that converts a standard straight barrier boom into a folding articulated boom with a custom passage height of up to 98 inches. This option allows operators to specify the exact passage height needed for their application, making it ideal for environments with overhead clearance restrictions such as parking garages, loading docks, and covered entry lanes.

This conversion is available exclusively when ordering a new Magnetic AutoControl barrier boom. It is not a standalone retrofit kit — it is a factory-configured modification applied during the manufacturing process to ensure precise fitment and reliable operation.

Key Features

• Custom Passage Height: Specify any passage height up to 98 inches (approximately 8.2 feet) to match your site's overhead clearance requirements.
• Articulated Boom Design: The folding articulated boom configuration allows the arm to fold upward at a joint, reducing the vertical clearance needed for boom operation compared to a standard straight boom.
• Universal Boom Compatibility: This upcharge can be applied to any length Magnetic AutoControl straight barrier boom when ordered as a new unit.
• Factory-Configured: The conversion is performed at the factory level, ensuring proper engineering tolerances, balance, and reliable long-term performance.
