Product Overview
Boom Barrier – INSTABOOM GS6
The Boom Barrier – INSTABOOM GS6 is a portable, over-height vehicle detection and automatic road closure solution for highways, construction sites, trackside projects and controlled roads throughout Saudi Arabia.
- Identifies over-height vehicles in advance, before they arrive at restricted height structures such as bridges, overhead cables, gantries or tunnels.
- When a height violation is detected, it automatically activates a connected INSTABOOM or SOSEC barrier to complete a road closure.
- Adjustable laser-detection distance of 0.3–10 metres for accurate monitoring of approaching vehicles.
- The sectional pole can be built up to 7.5 metres, enabling protection of overhead structures at various clearance levels.
- Operates for up to 21 days continuously on solar-hybrid power and twin battery storage under optimum operating conditions.
- Wireless communication of up to 70 metres from the GS6 detector to the connected mobile barrier.
- Integrated telematics offer real-time activation alerts, battery-health reports, location and operation status monitoring.
- Quick transportation, deployment and relocation between project areas with portable trolley construction and two-person lifting capability.

How the Boom Barrier – INSTABOOM GS6 Works
The GS6 is designed to detect vehicles that are too tall, send an activation signal and automatically close the barrier attached to it before the vehicle reaches the overhead hazard.
- Place the GS6 detector in front of the protected bridge, overhead cable, gantry, tunnel entrance or restricted height structure.
- Install the sectional pole and laser sensor in line with the approved maximum vehicle-clearance height.
- Attach the detector to a suitable INSTABOOM or SOSEC barrier using a wired or wireless communication system.
- The laser continuously scans vehicles approaching the protected overhead structure or controlled road area.
- The GS6 automatically sends an activation command to the barrier when an over-height vehicle interrupts the laser beam.

Frequently Asked Questions
When an over-height vehicle breaks the laser beam, the GS6 automatically activates the connected barrier before the vehicle enters the restricted area, safeguarding bridges, tunnels, gantries and other overhead structures.
Yes. The GS6 is compatible with existing INSTABOOM and SOSEC barrier systems through an approved wired or wireless link, so it can enhance a traffic-control solution already in place.
The GS6 has failsafe logic that triggers the programmed lane-closure response in the event of a critical detection fault, which helps prevent vehicles progressing without active height protection.
It runs on a solar-hybrid power system with two batteries, providing up to 21 days of autonomy. Actual performance depends on solar conditions, activation frequency, battery condition and connected equipment.
Yes. Wireless signals can be transmitted up to 70 metres with an approved wireless configuration, depending on site layout, interference, obstructions and environmental conditions.
Depending on the configuration selected, telematics can deliver activation records, email alerts, battery health data, system status, daily reports and operational data for fleet or multi-site management.
Yes. The sectional pole and laser can be set to align with the required overhead clearance, depending on the specified installation height and the limitations of the equipment used on each project.
No. It should form part of an overall traffic-management strategy that incorporates advance warning, speed control, sufficient stopping distance, lane marking and well-defined emergency procedures.
