In case of emergency hazards, threats or accidents, it can be difficult to direct traffic through temporary checkpoints in order to check credentials. The Battery Operated Barrier (B.O.B.) is a radio-controlled or manned access gate, roadblock, parking gate, checkpoint, closure and security device to help you direct pedestrian and vehicle traffic. The barrier can be deployed by one person in 90 seconds and can fit into the trunk of a small car. B.O.B. is capable of thousands of full open and close cycles on a single battery charge to help increase personnel safety by minimizing exposure to uncommon traffic or hazards.
