Hydraulic barrier machine

The MA-HSH-03 hydraulic barrier machine is an electrically controlled, pneumo-hydromechanically driven mechanism. Its basic task is, when commanded, to physically close road traffic at level crossings, to light the barrier boom with flashing lights and to report the position of the boom.

Both the hydraulic and the electrical control system of the machine are modular. This makes it easy to adapt to different signalling control equipment and to the regulations and standards of different countries or regions, simply by replacing the appropriate modules or by simple hardware programming. Basic and additional functions can easily be designed and built in while taking the safety requirements into account.

One new function, for example, is that in the event of a fault the machine can raise the boom slowly to the vertical position – automatically or on a separate command – so that road traffic is not obstructed unnecessarily.

The machine is designed to be user-friendly, and installation and commissioning are fast and cost-effective. Maintenance requirements are extremely low: it has no parts that need lubrication or readjustment. Its reliability is ensured by its simple, carefully dimensioned design, and its availability is further increased by quick fault location and rectification.

The product was designed for the needs of rail-guided transport in Hungary, but thanks to its basic functions and robust design it is also an excellent choice beyond the railways. It is ideal for controlling traffic at the entry and exit points of truck terminals and industrial facilities, and thanks to its robust, timeless design it can also be integrated into the access control and security systems of office buildings, embassies and cultural centres.
