GateArms+

What GateArms+ does

GateArms+ is a Florida-based manufacturer, founded in 2008 and headquartered in Miami, that designs and produces LED safety light systems for automated gate environments. Its product line consists of two main categories: LED-illuminated barrier gate arms (including standard round barrier arms and FoldArm90/FoldArm180 articulating variants engineered for low-overhead environments such as parking garages) and LED light kits for swing, slide, and flat gates. The core technology is a programmable LED controller that installs inside the gate operator housing, reads status signals from the operator, and changes LED color output to red when the gate is closed, flashing during movement, and green when open, with IP68-rated LED strips and configurable PC software supporting the system.

Core offering

GateArms+ manufactures LED Safety Light Systems for high-traffic gated entrances, including LED-illuminated barrier gate arms (with FoldArm90/FoldArm180 articulating variants) and LED swing, slide, and flat gate light kits. The products integrate with existing gate operators via a programmable LED Controller that drives color-coded LED signaling (red when closed, flashing during movement, green when open) to improve visibility and reduce vehicle-gate strikes. The company sells exclusively through authorized wholesale distributors who supply gate maintenance companies serving HOAs, parking facilities, and commercial properties.

Product overview

GateArms+ is a manufacturer of LED Safety Light Systems for gate environments, consisting of two main product lines: LED-Illuminated Barrier Gate Arms (including standard barrier arms and articulating FoldArm90/FoldArm180 models) and LED Swing/Slide/Flat Gate Light Kits. The core products integrate with existing gate operators through programmable LED Controllers that process operator signals and change LED colors to indicate gate status (red for closed, green for open, flashing during movement). The company also offers complementary accessories including signal converters, LED light tracks, and IP68-rated LED strips, along with a PC-based LED Controller Configuration Software tool for programming. GateArms+ sells exclusively through wholesale distributors to gate maintenance companies.

Products and services

• LED-Illuminated Barrier Gate Arm Barrier gate arms with integrated LED lighting that display red when closed and green when open, designed to improve visibility and reduce vehicle-gate accidents at parking facilities and gated entrances. Available in 3-inch round format with custom lengths from 8' to 17'.
• FoldArm90 Articulating Barrier Arm 90-degree folding barrier arm that retracts above the operator, designed for low-overhead environments such as parking garages. Features built-in entrapment protection and adjustable height in 1/16 inch increments.
• FoldArm180 Articulating Barrier Arm 180-degree articulating barrier arm designed for low-clearance environments. Folds the barrier arm in the middle and retracts completely above the operator, eliminating gate parts blocking the entrance.
• LED Swing Gate Light Kit LED lighting kit for swing gates, typically mounted under the gate facing the roadway for indirect lighting that shows where the gate is during movement.
• LED Slide Gate Light Kit LED lighting kit for slide gates, mounted on fixed entry posts on left and right of the entry to frame the opening and define the safe driving path. Available in 10', 15', 20' kits with multiple track options.
• LED Flat Gate Light Kit LED lighting kit for flat gates, designed to reduce accidents while improving gate appearance and visibility for flat swing and slide gate configurations.
• LED Controller Configuration Software PC-based software tool for programming LED controllers, setting timers precisely, and configuring color settings. Available as downloadable software for Windows.
• IP68-Rated LED Strips Weatherproof LED strips available in 1 to 25 foot lengths, cuttable every 1.5 inches for custom installations. Rated IP68 for dust and water protection. Can remain white 24/7 or display red/green/color patterns.
• LED Light Tracks (Mounting Hardware) Five types of LED retainer tracks for mounting LED strips on various gate arm configurations, including single-flange, dual-flange, 90 degree straight flange, 90 degree, and 45 degree flange options.
• ACSignalConvert4 Signal Converter Signal converter device for enabling LED controller communication with gate operators requiring AC signal conversion. Requires activation procedure involving power switch and mode button.
• ACSignalConvert7 Signal Converter Signal converter device designed for FAAC B680H operators and similar systems. Does not require activation; enables direct wiring connection.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Magnetic AutoControl: Manufacturer of vehicle barrier gates and access control systems widely deployed at parking facilities and gated entrances. Comparable because barrier arms and lighting/accessories for them compete in the same RFP as GateArms+ LED kits.
• Automatic Systems: Manufacturer of vehicle barriers, speed gates, and pedestrian access control. Comparable product category (barrier gates) and end customers (parking operators, commercial properties); competes for the same lighting/accessory budget per installed gate.
• DoorKing: Manufacturer of automated gate operators and access control systems widely used at HOAs, apartment complexes, and commercial properties. Directly comparable channel and customer base; sells complementary hardware that competes for the same installer/maintenance-company budget as GateArms+ LED kits.

Emerging players

• RAB Lighting: Commercial and outdoor LED lighting manufacturer with strong contractor-distribution relationships in North America. Comparable lighting-manufacturer business model and channels; could expand from area/site lighting into the gate-safety subsegment that GateArms+ dominates.

Broad incumbents

• HySecurity (Nice Group): Manufacturer of high-security slide and swing gate operators used at commercial and industrial sites. Comparable because its products are deployed in the same gated-entrance environments and use cases GateArms+ targets, and represents a credible integrator of LED safety signaling.
• LiftMaster (Chamberlain Group): Largest North American manufacturer of residential and commercial gate operators and access systems. Comparable because it sells integrated gate-operator/access products to the same HOA, commercial, and parking-garage end customers GateArms+ serves; could feasibly bundle LED signaling into operator SKUs and compete directly.
• CAME Group: Italian-headquartered manufacturer of automated gate operators, barriers, and parking systems with global distribution. Comparable product category and target customers (HOAs, commercial properties, parking facilities), and represents another potential OEM bundling LED signaling into operator systems.
• FAAC Group: Global manufacturer of automated gate operators (barrier, swing, slide) including the B680H referenced in GateArms+ compatibility documentation. Comparable customer base and product category; an OEM that could natively integrate LED illumination, threatening GateArms+'s retrofit-only value proposition.
• Acuity Brands (Lighting): Large North American lighting manufacturer with outdoor and area-lighting product lines that intersect with GateArms+'s outdoor/parking lighting use cases. A broad incumbent that could enter the gate-safety lighting niche with much greater distribution leverage.

Regional players

• Elite Gates USA: US distributor and integrator of automated gate systems and accessories serving HOAs and commercial properties. Comparable channel relationship (gate maintenance/installation companies) and end-customer base; a potential channel partner or competitor depending on exclusive agreements.
