The BFT AQ5 N728034 is a 5 metre rectangular aluminium boom arm for compatible BFT MOOVI and GIOTTO parking gate barriers. It is the moving arm that spans the vehicle lane, making it a relevant replacement when an existing boom is damaged or a correctly specified installation requires a new arm. This listing is for the boom component rather than a complete powered barrier system.
The AQ5 provides a 5 metre rectangular profile for installations requiring greater arm coverage than a 3 metre boom. Painted aluminium keeps the arm relatively light while offering a finished surface for outdoor use. Reflective markings help make the lowered arm more apparent to approaching drivers in a car park or compound entrance.
Boom length alone does not establish compatibility. Before choosing the AQ5, check the operator model, mounting holder, counterbalance spring and any fitted accessories. A longer boom or additional equipment changes the load on the mechanism, so the installed arm must remain within the barrier operator’s approved configuration. This is particularly relevant when replacing an arm with a different profile or length.
For UAE parking entrances, the correct replacement arm helps restore the physical lane boundary without replacing the complete operator. It may be used in residential, office, warehouse or commercial parking projects once compatibility is established. Supply the existing barrier identification and a photograph of the mounting assembly when requesting a matching replacement.

Replacement and Installation Considerations
The installer should inspect the arm holder, mounting hardware and counterbalance arrangement before fitting a replacement. After installation, balancing, travel limits and safety detection should be checked with the final accessories in place. A boom arm does not include the motor cabinet or automatically increase the maximum opening capacity of an existing operator.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the length of the BFT AQ5?
The nominal boom length is 5 metres. Actual usable lane coverage depends on the mounting arrangement and site clearances.
Is this a complete parking barrier?
No. It is the boom arm component. The operator, control electronics, mounting accessories and any other required parts are separate unless specified in a quotation.
Will it fit every MOOVI or GIOTTO barrier?
Confirm the precise operator variant, permitted arm length, profile, holder and spring arrangement. Membership of a barrier family alone is not enough to guarantee the correct fit.
Does the arm have reflective elements?
The rectangular boom is listed with reflective elements to help improve its visibility to approaching drivers.
What should I provide when ordering a replacement?
Provide the operator model, existing boom length and profile, plus photographs of the arm holder and fitted accessories. This helps identify the correct replacement for your UAE site.
