Nice Apollo PD1614A0000 LBAR Anti-Compression Block / Reinforcement Extrusion Kit
The Nice Apollo PD1614A0000 is a reinforcement extrusion used in the LBAR barrier arm system. In the field, this part is often described as an anti-compression block or reinforcement insert because it helps support the boom assembly and reduce distortion at the arm connection point. Barrier arms see constant vibration, start/stop loading, wind load, and occasional impact stress, so a damaged or missing reinforcement piece can create loose arm hardware, poor alignment, rattling, or premature wear at the arm joint. This is a mechanical fitment part, not an electrical control component, so the most important ordering detail is the exact barrier model and the arm/boom parts diagram.
Common replacement reasons include a cracked or bent arm reinforcement, missing internal support hardware, damage after a vehicle strike, loose arm coupling hardware, or a service rebuild of an LBAR arm assembly.
Compatible With
Use this part only where the PD1614A0000 LBAR reinforcement extrusion or anti-compression block is called out. Supported compatibility is strongest with the LBAR arm family and related LBAR arm service assemblies.

Technician Note
Check the barrier arm assembly for hidden impact damage before replacing only the reinforcement extrusion. If the boom, coupling hardware, spring balance, or gearbox mounting is bent, replacing this insert alone may not correct arm sag or vibration.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the operator is an LBAR / L-BAR barrier system.
- Match the original part number to PD1614A0000.
- Inspect the arm extrusion and coupling hardware for vehicle-strike damage.
- Verify whether mounting screws, clamps, or other arm hardware must be reused or ordered separately.
- Do not substitute MBAR reinforcement parts unless the parts diagram confirms interchangeability.
Professional Advisory
Barrier arm repairs should be performed with the operator secured and the arm safely supported. Spring-balanced barrier operators can move unexpectedly when hardware is loosened, so use a qualified gate technician if the arm is damaged, heavy, or out of balance.
Important Ordering Warnings
LBAR and MBAR reinforcement parts can look similar online. Order by the exact Nice Apollo part number and barrier arm family, not by appearance alone.
Product Questions & Answers
Is PD1614A0000 for the LBAR or MBAR barrier arm?
PD1614A0000 is commonly associated with the LBAR reinforcement or anti-compression block application. MBAR applications commonly reference PD1614B0000, so the two should not be treated as automatic substitutes.
What does this reinforcement extrusion do?
It supports the barrier arm structure at the connection area and helps reduce compression, movement, and distortion in the arm assembly.
Can this fix a sagging barrier arm?
It may help if the original reinforcement is damaged or missing, but arm sag can also come from a bent boom, worn hardware, spring balance problems, or impact damage.
Does this include the complete LBAR arm?
No. This is a reinforcement extrusion or block kit for the arm assembly, not the complete boom arm or operator.
How should I confirm fitment before ordering?
Match the operator model, LBAR arm assembly, and original parts diagram to PD1614A0000 before ordering.
