Nice Apollo WA11 Adjustable Support Stand for M-BAR and L-BAR Barrier Arms
The Nice Apollo WA11 is an adjustable support stand for compatible Nice barrier arms. In long-arm installations, the lowered barrier boom can place constant load on the arm and operator head. A properly placed support stand gives the arm a resting point and helps reduce deflection over time.
WA11 is typically considered when the barrier arm is long enough to sag, flex, or need additional support at the closed position. It is a passive mechanical accessory, but it still needs to be located correctly in the lane. If the stand is too high, too low, or out of line with the arm, it can cause binding, wear, or vehicle-contact problems.

Technician Note
A support stand should carry the arm gently at rest, not force the arm upward. If the barrier arm hits the stand hard or binds when closing, the stand height, position, arm balance, and limit settings should be corrected.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the arm length and whether a support stand is recommended or required.
- Verify the operator family and arm profile before ordering.
- Check the lane surface and stand mounting location for proper alignment with the lowered arm.
- Confirm the stand will not create a trip, tire, or vehicle clearance hazard.
- Inspect the arm for existing bend or damage before relying on a new stand.
Important Ordering Warnings
Do not use the support stand to compensate for a damaged arm, weak spring, incorrect spring balance, or a misadjusted operator. Those conditions should be corrected separately.
Professional Advisory
Barrier gate operators and slide gate operators can move heavy hardware and may include monitored safety devices, springs, drive components, and line-voltage wiring. For electrical diagnosis, unstable arm movement, damaged gate hardware, or missing safety protection, use a qualified gate technician.
Product Questions and Answers
What is the WA11 stand used for?

Does WA11 fit every Nice barrier arm?
No. It is associated with select M-BAR and L-BAR barrier arm systems. Confirm the arm profile and parts diagram before ordering.
When is a barrier arm support stand recommended?
It is commonly recommended for longer arms, especially arms above about 5 meters, depending on the operator and arm configuration.
Is WA11 a breakaway bracket?
No. WA11 is a support stand. Breakaway and pivot brackets use separate part numbers such as XBA10 in compatible systems.
