Flexible Deployment Options
All of our metal detector arches can be assembled, dismantled and relocated if required.
Many models can be supplied with optional wheel kits to assist with movement around site, making it easier to reposition equipment between entrances, halls and examination venues.
For organisations requiring maximum portability, sectional arch designs are available that can be dismantled into smaller sections for transportation in a standard vehicle. Traditional arch designs offer the same straightforward assembly and dismantling process but typically require a larger vehicle for transportation.
Whether deployed at a fixed entrance point or used for examinations, events and temporary screening operations, our arches provide a flexible solution for educational establishments.
