The Hug, which features a 3m reflective arm, has several options to allow access, including radio control key fobs, visor remotes, keyed switch, and a stainless key pad with adjustable gate timing. The key pad offers from 1 to 999-second gate delay and also millions of codes.

There is also a long-range intercom with a remote control gate opener operated from the office. The all-steel American-made HUG also has an automatic exit sensor that picks up vehicular movement, eliminating false openings. 8029 DEELLC’s HUG has been embraced by the construction, energy, mining and military sectors. The American-made HUG uses a 2.5cm (1") solid steel axle shaft on two 1,400kg (3,100lb) rated cast iron roller bearings and an ultra-heavy duty stainless actuator that has a 1,406kg (3,400lb) load capacity - all for a 2.7kg (6lb) arm.
