Industry First! 3.3-meter Carbon Fiber Tube Successfully Applied to ETC Toll Booth, Redefining Highway Toll 

Equipment Standards

Introduction: Pain Points of Traditional ETC Toll Booths

In highway ETC systems, the toll booth is a key component ensuring traffic efficiency and safety. Traditional 

metal toll booths have long faced challenges such as heavy weight, high energy consumption, susceptibility to

 corrosion, and frequent maintenance. Excessive weight increases motor load, raises energy consumption, limits 

response speed, and corrosion in humid environments severely impacts equipment lifespan and reliability.

Breakthrough Solution: 3.3-meter Carbon Fiber Toll Booth

We are proud to announce the successful design, manufacture, and application of the world's first 

3.3-meter-long integrated carbon fiber ETC toll booth, marking a crucial step in the lightweight revolution of 

highway equipment.

Superior Characteristics of Carbon Fiber Tubes

1. Extremely Lightweight, Energy Consumption Reduced by Over 60%

Compared to traditional steel lift bars, the carbon fiber version is 70% lighter (from approximately 12kg to 3.6kg).

Motor load is significantly reduced, resulting in an overall system energy consumption reduction of 60%-65%.

Lifting speed is increased by 40%, significantly improving vehicle traffic efficiency.

2. Breakthrough in Both Strength and Durability

Specific strength (strength to density ratio) is 8-10 times that of steel.

Excellent fatigue resistance, passing 2 million lifting cycle tests (far exceeding the industry standard of 1 

million cycles).

Stable performance in extreme environments ranging from -40℃ to 80℃, with no deformation or embrittlement.

3. All-weather corrosion resistance, doubled lifespan

Completely immune to corrosive environments such as rain, moisture, and de-icing agents

Expected service life extended from 3-5 years for traditional metals to over 10 years

75% reduction in total lifecycle maintenance costs

Our technological breakthroughs and industry firsts

Challenges and solutions

Technical challenges in producing 3.3-meter-long carbon fiber tubes:

Precision control: Straightness error along the entire length must be controlled within ±1.5mm

Consistency assurance: Ensure uniform wall thickness throughout the tube, with a tolerance of ±0.2mm

Connection reliability: The connection strength with metal joints must exceed the strength of the tube itself

Our Innovative Processes:

Customized Winding Process: Utilizes multi-axis CNC winding technology to achieve optimized layup at 0°, ±45°,

 and 90° angles.

High-Temperature, High-Pressure Integrated Molding: One-time molding in a large autoclave eliminates internal

 defects.

Proprietary Connection Technology: Developed a carbon fiber-metal composite connection structure, achieving

 a connection efficiency of 98% through third-party testing.

Customer Value and Market Feedback: Actual Application Data: At the first batch of toll stations where 

installations were completed, we collected encouraging data:

Energy Efficiency Improvement: Approximately 2.1 kWh of electricity is saved per lane per day, resulting in 

annual savings exceeding 760 kWh.

Maintenance Costs: Zero maintenance required within 6 months of installation, compared to an average of 1.2 

maintenance visits for metal poles during the same period.

Traffic Efficiency: Raising/lowering time reduced from 0.8 seconds to 0.5 seconds, allowing 40 more vehicles to

 pass per hour during peak hours.

User Satisfaction: Toll station operators reported a 70% reduction in equipment noise and smoother operation.

Customer Testimonials:

"This is the most innovative ETC equipment upgrade we've ever seen. The carbon fiber lifting bar not only 

reduces our electricity costs, but more importantly, its reliability and maintenance-free nature allow us to focus 

on service improvement rather than equipment repair." —A provincial highway management department Director
