LiftMaster MA031 Padded Barrier-Arm Adapter Collars — Two-Pack

The LiftMaster MA031 is the two-collar adapter set specified for documented padded barrier-arm options in the Mega Arm family. The manufacturer lists MA031 as required for the MA025 12-foot padded arm and MA028 14-foot padded arm, so these collars are part of selecting the correct attachment arrangement rather than an optional substitute for arbitrary mounting hardware. Confirm the exact operator, arm option and bracket before ordering. This package provides adapter collars; the padded arm, foam cover and complete arm bracket are separate items.

Compatibility — Models, Versions and Exclusions

Match the Arm Option to Its Required Attachment Parts

A barrier arm should be selected as a complete approved arrangement, including the operator configuration, bracket and required attachment pieces. These adapter collars address the documented padded-arm mounting requirement. They do not establish that an arm of any length or weight can be fitted to any barrier operator, and the foam padding does not eliminate the hazards of a moving arm.

When replacing an existing padded arm, inspect the bracket and attachment area for damage before reusing parts. A vehicle strike can affect more than the visible padding or tube. Have the technician compare the current installation with the applicable arm instructions, support the arm during service and confirm the required adjustment after reassembly. Do not improvise spacers or alter the attachment simply because a different arm appears to fit.

Specifications and Product Identification

Before Ordering

• Identify the operator and exact padded-arm model.
• Confirm MA031 in the approved arm attachment instructions.
• Inspect the bracket and surrounding hardware for impact damage.
• Confirm whether collars alone or additional arm components are required.

Package Contents and Separate Requirements

The manufacturer identifies two adapter collars in the MA031 package. The arm tube, padding, complete arm bracket, shear pin, operator and unrelated shaft hardware are not promised as included. Select replacement padding or a complete padded arm using its own service reference. If a damaged installation needs additional fasteners or bracket parts, confirm those items separately instead of assuming they are included with this two-collar set.

Safety Warnings — Read Before Installation or Service

• WARNING: A moving or unsupported barrier arm can cause serious injury. Use qualified personnel for arm attachment and replacement.
• Disconnect mains and backup power as applicable and support the arm before loosening any attachment hardware. Keep the lane clear during service.
• Use only the approved arm and attachment arrangement. Padding does not replace required protection devices or make an impact harmless.
• Check secure attachment, travel and all required safety functions before returning the barrier to vehicle traffic. Provide the intended separate pedestrian route.

Related Products and Important Differences

• LMWEKITU monitored wireless edge kit — a separate edge communication system for approved controls and resistive edges; not a replacement for this mechanical or electrical service part.
