Where to use Low Clearance Height Bars

Use Low Clearance Height Bars at locations where vehicles first enter an undercover area or encounter an overhead obstruction, where the clearance in either case is: (i) 3 metres or less if only cars or light vans are likely to use the facility or (ii) 4.6 metres or less in all other areas.

Using Height Bars offers several important advantages in managing vehicle access and protecting buildings and infrastructure. They provide a clear, visible warning to drivers about upcoming height restrictions which helps prevent collisions with overhead structures such as ceilings, pipes, sprinkler systems or other hanging obstructions. This not only enhances safety for drivers and pedestrians but also reduces the risk of costly damage to both vehicles and property.

Aluminium Height Bars offer several advantages over steel alternatives, particularly in terms of their weight, durability and maintenance. Being significantly lighter than steel, our aluminium bars are easier and safer to handle during installation and maintenance, reducing the need for heavy lifting equipment. Aluminium is also resistant to rust and corrosion, making it a better choice for outdoor areas. Additionally, aluminium’s clean, modern appearance with a highly visible yellow powder coat finish makes it more visually suitable for commercial or public settings, where aesthetics may be a consideration.
