What is a Height Restriction Bar?

A Height Restriction Bar (height clearance bar) is an overhead indicator of the maximum vehicle height that can safely proceed into an undercover car park or under an awning or other overhead structure. They are designed to protect critical overhead infrastructure and services from impact, and eliminate the possibility of insurance claims by vehicle owners if the warning is ignored.

Area Safe Height Restriction Bars are made from durable galvanised steel and are finished in hi-vis safety yellow powder coat with black & yellow reflective warning chevrons. They come with end caps, 1m length of gal chain at each end, chain hangers and sizes including 2m, 3m, 4m, 5m and 6m. The clearance height text is applied to meet your requirements. Length of bar, maximum clearance height for text and length of chain must be specified. The maximum safety clearance height is worked out by measuring the lowest point of the overhead structure or service ducting and subtracting 100mm off that measurement.

Area Safe Height Bars are manufactured with sturdy steel RHS because other lightweight materials such as plastic get blown around and sometimes flipped out of position in windy conditions leaving it vulnerable.
