Height Restrictor Bar - Aluminium

‍

Aluminum height bars, also known as height restrictor bars or height clearance bars, are essential tools used in various settings to ensure safety and manage vehicle traffic effectively. Here's more detailed information about them:

1. Material and Construction:
   • Aluminum Construction: These bars are typically made from aluminum for its lightweight yet strong properties. Aluminum is durable and resistant to rust and corrosion, making it suitable for outdoor use.
   • Design: Aluminum height bars come in various designs, often as a single horizontal bar suspended across an entrance or roadway, clearly indicating the maximum allowable height for vehicles.
2. Purpose and Functionality:
   • Height Limitation: The primary function of aluminum height bars is to restrict the entry of vehicles exceeding a specified height. This is crucial in preventing accidents and damage to structures with low clearance.
   • Safety Enhancement: By clearly marking height restrictions, these bars enhance safety for both drivers and pedestrians by preventing collisions with overhead obstacles.
   • Traffic Management: They assist in directing vehicles to appropriate routes or parking areas based on their height clearance capabilities.
3. Features:
   • Reflective Elements: Many aluminum height bars are equipped with reflective strips or paint to improve visibility, especially during nighttime or low-light conditions.
   • Adjustability: Some designs allow for height adjustment to accommodate different clearance requirements or varying vehicle types.
   • Weather Resistance: Aluminum bars are resilient to weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor environments.
4. Applications:
   • Parking Facilities: Installed at entrances to parking garages or lots to prevent tall vehicles from entering areas with low ceiling clearance.
   • Roadways and Bridges: Positioned under bridges, overpasses, or tunnels to alert drivers to height restrictions and prevent collisions.
   • Industrial and Construction Sites: Used around loading docks, warehouses, and construction areas to safeguard infrastructure and equipment.
5. Advantages:
   • Durability: Aluminum bars are sturdy and long-lasting, capable of withstanding frequent use and exposure to the elements.
   • Visibility: The reflective features ensure clear visibility, contributing to enhanced safety measures.
   • Compliance: They help facilities and roadways comply with height regulations and safety standards, reducing liability risks.
6. Installation and Maintenance:
   • Aluminum height bars are typically straightforward to install and require minimal maintenance beyond occasional cleaning and inspection to ensure continued effectiveness.

Aluminum height bars are integral components of comprehensive traffic management and safety strategies, offering robust solutions to control vehicle access and prevent accidents caused by height mismatches. Their combination of durability, visibility, and functionality makes them essential in various industrial, commercial, and municipal environments.

* Retroreflectivity” describes how light is reflected from a surface and returned to its original source (“retro”-reflector). Traffic signs are made with retroreflective sheeting materials to increase their visibility at night.

What is a Height Restrictor Barrier?

A height restrictor, height barrier, or height restriction barrier is a horizontal barrier mounted at the maximum allowed height, preventing taller vehicles from crossing. It is an artificial barrier. It may be placed some distance before something more substantial that imposes this limit (such as a roof), or may be used to enforce legal vehicle restrictions. Height restrictors can be found in front of underpasses, covered bridges, drive-throughs with overhanging roofs, parking garage entrances, and over-ground parking lots. The maximum height is usually posted either on the barrier itself or on a nearby sign.
