Height restriction barriers are designed to prevent vehicles over a certain height from gaining access, and this covers caravans and Heavy Goods Vehicles. The height barriers are useful in front of multi-storey car parks, underground parking areas and ferry ports where the early height indication stops a problem later on.

Vehicle Height Restriction Barriers

The height restriction barriers are available from Merlin in four variations;

  1. Single Road Width Fixed Height Barrier
  2. Double Road Width Fixed Height Barrier (Image above)
  3. Single Road Width Fixed Height Swing Barrier
  4. Double Road Width Fixed Height Swing Barrier

The swing barriers can be unlocked and opened, offering site access as and when required, whilst the fixed barriers remain closed at all times.

Single Width Fixed Height Barrier

Manufactured in the UK from galvanised mild steel, the body of the height restrictor is coated red as standard (other colours are available upon request; please state BS / RAL numbers at time of order). The Fixed Height Restrictor is available ragged or flanged and can be fitted with a knocking bar and / or a maximum height warning sign. For additional security Swing Gates can be added to the height restrictor upon request.
