The typical clearance height for a car park height-restriction barrier in the UK is usually between 2.0 metres and 2.2 metres, depending on the site layout and the types of vehicles permitted.
For standard car parks, 2.1 m is considered the industry norm, as it allows access for cars, 4x4s, and small vans while preventing entry of high-roof commercial vehicles, motorhomes, or HGVs.
At Aremco Barriers, all UK-manufactured height-restriction barriers are built to your exact specifications — whether you require a fixed-height restrictor for permanent vehicle control or an adjustable or swing barrier for flexible access.
We can fabricate custom clearance heights from 1.9 m up to 5.5 m, ensuring full compliance with local authority guidelines and car-park design standards. Optional reflective aluminium height signs (RA1 or RA2 grade) clearly display the maximum clearance to prevent accidental strikes.
Each unit is galvanised for corrosion resistance, powder-coated in any RAL colour, and designed for long-term reliability in public, commercial, and industrial environments.
