What types of height-restriction barriers are available (fixed, swing-arm, removable, automatic, etc.)?

There are several main types of height-restriction barriers, each designed for different car park, industrial, or commercial applications depending on the level of security and access control required.

  1. Fixed Height Barriers – Permanent installations that provide a constant clearance height (typically 2.0–2.2 m). Ideal for standard car parks and sites where tall vehicles must always be restricted.
  2. Swing-Arm or Hinged Barriers – Feature a pivoting top beam that can be unlocked and swung open for authorised access. Perfect for sites needing occasional entry for maintenance or delivery vehicles.
  3. Removable Height Barriers – Built to be lifted out or detached completely for temporary access. Often used at seasonal sites or maintenance zones.
  4. Automatic or Rising Height Barriers – Electrically or hydraulically operated for quick access control, frequently used in high-security or multi-level car parks.
  5. Adjustable Barriers – Allow on-site changes to clearance height to match varying vehicle types or site conditions.

All Aremco Barriers height-restriction systems are UK-manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised steel, supplied with reflective height signage and powder-coated finishes in any RAL colour.
