Vehicle Access Control with Single Leaf Height Restriction Barriers

Single leaf height restriction barriers provide an essential solution for vehicle access control, ensuring safe traffic management and security in areas such as parking lots, driveways, and industrial sites. These barriers are designed to restrict access to vehicles of a specific height, preventing unauthorised entry and protecting infrastructure.

Traffic Management Solutions with Height Limiting Barriers

Height Limiting Barriers

Height limiting barriers, also known as overhead clearance barriers, are crucial for regulating vehicle access in various environments. By installing these barriers at parking lots, industrial sites, or restricted areas, you enhance overall safety and traffic flow. Automated options further improve efficiency by managing vehicle entry without manual operation.

Low Clearance Barriers

Low clearance barriers should always be paired with proper signage to alert drivers of height restrictions. This prevents accidents caused by oversized vehicles attempting to pass through restricted areas, ensuring both driver safety and the protection of structures like bridges and parking garages.

Specifications and Features of Height Restriction Barriers

• Available Sizes: 3M to 6M
• Uprights: 120mm x 120mm x 5mm thick square hollow section for added strength
• Top Rail: 80mm x 80mm x 3mm thick square hollow section
• Material: Mild Steel for long-lasting durability
• Finish: Galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461:2009 standards, then powder-coated for extra protection and customisation options (additional colours available)
• Signage: Each barrier includes an RA1 Reflective Aluminium sign for enhanced visibility, particularly at night
• Nudge Bar: Optional feature available at an extra charge—please contact us for pricing

Additional Features

We offer optional posts that allow the barrier to lock in the open position, providing stability and security. These posts are particularly useful in high-traffic areas or where temporary unrestricted access is needed.

Why Choose Single Leaf Height Restriction Barriers?

Height restriction barriers are an effective way to control vehicle access, especially in parking lots, driveways, and secure facilities. Installing swinging single leaf barriers deters unauthorised vehicles while still allowing easy access for authorised personnel and emergency vehicles.

When installed properly, these barriers do not obstruct regular traffic flow. The swing mechanism enables the barrier to be opened quickly in case of emergencies, providing efficient and reliable access control.

Enhancing Safety and Security with Height Restriction Barriers

Height restriction barriers play a critical role in:

• Preventing unauthorised access to restricted areas
• Reducing the risk of theft, vandalism, and damage
• Improving overall safety by controlling which vehicles can enter low-clearance zones

Constructed from durable mild steel, these barriers offer peace of mind and reliable protection in both commercial and industrial settings.

Applications of Height Restriction Barriers

Height restriction barriers are ideal for areas that require strict control over vehicle access, such as:

• Car parks
• Recreational areas
• Industrial sites
• Commercial zones

By preventing high-sided vehicles from entering these areas, they mitigate the risk of collisions with low bridges or structures, making them an invaluable asset in maintaining both safety and security.

Conclusion

Height restrictors are essential for maintaining security, reducing the risk of accidents, and ensuring controlled access for authorised vehicles. Properly positioned and well-maintained, they are an integral part of effective traffic management and commercial parking solutions.

More Information about RA1 Reflective

The RA1 reflective material refers to a specific type of retro-reflective sheeting used for road signs, particularly in the UK. Here's a breakdown of what it entails:

Key Characteristics of RA1 Reflective Material:

1. Retro-Reflective: RA1 sheeting is designed to reflect light back towards its source, which significantly enhances visibility, especially at night when illuminated by vehicle headlights. This feature is crucial for road safety, ensuring that signs are easily seen by drivers in low-light conditions.
2. High Visibility: The material is engineered to provide high visibility in various weather conditions, making it suitable for use on road signs, including height restriction signs, stop signs, and other critical traffic signage.
3. Compliance: RA1 reflective material complies with various safety standards and regulations, ensuring it meets the necessary requirements for road signage in terms of brightness, durability, and reflectivity.
4. Durability: It is typically resistant to fading and weathering, maintaining its reflective properties over time, which is essential for long-term road safety.
5. Applications: RA1 reflective sheeting is commonly used on regulatory signs, warning signs, and guide signs, helping to inform and direct drivers effectively.

In summary, RA1 reflective material is a key component in creating effective road signage, enhancing safety by improving visibility for drivers, especially in low-light situations.

Brief Overview of Galvansing

Galvanising is a process that involves coating iron or steel with a layer of zinc to protect it from corrosion. The most common method is hot-dip galvanising, where the metal is immersed in molten zinc, forming a metallurgical bond that creates a durable and long-lasting protective layer. This coating acts as a barrier against moisture and other environmental factors that can lead to rust.

Galvanised steel is widely used in construction, automotive, and outdoor applications due to its enhanced durability and resistance to weathering. The process not only extends the lifespan of the metal but also requires minimal maintenance, making it a cost-effective choice for various industries.

‍

Brief Overview of BS EN ISO 1461:2009

BS EN ISO 1461:2009 is a European standard that specifies the requirements for the hot-dip galvanisation of steel products to ensure corrosion protection. This standard outlines the procedures for assessing the quality of the zinc coating applied to steel items and sets out the minimum coating thicknesses based on the type of steel and its intended use.

Key points of the standard include:

• Coating Thickness: Specifies minimum zinc coating thicknesses for various applications to ensure effective corrosion resistance.
• Testing Methods: Details the methods for evaluating the zinc coating's adhesion, thickness, and appearance, including visual inspections and more advanced testing techniques.
• Quality Control: Provides guidelines for the manufacturing process to ensure consistent quality in galvanization, including surface preparation, galvanizing conditions, and post-galvanizing treatment.
• Durability and Performance: Emphasizes the importance of durability in the coatings to prolong the lifespan of steel structures and components exposed to environmental conditions.

Overall, BS EN ISO 1461:2009 serves as a crucial reference for manufacturers and specifiers in ensuring the quality and performance of galvanised steel products in various applications.
