What can I do to prevent unauthorised access to the parking lot?
To prevent unauthorized access to the parking lot, consider installing Swinging Single Leaf Height Restriction Barriers. These barriers offer a cost-effective solution to deter unauthorized vehicles and pedestrians.
Barrier sizes are determined by measuring from the inside of the upright to the inside of the upright. This ensures a precise fit and tight security. The chosen size should effectively block unauthorized access while allowing authorized vehicles to pass through easily.
3M to 6M available
Uprights: 120mm x 120mm x 5mm thick square hollow section wall making these a sturdier construction
Top Rail: 80mm x 80mm x 3mm thick square hollow section
Material: Mild Steel
This barrier is supplied built-in (as standard) as they prove more sturdy. We can manufacture floor-mounted versions (at an additional cost)
All of our barriers are now complete with an RA1 Reflected* Aluminium sign.
Finish: Zinc Primed then Yellow powder-coated RAL 1021, or galvanised then powder coated Yellow RAL 1021.
We offer additional posts if you require the barrier to lock in the open position. These additional posts provide extra stability and security to the barrier, ensuring that it remains locked in the open position even if there is a sudden force applied to it.

Protecting your car park doesn't mean sacrificing convenience. With the right height barriers, you can safeguard your cars and staff from unwanted intruders while maintaining easy access for authorised individuals.
When installed correctly and at the appropriate height, height barriers won't obstruct or hinder cars or staff. Many height barriers even feature a swinging mechanism to facilitate access for emergency vehicles. It's crucial to ensure that the barriers are tall enough to deter unauthorised entry but not too tall to impede access for those who need it.
Moreover, strategic placement of barriers is essential to ensure smooth traffic flow and accessibility for emergency vehicles, staff, and customers. By striking the right balance between security and accessibility, you can effectively protect your car park without compromising convenience.
Height restriction barriers are an important safety feature in many places. Height restriction barriers serve as vital tools in preventing access to potentially dangerous or restricted areas.
Crafted from durable materials like steel, height restriction barriers are robust and resistant to tampering or climbing. Their primary function is to maintain safety by preventing unauthorised access to areas where individuals should not be. By limiting access, these barriers mitigate the risk of vandalism, theft, and other potential hazards, offering security and peace of mind to those responsible for managing safety.
Whether in recreational or industrial settings, height restriction barriers play a crucial role in ensuring the safety and security of both property and individuals.
Areas with height barriers typically restrict entry to high-sided vehicles to prevent potential collisions with low bridges, power lines, or other structures. However, when access for high-sided vehicles is needed, the process is straightforward. Unlock the padlock, slide the shoot bolt to release the top section, and swing it open, allowing entry for vehicles with higher clearance.
These height barriers offer an effective solution for areas susceptible to fly-tipping, unauthorised vehicles, or unwanted visitors like travelers. They serve as a deterrent, preventing entry to unauthorised vehicles such as quad bikes, motorbikes, and more, thus enhancing security and protecting the area from unwanted intrusions.

Height Restrictor Barriers: What are they?
Whether referred to as a height restrictor, barrier, or restriction barrier, these horizontal structures are strategically placed to limit the passage of taller vehicles. Situated in front of underpasses, covered bridges, drive-throughs, parking garage entrances, and above-ground car parks, these barriers effectively prevent vehicles exceeding a designated height from passing through. Typically, the maximum allowable height is clearly marked on the barrier or nearby signage.
In the United Kingdom, the standard height for these barriers is 2.1 meters. However, we offer customisation to accommodate the specific height requirements of your vehicles. When measuring height, it is essential to measure from below the crossbeam to ground level for accuracy. Please reach out to us when you are ready to place your order, and we will ensure that the measurements align with the UK's standard height for vehicles, effectively securing your premises and preventing unauthorised access.
* This RA1 sign utilises retro-reflective materials that have the ability to reflect a significant proportion of emitted light back towards the light's point of origin. This means that this sign is particularly visible at night when illuminated by the light from a vehicle's headlamps.
