What Is a Single Leaf Height Barrier?

A single leaf height barrier is a steel structure with one swing arm that controls the maximum height of vehicles entering a site. Unlike fixed height barriers, the swinging arm can be unlocked and moved aside to allow temporary access for taller vehicles when needed.

Aremco’s single leaf barriers are UK-made, offering tough security, weather resistance, and flexibility for sites that occasionally need full-height clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a single leaf height barrier instead of a fixed barrier?
A single leaf barrier gives you flexibility — it restricts tall vehicles but swings open when you need to let a larger vehicle through.

Is the swinging arm easy to operate?
Yes! The gate swings smoothly and is secured by a locking mechanism for safety.

Can Aremco build barriers to custom heights?
Absolutely. We manufacture single leaf barriers to your exact height requirements.

Are powder-coated barriers more durable?
Powder-coating adds a tough, coloured layer that protects steel from corrosion and gives excellent weather resistance.
