Height Barriers – UK-Made Vehicle Access Control

Looking for a reliable way to stop tall vehicles from entering restricted spaces?
Aremco Barriers manufactures heavy-duty height barriers in the UK, designed to control access, protect property, and keep your site safe.

From car parks and retail parks to industrial estates and private roads, our barriers are built for strength, visibility, and long service life.

What Is a Height Barrier?

A height barrier is a steel access control structure installed at site entrances to limit clearance height.
It prevents high-sided vehicles — such as vans, lorries, HGVs, and motorhomes — from entering areas where:

• Overhead clearance is restricted
• Traffic needs controlling
• Unauthorised access is a risk

Aremco’s height barriers are manufactured in the UK to deliver lasting strength, weather resistance, and dependable operation.
