Steel Height Clearance Bars

Durable Steel Height Clearance Bars for Vehicle Safety

Steel height clearance bars are an essential safety device for car parks, loading docks, drive-throughs, and any facility with overhead height restrictions. Enforcer Group supplies steel height clearance bars designed to warn drivers of low clearance points before vehicles make contact with structural elements, preventing costly damage to both vehicles and buildings.

Construction and Finish

Manufactured from galvanised steel tube for structural rigidity and corrosion resistance, Enforcer steel height clearance bars are finished in alternating high-visibility safety yellow and black banding. This colour pattern is universally recognised as a clearance warning and provides maximum visibility in both daylight and artificial lighting conditions. Reflective panels are included for enhanced night-time visibility. Learn more about what yellow and black safety signs represent.

How Height Clearance Bars Work

Height clearance bars are suspended at the specified clearance height on chains or cables ahead of the actual obstruction. When an oversized vehicle contacts the bar, it swings or deflects as a physical warning, alerting the driver to stop before reaching the fixed structure. This sacrificial contact point prevents direct impact with beams, sprinkler systems, ventilation ducts, and other overhead infrastructure.

Applications

Multi-Level Car Parks

Entry ramps, level transitions, and low-clearance zones within multi-storey and underground car parks are the primary installation location for height clearance bars. These are commonly used alongside traffic signs, wheel stops, and other car park supplies to improve site safety.

Loading Docks and Industrial

Roller door entries, dock canopies, and low-clearance warehouse areas use height bars to prevent truck and forklift damage to overhead structures. They are often installed in combination with bollards, column guards, and safety mirrors for complete impact protection and visibility control.
