Height Restrictor for Car Parks and Site Access
Hi-Tech Security Systems supplies heavy duty height restrictor products for car parks, commercial entrances, underground parking areas, industrial sites and controlled access points. A height restrictor helps prevent taller vehicles from entering areas where clearance, traffic flow or site security needs to be controlled.
Height restriction barriers are a practical way to protect staff car parks, public car parks, premises entrances, loading areas, roller shutter doorways and low-clearance routes from unsuitable vehicle access.
Our height restrictor products are available in fixed and opening designs, with options for surface mounted or sunken posts, high visibility finishes and made-to-order dimensions for different entrance widths and clearance heights.
We can advise on suitable height restrictor options based on your entrance width, vehicle clearance requirement, preferred finish and access control needs.

Control Vehicle Height at Restricted Entrances
