Height Bars: Protecting Vehicles and Infrastructure

Height bars are essential for protecting infrastructure and vehicles in areas with restricted height allowances. Recent incidents in Australia underscore the urgent need for these preventive measures. In Melbourne, a truck collision on Mount Alexander Road in Essendon caused significant power outages and tram delays. Another incident in Ascot Park, South Australia, resulted in traffic chaos after a truck hit a low bridge. Additionally, a truck accident in South Yarra, Melbourne, caused extensive disruption. These incidents highlight the necessity of effective height to prevent costly damage and ensure smooth traffic flow. Car parks, especially enclosed and underground ones, are prone to height-related accidents. Height bars play a critical role in such settings by providing clear warnings to drivers about height restrictions. They prevent tall vehicles from entering areas where they might get stuck or cause damage. This not only protects the infrastructure but also ensures the safety of other vehicles and pedestrians. Effective height bars are a proactive solution to mitigate risks and maintain the smooth operation of car parks and other facilities with height limitations.

Effective Warning Mechanisms

Australian Bollards' height clearance bars are designed to provide both visual and physical warnings, preventing vehicles from entering low-clearance areas. Constructed from durable aluminum or steel and suspended with a galvanized steel chain, these bars are robust yet pliant, minimizing damage to vehicles and infrastructure while effectively alerting drivers. Powder-coated in vibrant safety yellow, they ensure maximum visibility and durability. Customization options are available to fit specific height and width requirements, ensuring each installation meets the unique needs of the site. The modular framing system, equipped with masonry anchors, enhances the sturdiness and adaptability of these bars, making them a versatile solution for diverse environments.

Height clearance bars can be installed directly from the ceiling or on custom-manufactured modular frames, providing flexibility for various settings. Their vibrant yellow powder coating ensures high visibility, while the galvanized materials guarantee long-lasting durability. The chain suspension design offers a balance between firmness and flexibility, allowing the bars to act as an effective deterrent without causing significant damage to vehicles. This makes them ideal for use in enclosed car parks, industrial facilities, and other areas with height restrictions.

Additional Safety Solutions

In addition to height bars, Australian Bollards offers safety solutions such as speed bumps, designed to control vehicle speed and enhance the effectiveness of height clearance bars. Available in rubber, steel and plastic, these speed bumps cater to various conditions, with rubber humps being eco-friendly and gentle, and steel humps ideal for heavy industrial traffic. Australian Bollards also provides overhead entrance way warning barriers for industrial facilities, offering an extra layer of protection against unauthorized entry. These comprehensive safety measures, whether used alone or in combination, ensure robust infrastructure protection and effective vehicle warnings, preventing damage and enhancing safety across various settings. Overhead entrance way warning barriers, similar to height bars, are designed for environments where large mobile equipment operates. These barriers are strong, providing a sturdy deterrent against unauthorized access. When combined with speed bumps, they offer a multi-layered approach to safety, slowing down vehicles before they reach height-restricted areas. This integrated safety system helps prevent accidents, protect infrastructure, and ensure the safety of both vehicles and pedestrians in various industrial and commercial settings.
