Height limiters

Height restrictor is a special barrier mounted on the ceiling to prevent forklift collisions with infrastructure. The entrance restrictor is intended to control the passage of forklifts exceeding the permitted height by attracting drivers' attention. Restrictors are essential for protecting gates, loading docks, or other infrastructure elements.

They are designed in such a way as to ensure safety and avoid potential damage caused by vehicles of unsuitable height. They most often come in a distinct color, which means they themselves serve as a visual warning sign of a collision.

Height restrictors play an important role in ensuring safety and controlling vehicle and pedestrian access to various areas.

Where are height restrictors useful?

Gate restrictors are often used for entrance gates. They help control access to a property and prevent vehicles that are too tall from entering. Thanks to them, collisions with gate structural elements, such as beams or ceilings, can be avoided.

Where should you use entrance restrictors?

• In parking lots: they help ensure control over vehicles entering the parking area and protect infrastructure and other vehicles from damage.
• In underground garages: Entrances to underground garages are often height-restricted to ensure safety and avoid collisions with suspended structural elements, so use height restrictors.
• In warehouses and logistics centers: They make it possible to control delivery vehicles in terms of height to ensure safe and efficient loading and unloading operations.
• Industrial areas: In industrial sectors such as factories, manufacturing plants, or ports, entrance restrictors are used to protect installations and infrastructure from access by vehicles of unsuitable height. They help maintain safety and prevent potential damage.

Entrance restrictors are useful in various industries and places where it is necessary to control and limit access for vehicles of a specific height.

Entrance restrictors

Entrances to parking lots, underground garages, or other public areas require appropriate height restriction. Entrance restrictors provide control over the vehicles that can enter an area with limited height. They protect the surrounding infrastructure and installations, such as pipes, electrical wiring, or ventilation systems.

It is worth ensuring that height restrictors have additional warning systems such as audible alarms or light signals. See our proposals for restrictors equipped with a dual acoustic and light alarm system, which is activated when struck by a driver, preventing accidental damage to doors, loading ramps, and suspended systems. The acoustic-light system improves driver alertness and is particularly needed in a work environment with high noise levels and heavy traffic. 

Choosing the right height restrictors

Choosing the right type of entrance restrictor depends on the specific requirements and conditions of a given location. Remember to take these factors into account when selecting and installing a height restrictor for your project.

Depending on the conditions at the facility, you can choose:

A height restrictor with a lighting system, with a sound system, with both of these systems, or without any additional functions in the form of a beam.
