Height Guard Clearance Bars

They are typically manufactured from High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. This material is impact-resistant, withstands extreme temperatures, and resists fading from UV exposure. Our two-piece clearance bar system is designed to be lightweight yet durable enough to survive minor impacts without cracking like PVC pipes.

Bars are usually suspended by chains from the ceiling or an overhead structure. For open lots without a roof, we offer a custom clearance bar apparatus that includes free-standing posts. Proper installation ensures the bar hangs exactly at the maximum safe clearance height to effectively warn approaching trucks.

Yes, visibility is essential for preventing accidents at night. Our bars feature reflective vinyl graphics or striping that reflects headlights. To understand visibility levels, check our guide on reflective material grades. Reflective bars effectively warn drivers in low-light parking garages or unlit drive-thrus.
