Barrier Stop

Swing Arm Height Restrictor

Barrier Stop’s Swing Arm Height Restrictors provide a dependable solution for warning drivers of overhead clearance limitations at parking facilities, garages, loading areas, drive-throughs, and other restricted-access locations. Manufactured in the USA using heavy-duty steel and aluminum, each unit features a galvanized finish for enhanced corrosion resistance and long-term outdoor performance.

The swing arm is designed for everyday operation, remaining securely positioned during normal use while allowing authorized personnel to open it when occasional access is required for taller vehicles, including delivery trucks, maintenance vehicles, and service equipment.

Available in 8–14 ft standard heights with custom width options, each height restrictor is engineer-stamped and can be embedded in concrete or surface-mounted to suit project requirements.

Barrier Stop also supplies fixed height restrictors and cable-style height restriction systems for applications requiring alternative clearance control solutions.

Barrier Stop’s Swing Arm Height Restrictor Barriers provide an effective solution for controlling access to locations with limited vertical clearance.

Convenient Swing Arm Operation

The swing arm can be unlocked and opened to permit entry for approved vehicles, maintenance equipment, emergency responders, or service personnel. Optional locking systems, Knox Boxes, and additional security accessories are available to simplify controlled access while maintaining site security.

Reliable Clearance Protection

Often referred to as height restriction barriers, overhead clearance barriers, or vehicle height restrictors, these systems help reduce the risk of damage caused by oversized vehicles.

Each barrier features a durable swing arm mounted to a heavy-duty support post, creating a clearly visible overhead restriction that helps drivers identify clearance limitations before entering restricted areas.
