Custom Height Parking Barriers for Delivery Vehicles

Why standard barriers fall short for delivery fleets

Most standard parking barriers are designed for passenger cars. Delivery vans, box trucks and refrigerated vehicles are often taller and wider, and a barrier that clears a sedan may strike a roof rack, a loading body or an antenna. Logistics yards also see heavier daily use, with more cycles per hour and larger vehicles turning in tighter space.

A barrier made to your fleet's real dimensions avoids these problems from the start. It also reduces the risk of damage to your vehicles and to the barrier itself.

What we measure before we design

Before any drawing is made, we visit the site and record the details that decide the design:

• The tallest and widest vehicles that will pass through
• The approach angle, turning radius and available space
• Gate opening, post positions and the ground surface
• Power supply and where the control unit will sit

Your fleet list matters as much as the site. Tell us the heaviest and tallest vehicle you operate so the clearance includes a safe margin above it.

From drawing to approved specification

After measuring, we prepare a drawing and a written specification covering height, material, finish, operating mechanism and installation method. You review it and approve it before production starts. This step lets you check that the barrier matches your operation, and it gives your contractor or architect a clear document to work from.

Materials and finishing for heavy daily use

Parking barriers in logistics yards face weather, dust and constant contact with vehicles. We fabricate the frame and arm in steel and finish it with hot-dip galvanizing, followed by powder coating where a colour is required. This combination protects the metal against corrosion and gives a finish that holds up over years of outdoor use.

The exact material thickness and finish are set in the specification for your site.

Safety, visibility and compliance

A barrier for large vehicles should be visible from the driver's seat and clearly marked. We discuss signage, warning colours and, where needed, sensors or loop detection so the arm does not close on a vehicle that is still passing. Access rules and any safety requirements for your site should be confirmed with your engineer, who can check the design against the applicable standards.

Installation and what happens next

Once the specification is approved, the barrier is produced in our factory and then installed on site. Our team confirms the foundations, alignment and operation before handover. If your yard is still under construction, we can coordinate the barrier position with your civil works so the ducts and footings are ready in time.

Frequently asked questions

How do you decide the right barrier height for delivery vehicles?

We measure the tallest vehicle in your fleet and the approach to the barrier, then add a safety margin above it. The final height is confirmed in the approved specification with your engineer.

Can a custom barrier be made for an existing gate or entrance?

Yes. We survey the existing opening, posts and power supply, and design the barrier to fit them. Where changes are needed, we explain them in the drawing before production.

Do you install the barriers as well as make them?

Yes. We manufacture in our Tel Aviv factory and carry out the installation on site, including alignment and a check of the operation before handover.

How do I start a project?

Send us photos of the entrance and the vehicles that will use it. We will arrange an on-site measurement and then prepare a drawing and specification for your approval.

Common mistakes to avoid

Choosing a barrier height based only on passenger cars is the most common error, as it leaves delivery vans and trucks without enough clearance. Skipping the on-site measurement and relying on rough estimates often leads to a barrier that does not fit the opening.

Our recommendation

Measure your tallest vehicle with its load and any roof equipment, then specify a barrier that clears it with margin. Ask for the written specification to be approved before production so the dimensions are confirmed in writing.

Summary

Custom height parking barriers are built to your fleet's real clearance, so delivery vans and trucks pass safely. Techno Kol Uzi measures the site, designs to your specification and handles production and installation.
