What is a clearance bar?
A clearance bar is a suspended warning device that alerts drivers when their vehicle exceeds the safe height for an entrance. It provides a visible warning before an overhead obstruction; site conditions and correct installation matter.

The builder shows the price as you go, and its review step adds delivery to your ZIP so you see the delivered total before you pay—no need to call for a quote.
Do you offer bulk discounts?

What is the lead time for clearance bar orders?
Production timing is confirmed with your delivered quote after reviewing current shop capacity. You review the complete delivered price before paying. Custom color matching or physical samples can add time; we confirm those details before production.

What is a clearance bar and why do I need one?
A clearance bar (also called a height warning bar or headache bar) is a suspended safety device installed at entrances with low overhead clearance. When an oversized vehicle approaches, the bar makes contact with the vehicle before it can hit the actual structure, warning the driver to stop. Clearance bars protect parking garages, drive-thrus, loading docks, and canopies from costly damage caused by trucks, RVs, and vehicles with roof cargo.
