Car Park Barriers

Modern research has shown that car crash barriers in car parks should be centred at 445mm above deck level. The code say 375mm.

Most crash barriers in car parks are solid steel and damage is caused both to the car and the car park.

REIDsteel like to improve matters. Our barriers go from 350 to 560m level and have a rubber D-fenders, which deform under load.

The bumpers can be fitted in the centre of each car parking bay, where the car bumpers have no light fittings so damage is less likely.

Pedestrian barriers are fitted between these bumpers and are usually in filled with double sided white plastisol coated galvanised steel, which prevents children climbing up the barrier.
