The HERMEQ GS6 Height Restriction Barrier system sets the standard for managing overhead hazards across UK infrastructure and construction projects. With extendable poles reaching 7.38m (24ft) high, this system acts as a visual warning for vehicles approaching overhead powerlines, gantries, scaffold or crane zones.
Engineered for traffic barrier and site control applications, this modular kit includes a choice of bases (steel or ballast block), warning methods (bunting or rigid crossbar), and an anti-pinch clamping system for fast, tool-free deployment. Available in four standard kits plus a space-saving cantilever version, the GS6 range is used by highway agencies, contractors, events teams, and utilities firms across the UK.
- Four main kits – Choose steel or ballast bases and either bunting or crossbar depending on site risks.
- Cantilever option – Ideal for narrow verges, footpaths or railway sites with limited working space.
- Anti-pinch clamp system – Fast pole setup and secure locking in place.
- Red/white or blue/white finishes – Match road or rail applications.
- MIRA wind load tested – Trusted barrier for exposed or high-traffic conditions.
Use alongside HERMEQ’s road barriers, traffic signs, and vehicle access systems to maintain safe zones around high-risk overhead areas. All GS6 barriers meet UK GS6 guidance for safe systems of work.

Space and Application Versatility
The GS6 system is suitable for urban highways, industrial compounds, rail track zones and demolition sites. Choose from four base kits or a cantilever solution where ground space is limited.
Stable and Safe
Ballast blocks can be filled with water (110kg) or concrete for max stability. Steel bases (13kg) can be anchored or sandbagged for short-term use.
High Visibility
Standard red/white pole sets ensure visibility to HGV drivers. Optional blue/white sets are ideal for rail contractors.

2 x Galvanised steel bases
1 X 7.6m Telescopic Crossbar

Is this suitable for highways and live carriageways?
Yes. It is widely used on major road networks for overhead cable and scaffold hazard control.
Can I use this in rail environments?
Yes. The blue/white variant is suitable for rail zones under standard GS6 compliance.
What if I have limited space?
The cantilever kit only needs 1 foot per side and is ideal for confined areas.
How does it compare to cones or signs?
This provides a high-level physical warning at vehicle eye level and is much more effective for HGV or plant machinery zones.
