GS6 height restriction goalpost kit for overhead cable and low-clearance protection The GS6 Height Restriction Goalpost Kit is a portable goalpost barrier that warns HGVs, tipper lorries, cranes and other high vehicles before they reach an overhead hazard - live electricity cables, a low structure, a car park deck or a bridge approach. It is built to the HSE GS6 standard, assembles in minutes with one person and stands on its own freestanding base, so no ground fixing is needed. Made in the UK and fully reusable, it moves from site to site as the job changes. Key features Non-conductive fibreglass poles - the telescopic uprights are made entirely from fibreglass, so the kit is safe to use around live overhead power lines. HSE GS6 compliant - meets HSE guidance note GS6, which is a legal requirement on most sites with overhead cables or structures. High-visibility red and white poles - clearly seen by drivers and plant operators as they approach. Adjustable up to 7.5m - the telescopic poles set the warning height to suit the hazard. One-person assembly - lightweight, quick to put up and take down, with very little training needed. Freestanding, no ground fixing - stands on a steel base or Metro block, so nothing is drilled or bolted into the ground. Reusable - durable enough for years of service and backed by the manufacturer's warranty. Choice of bunting or telescopic crossbar - span a wide entrance with hi-vis bunting up to 25m, or a fixed carriageway with a telescopic crossbar up to 8m. What is a GS6 goalpost kit? GS6 is the HSE guidance note covering the avoidance of danger from overhead electric power lines. A goalpost kit forms a visible gateway on the approach to a hazard: two upright poles carry a length of bunting or a crossbar set at a safe height. Drivers can see the barrier from a distance and know to stop or keep their load below the line. On most construction sites with overhead cables or structures, having GS6 barriers in place is a legal requirement. Choosing your kit Each kit pairs a base with a top: Base - a steel base for extra stability, or a lighter Metro block base for easier handling. Top - hi-vis bunting to span a wide opening up to 25m, or a telescopic crossbar for a defined carriageway up to 8m.
