GS6 Goal Post

The GS6 Goal Post provides a structured height restriction system for Traffic Management and Road Barrier applications on construction sites and infrastructure projects. This telescopic height barrier is designed to ensure protection and awareness of potentially hazardous overhead obstacles at height such as live electrical cables, powerlines, and structures by providing drivers with adequate warning of such hazards.

When you manage vehicle height risks correctly, you reduce the likelihood of contact with overhead powerlines, scaffolding, or temporary structures.

 

Why Use a GS6 Goal Post in Traffic Management

A GS6 Goal Post forms part of a height restriction barrier system. You position the frame at a defined clearance height to alert drivers before they enter restricted zones.

You strengthen site control by:

  • Setting a clear maximum vehicle height

  • Creating a visible approach warning

  • Supporting compliance with overhead line guidance

  • Reducing plant and vehicle strike risk

  • Integrating with existing Road Barrier layouts

 

How The GS6 Goal Post Improves Safety Near Overhead Powerlines

Overhead powerlines present serious risk on construction sites. Contact with plant equipment leads to severe injury and operational disruption. The GS6 Goal Post acts as an early warning structure.

You improve safety by:

  • Installing the goal post at a lower height than live cables

  • Positioning advance warning signage before entry points

  • Creating a dedicated controlled vehicle route

  • Briefing drivers on maximum clearance limits
