6.5m Site Access Barrier

Description

6.5m Manual Site Access Barrier

The 6.5m Site Access Barrier is designed to control vehicle access across extra-wide construction site entrances, compounds, industrial yards and other restricted access points.

With a 6.5 metre barrier arm, this model is the second-longest option in our site access barrier range and provides substantial coverage for larger entrances where a 6m or shorter barrier does not provide the required span.

The barrier creates a clear physical control point that can be used by site personnel to manage authorised vehicle movements and restrict access when required. Manual operation also provides a straightforward alternative where an electrically powered or automated access-control system is unnecessary.

6.5m Site Access Barrier Specifications

Barrier length: 6.5m
Pedestal size: 1110mm × 444mm × 300mm
Barrier pole section: 94mm × 64mm oval

Fixing Options

The barrier is available with different fixing arrangements to suit the requirements of the installation.

A standard bolt-down option allows the pedestal to be secured to an appropriate prepared surface.

A root-fixed (concrete-in) version is also available where the barrier needs to be installed into a suitable concrete foundation.

Always ensure the installation method and supporting surface are appropriate for the barrier and individual site conditions.

End Support Options

Supporting the end of a longer barrier arm is particularly important when the barrier is in its lowered position.

A lockable end rest can provide a fixed support point on the opposite side of the entrance.

An adjustable-height Pogo Tip Support is also available as an alternative and rises together with the barrier arm.

Select the appropriate support arrangement from the available product options when ordering.

Colour Options

The standard red and white finish provides a highly visible barrier across a vehicle access point.

Alternative colour combinations are also available:

• Yellow (RAL 1023) / Black
• Blue (RAL 5010) / White
• Green (RAL 6005) / White

Select your preferred finish from the available product options.

Where Can a 6.5m Site Access Barrier Be Used?

The 6.5m barrier is particularly suited to locations with extra-wide vehicle entrances that still require a clearly defined physical access-control point.

Typical applications include:

• Large construction site entrances
• Building site compounds
• Industrial yards
• Storage and works compounds
• Commercial premises
• Wide private access roads
• Contractor vehicle entrances
• Delivery access points
• Restricted areas within larger sites

Its longer arm makes this model particularly useful where smaller barriers do not provide sufficient coverage across the required opening.

Is a 6.5m Site Access Barrier the Right Size?

Measure the width of the entrance or roadway carefully before selecting a barrier.

A 6.5m site access barrier is intended for extra-wide openings where a 6m barrier does not provide sufficient coverage but the full length of a 7m barrier is not required.

Choosing the appropriate size rather than simply the longest available barrier is important. The barrier should suit the dimensions and layout of the access point while allowing sufficient space for correct operation.

If 6.5 metres isn’t the right length, view our Site Access Barriers range to compare all available sizes from 3m to 7m.

Access Control for Extra-Wide Construction Site Entrances

Construction sites frequently require wide entrances to accommodate HGVs, delivery vehicles, plant and other site traffic.

These wider openings can present a different access-control requirement from smaller pedestrian or vehicle entrances because a physical barrier needs sufficient reach to control the required part of the access point.

The 6.5m manual barrier provides substantial coverage while maintaining a straightforward manually controlled system.

Site personnel can open the barrier when authorised vehicles require access and secure the entrance when vehicle movements need to be restricted.

This makes the 6.5m model particularly relevant to larger construction compounds, industrial premises and other sites where wide vehicle entrances need a clearly defined control point.

When Should You Choose a Longer Site Barrier?

Barrier length should primarily be determined by the dimensions of the access point.

For narrower entrances, one of the shorter barriers in the range may provide sufficient coverage. The 6.5m model becomes particularly useful when the opening exceeds the practical coverage of a 6m barrier.

If the entrance requires still greater coverage, a 7m Site Access Barrier is also available.

For exceptionally wide entrances, the most appropriate arrangement may depend on the site layout and access requirements. Contact us if you are unsure which barrier size or configuration is suitable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 6.5m site access barrier?

A 6.5m site access barrier is a manually controlled physical barrier with a 6.5 metre arm, designed to control vehicle access across wider entrances and restricted access points.

Where can a 6.5m barrier be used?

Typical applications include construction sites, compounds, industrial yards, commercial premises, private access roads and other locations with wide vehicle entrances.

Is a 6.5m barrier suitable for a construction site entrance?

Yes. Its longer barrier arm makes the 6.5m model particularly suitable for wider construction site and compound entrances, provided its dimensions and installation are appropriate for the individual site.

Can the barrier be locked?

Yes. The barrier can be secured to control access when required.

What fixing options are available?

Bolt-down and root-fixed installation options are available, allowing the appropriate fixing method to be selected according to the installation requirements.

Does the barrier have an end support?

End-support options are available, including a lockable fixed end rest and an adjustable Pogo Tip Support.

What colours are available?

The standard finish is red and white, with yellow/black, blue/white and green/white alternatives also available.

How do I know whether I need a 6m, 6.5m or 7m barrier?

Measure the entrance or access point first. The 6.5m model provides an intermediate option where a 6m barrier is too short but a full 7m barrier is unnecessary.

Do you sell a 7m site access barrier?

Yes. A 7m Site Access Barrier is the longest option in our current range for access points requiring additional coverage.
