Vehicle Height Measuring Pole
£87.85
A vehicle height measuring pole is an essential piece of equipment for any professional driver or transport operator working with vehicles where load height varies. Accurate height measurement protects drivers from low bridge strikes, prevents damage to vehicles and loads, and supports safe manoeuvring on sites, in warehouses, and at ferry terminals.
This telescopic aluminium height pole extends to a maximum of 16ft 5″ (4.99m) and collapses to just 127cm (approximately 4ft) when retracted, making it compact enough to store in any cab. At 2.3kg, it is lightweight enough to handle quickly and easily, yet robust enough for regular professional use.

Why carry a vehicle height measuring pole?
Bridge strikes cost the UK haulage industry an estimated £23 million per year in delays and damage. Guessing a vehicle’s height is never worth the risk. A vehicle height measuring pole gives drivers a quick, accurate reading before approaching any low bridge, overhead obstruction, building entrance, or loading bay, removing the guesswork and helping operators demonstrate due diligence.
It can also be used in reverse, to measure doorway heights, overhangs, or overhead branches, before moving a vehicle through or beneath them.
Important safety notice: Always be aware of overhead cables before extending the pole. Do not use near overhead power lines.
Sold and supported by Lloyd Morgan Group, specialists in transport compliance and driver safety. Bridge strike awareness training is also available via our Bridge Strike Prevention Course.
