Avoid costly bridge strikes and compliance issues with our Vehicle Height Measuring Pole Stick – the must-have tool for fleet operators, drivers, and workshops in the haulage and logistics industry.
Designed with accuracy and ease of use in mind, this telescopic height gauge allows drivers to quickly check the exact height of their loaded vehicle before heading out on the road. Whether you’re running artics, rigids, or box trailers, this simple tool helps ensure you remain within legal limits and avoid low-clearance hazards.
Built from lightweight yet robust materials, it’s easy to handle and stows away neatly in the cab or workshop. With more fleet operators being held accountable for low-bridge collisions, having a physical measuring device is quickly becoming industry best practice – and in many cases, a requirement for FORS, DVSA, or insurance inspections.
Whether you’re a single owner-driver or running a nationwide fleet, this pole is a no-brainer addition to your safety toolkit.
Key Features:
✅ Telescopic pole – Extends to measure heights up to [insert max height, e.g., 5m+]
✅ Clear height markings – Easy-to-read measurements in both metric and imperial
✅ Lightweight construction – Durable and easy to manoeuvre
✅ Essential for legal compliance – Prevents fines and bridge strike claims
✅ Workshop & driver-ready – Ideal for daily walkarounds or pre-trip checks
✅ Trusted by UK hauliers – A recommended tool for FORS & DVSA compliance
✅ Foldable and portable – Stores easily in most cabs or vans
Ideal For:
Hauliers & logistics operators
Owner-drivers & fleet managers
Commercial workshops & garages
Any vehicle over 3 metres in height
Why It Matters:
With over 1,500 bridge strikes reported annually in the UK alone, the cost of not knowing your vehicle’s height is just too high. Bridge collisions lead to costly damage, road closures, insurance claims – and reputational damage. This tool gives you peace of mind before you even start the engine.
