Bridge strikes are a common occurrence and one that can easily be avoided if drivers knew their exact height on a daily basis.

Westcotec designed, manufacture and install a HGV measurement device coupled with an electronic sign that displays the height in real-time in any required format such as feet and inches.

When a driver stops at a pre-determined point, the trailer height is measured from an above gantry or cantilever post where the measurement device is mounted.

The measurement is transmitted to the electronic LED sign instantaneously, providing the height of the trailer to the driver.

Equipped with this information, drivers are able to take the necessary action to avoid incidents involving height restrictions.
