GS6 cantilever goalposts for overhead cable and height restriction protection
The GS6 Height Restriction Cantilever Goalposts mark safe overhead clearance on hard shoulders, narrow gateways and site entrances where vehicles could strike overhead cables or low structures. Each unit is a single weighted base with a telescopic red and white mast, topped with a cantilevered crossbar arm that projects out over the carriageway to give drivers a clear early warning. The mast is fibreglass throughout - fully non-conductive - and built to HSE GS6 guidance for overhead cable protection.
Key features
-
HSE GS6 compliant - built to the HSE's guidance for overhead cable and structure protection on construction sites.

Where it is used
- Construction sites working near overhead electricity cables
- Hard shoulders and narrow gateways with height restrictions
- Site entrances where vehicle height needs marking before structures or cables
- Highways and utilities works requiring overhead hazard warning
Base options
Both configurations share the same telescopic mast and 1.6m cantilevered crossbar. Choose the Steel Base for maximum stability on hard standing, or the lighter Metro Block base where ease of handling matters more.
