Tapco Overheight Detection Warning Systems
Reliable Protection for Drivers and Structures

Identifies Overheight Vehicles in Advance of Lower Structures:
Tapco’s Overheight Detection System employs infrared sensors that are mounted on both sides of the roadway well in advance of any impending structures, and this forms an infrared beam above the roadway. In the event that an overheight vehicle disrupts the beam, the receiver instantly directs a signal to trigger the warning alert, letting the driver know that there is an imminent impact ahead.

What The Tapco Overheight Detection Warning System Offers:
With the most reliable technology in the industry, this system has proven time-and-time again to prevent severe damage to both low roadway structures and vehicles.

Infrared transmitter and receiver sensors are mounted on either side of the road in advance of low structures – creating an infrared beam over the road. When an overheight vehicle breaks the infrared beam, the receiver sends a wireless signal to activate the warning alert, notifying the driver that their vehicle will be unable to clear the structure ahead. Overheight Detection Warning Systems can be designed with a number of MUTCDC-compliant LED-enhanced BlinkSign® or BlinkerBeacon™ warning alerts. Mounting options can be tailored to meet each installation need. Have questions? Contact our ITS department by email, or by phone at 416-709-4635 (toll free: 888-826-6349).
