Wheel stops are common features in car parks. They provide a simple and effective solution when it comes to traffic calming and protecting vehicles and property from damage.
Safe Direction’s wheel stops are manufactured from recycled tyre crumb rubber and have a tough and durable composition, making them an ideal choice for use as part of a carpark barrier system.
Features and Benefits
How Do Wheel Stops Work?
Wheel stops protect curbs and walls from vehicle damage by creating a boundary between vehicles and roadside obstacles, effectively restricting the vehicle’s ability to travel beyond the wheel stop.
They are also used to limit the travel of vehicles when manoeuvring into a parking space, as well as restrict vehicle encroachment into pedestrian areas and other car parking spaces, assisting in the prevention of nuisance impacts.
As a general safety precaution, wheel stops are recommended for use wherever the vertical drop to a lower level is between 150mm -600mm. They are also recommended for positioning in front of carpark barriers to prevent accidental impacts.
Safe Direction’s wheel stops are designed in accordance with AS/NZS 2890.1.
