What Is a Wheel Stop?

Bolt down rubber wheel stops are a simple but effective tool for ensuring the safety and organisation of car parks and other areas where vehicle traffic is present. These durable rubber blocks are secured to the ground using bolts, making them stable and sturdy. They provide a clear visual cue for drivers, indicating where cars should stop and preventing them from overshooting or parking in unauthorised areas. This helps to reduce the risk of accidents and collisions, and ensures that cars are parked in the correct areas.

How Do Wheel Stops Work?

Wheel stops are typically installed in a line along the edge of a parking space or in front of a barrier. When a car approaches the designated stopping point, the driver will see the bright yellow wheel stop and know to stop the vehicle before reaching it. This helps to prevent accidents and ensure that cars are parked in the correct area.

To install a bolt down rubber wheel stop, the ground must first be prepared by drilling holes for the bolts. The wheel stop is then placed in the desired location and the bolts are inserted through the pre-drilled holes to secure it to the ground. This ensures that the wheel stop remains in place and cannot be moved or knocked over by vehicles.

Once installed, wheel stops provide a visual cue for drivers and help to keep car parks safe and orderly. They are durable and resistant to weather, making them a reliable and long-lasting solution for car park management.

Where Are Wheel Stops Typically Used?

Wheel stops are commonly used in commercial and public car parks, as well as in residential areas. They are typically installed along the edge of parking spaces or in front of barriers, to indicate where cars should stop and prevent them from overshooting or parking in unauthorised areas.

In addition to car parks, wheel stops can also be used in other environments where vehicle traffic is present. This may include loading docks, warehouses, factories, and other industrial settings. They are also sometimes used in residential areas, to prevent cars from blocking driveways or parking in unauthorised areas.

What Are the Key Features to Consider When Choosing Wheel Stops?

When choosing wheel stops, there are several key features to consider, including:

• Size and dimensions: Wheel stops are available in a range of sizes, to accommodate different parking spaces and vehicle sizes. It is important to choose a wheel stop that is the right size for the space and the vehicles that will be using it.
