Precast Concrete Wheel Stoppers
Trakhees-compliant 1.8m/2m stops. Chamfered edges for tire protection.
Product Description
Precast Concrete Wheel Stopper (Car Stop)
Product Overview
The Precast Concrete Wheel Stopper is a critical safety element for parking facility management, designed to physically limit vehicle travel within designated bays. By preventing vehicles from overhanging sidewalks or striking structural columns, walls, and other vehicles, these units mitigate property damage and liability.
Our wheel stops are engineered to withstand the impact of passenger vehicles and light trucks, offering a far superior lifespan compared to rubber or plastic alternatives which warp and detach in high temperatures.
Material Specifications & Quality
- Concrete Mix: C40/50 High-Performance Concrete.
- Reinforcement: 2x T10 longitudinal bars with stirrups for impact shear resistance.
- Finish Options:
- Standard: Fair-faced grey concrete.
- Painted: Industrial-grade chlorinated rubber paint (Yellow/Black) for high visibility.
Key Technical Advantages
- Standardized Dimensions: Sized to fit standard 2.5m x 5.0m parking bays without impeding pedestrian access between vehicles.
- Optimized Profile: Standard Height: 100mm - 120mm to clear low-profile sports car bumpers while stopping standard sedans/SUVs.
- Tire Protection: Chamfered top edges eliminate pinch points, preventing damage to low-profile tires.
- Secure Anchorage: Cast-in holes (Ø20mm) allow for robust fixing to asphalt (via rebar spikes) or concrete slabs (via expansion bolts).
- Thermal Stability: Concrete matches the thermal expansion coefficient of the parking surface, preventing loosening of fixings common with rubber stoppers.
