Concrete wheel stops offer maximum mass and impact resistance for high-traffic lots, while rubber options reduce tire abrasion, provide better impact absorption, and are ideal near storefronts and pedestrian zones. High-density plastic (HDPE) is lightweight, UV-stable, and chemically resistant—useful around fueling areas and industrial facilities. We recommend the best profile and length based on vehicle types and site usage.
Correct placement is critical for safety and accessibility. We set wheel stops to prevent bumper overhang from obstructing accessible routes, protect curb ramps and landings, and maintain required clear widths. Layout respects fire lanes, loading areas, and sight lines, and avoids drainage paths to prevent ponding or undermining of anchors.
To extend service life, we recommend periodic inspections, hardware re-torque, and prompt replacement of damaged units. Reflective accents improve night visibility, and sealers or coatings help resist staining. When replacement is needed, we extract anchors cleanly, patch holes, and reinstall to current standards, keeping records for maintenance planning and warranty support.
