Wheel Stops
Wheel stops are often installed at the end of a car parking spacing preventing nuisance impacts with other vehicles or other obstacles at the end of the parking space. Rubber wheel stops are an economical solution and may be anchored to concrete or asphalt. The attachment of reflective tape provides high visibility for both motorists and pedestrians.
Wheel stops may be secured to asphalt with pins and to concrete with expansion anchors facilitating rapid installation. Wheel stops may be installed in combination with RhinoStop crash barriers preventing nuisance impacts with the barrier system.
