An Easy Wheel Stop Installation Guide for Your Parking Complex

If you have a property that gets high pedestrian or vehicle traffic and if you are looking to install Wheel Stops, here is a comprehensive installation guide that will help you accurately install them.

What Type of Wheel Stops Should You Consider?

Wheel Stops can add both safety and aesthetic appeal to your parking complex. A Wheel Stop alerts the driver about the designated parking zone.

Wheel Stops are highly recommended in commercial areas to maintain organised and collision-free parking facilities.

Wheel Stops are suitable for all kinds of parking complexes. They are typically used to restrict vehicles from going over the designated parking space. They can avoid inconvenience for pedestrians and can also prevent accidental collisions with other vehicles.

There are different types of Wheel Stops available from us and all of them comply with the Australian standards AS2890.1:2004.
