Wheel Stops & Parking Aids

Wheel Stops & Parking Aids — Rubber & Plastic Car Park Wheel Stops for UK Sites

Wheel stops and parking aids prevent vehicles from overshooting parking bays, damaging walls, kerbs, and pedestrian areas in car parks, garages, and loading zones. BarriersCo's Wheel Stops & Parking Aids range includes rubber wheel stops, plastic wheel curbs, recycled rubber parking blocks, and parking posts — all designed for easy bolt-down installation on tarmac, concrete, or block paving. Whether you manage a small business car park or a large multi-site estate, our range provides a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution for consistent bay control.

Choosing the Right Wheel Stop

Wheel stops are typically 1.0–1.8 metres long and 100–150 mm high — sufficient to halt a car tyre cleanly without causing damage. For standard car parks, recycled rubber wheel stops are the most popular choice: they are durable, highly visible in black/yellow, and can be fixed with anchor bolts supplied. For heavy goods vehicle or van bays, heavier-duty concrete or steel-reinforced rubber stops may be required to withstand the higher axle weights. For indoor use in warehouse loading areas, plastic wheel stops in high-visibility yellow are lightweight, easy to clean, and resistant to oil and chemical spill damage.

UK Car Park Safety & Compliance

Under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, employers must ensure that vehicles and pedestrians can move safely in workplace car parks, and that suitable controls prevent vehicle collision with walls, structures, and pedestrian zones. Wheel stops form a key physical control measure. For retail car parks, the British Parking Association (BPA) Code of Practice recommends clear bay markings and physical stops to improve the safety and usability of car park facilities.
