Ensure Safety and Efficiency for HGVs with High-Quality Wheel Guides

Managing large goods vehicles (HGVs) within your facility requires a constant focus on safety and efficiency. Street Solutions UK's HGV Wheel Guides offer a straightforward yet impactful solution to achieve both. These guides, constructed from heavy-duty galvanised steel, serve a dual purpose. First, they act as a clear visual barrier, helping drivers stay centered during crucial operations like loading, unloading, and manoeuvring. Secondly, they provide a physical barrier, preventing accidental tire contact with walls, equipment, or other vehicles.

The benefits of HGV Wheel Guides are far-reaching. By minimising the risk of driver error, they significantly enhance safety for your personnel. This translates to a reduced potential for accidents and injuries within your facility. Additionally, these guides help prevent costly damage to your infrastructure by keeping HGVs on the designated path. Scrapes, bumps, and potential tire blowouts become less likely, saving you time and money on repairs and downtime.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an HGV wheel guide and an HGV wheel stop? +

An HGV wheel stop is a physical barrier positioned on the ground to stop a truck from overrunning a parking space. Serving a different purpose, an HGV wheel guide is a steel barrier that directs a vehicle into the proper position in a loading bay.

How do HGV wheel guides improve safety in loading bays? +

HGV wheel guides promote safety by ensuring that heavy goods vehicles are correctly positioned for loading and unloading. They reduce collisions with equipment, buildings, or people while improving overall efficiency.

What are the standards for wheel stops? +

Wheel stops in the UK typically follow BS EN 1991 and health and safety rules, with a prescribed height of 100 to 150 mm to stop automobiles without causing damage. They should be long-lasting, visible, and safe for both drivers and pedestrians.

Where to position wheel stops? +

To prevent overflow onto sidewalks or buildings, install an HGV wheel stop 900 mm from the end of a parking bay and strategically situated inside the area. Placement also ensures consistent alignment across all bays.

What is the difference between bollards and wheel stops? +

Bollards are vertical poles used to restrict or limit vehicle entry, while wheel stops are low obstacles that keep cars from rolling beyond a certain point inside a parking area. In fact, they are often utilised jointly to provide optimal protection.

What is the difference between straight and cranked HGV wheel guides? +

Straight guides run parallel for direct, unobstructed reversing lanes. Cranked guides add an angled entry that steers HGVs approaching at an oblique angle into alignment, ideal for tight yards.

How far apart should HGV wheel guides be positioned? +

Space guides to the track width of your heaviest vehicle, leaving roughly 50mm to 100mm between the outer tyre wall and guide face for correction without tyre damage.

Do HGV wheel guides need to be bolted into the ground? +

Yes. Reversing HGVs exert repeated force, so wheel guides must be permanently bolted into concrete or tarmac. Fixed mounting points and anchor bolts provide the stability needed for daily use.

What is the difference between galvanised and powder-coated HGV wheel guides? +

Galvanised guides use a zinc coating for corrosion resistance. Powder-coated guides add a polymer finish for visibility and abrasion resistance, making them well suited to high-cycle loading bays.

Are HGV wheel guides a legal requirement for loading bays? +

No single law mandates the use of wheel guides, but they support the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and 1999 Management Regulations. Risk assessments often make them a recognised control.
