Wheel stops and wheel chocks do different jobs

A wheel stop is fixed to the ground at the head of a bay and sets the point a vehicle stops at, so it parks squarely and clear of the wall, kerb or bay behind it. A wheel chock is loose and is placed against a wheel to stop a parked or loading vehicle rolling. Many sites need both.

Sizing for cars and HGVs

Stops are sold in several lengths. A shorter stop sits in the centre of a car bay and guides the driver without filling the width of the space. Longer stops and dedicated HGV stops suit commercial and lorry bays, where the vehicle is heavier and has to be stopped square.

Fixing

Stops are fixed either with bolts or with adhesive. Bolted fixings are the usual choice outdoors on tarmac and concrete. Adhesive suits indoor floors and decks where drilling is not wanted. Check which fixings are included before ordering, as some stops are supplied with them and some are not.

Colour

Rubber stops are available in black and white, red and white, and yellow and black. Pick the combination that stands out against the surface it is fixed to and stays visible under the lighting the car park has.


Frequently Asked Questions

How are wheel stops installed? +

Wheel stops are installed by drilling into the surface (concrete or asphalt) and fastening them with bolts or rebar pins. This guarantees they remain securely in place even after many vehicle encounters.

How heavy are parking blocks? +

Concrete parking blocks in the UK typically weigh 90-100 kg, while rubber blocks usually weigh 15-25 kg. Their weight restricts simple movement while maintaining stability and lifespan.

Where to place parking stops? +

Parking stops are installed at the entrance to each bay, about 90 cm from the end, to safely stop automobiles without blocking pathways or walls. Proper placement also protects structures, fences, and pedestrian areas.

What are the key materials used for parking stops, and are they safe for vehicles? +

Wheel stops are frequently constructed from enduring materials such as recycled rubber, concrete, and plastic, each of which provides distinct advantages in terms of vehicle safety and longevity. Rubber and plastic parking blocks are more forgiving and less likely to cause damage to a car's undercarriage upon impact, whereas concrete versions have the potential to cause damage.

Are parking blocks necessary for every parking lot, and how do they enhance safety? +

Parking stops, which act as a physical barrier to keep automobiles from sliding into walls, pedestrian areas, or other cars, are strongly advised for improving safety, even if they are not necessarily required by law. They also guarantee that cars park in approved spots and aid in traffic flow organisation.

What are rubber wheel stops and parking blocks? +

Car and HGV rubber wheel stops and parking blocks are devices that are used to help drivers park their vehicles safely and securely. They are typically placed at the end of a parking space to prevent vehicles from rolling past the intended parking area.

Why should I choose rubber wheel stops and parking blocks over other materials? +

Rubber wheel stops and parking blocks are made from high-quality, durable materials that can withstand even the toughest of conditions. They're also flexible and will not damage vehicles if bumped, making them ideal for use in busy car parks.

How many parking wheel stops do I need per bay? +

One 1800mm wheel stop per standard car bay, fitted centrally to catch both front tyres. Where wheel stops are specified for HGV bays, two stops are commonly used, one for each wheel line.

Can rubber parking wheel stops be used on loose or gravel surfaces? +

No. Rubber parking wheel stops need bolt or rebar fixing into concrete or tarmac, not loose or gravel ground.

What is the difference between a 550mm, 900mm, and 1800mm wheel stop? +

Length sets tyre coverage. A 550mm stop suits motorcycles or compact bays, 900mm fits most cars, and the 1800mm engages both front tyres, making it the car park standard.

Are rubber parking wheel stops compliant with UK health and safety regulations? +

There is no single BS standard, but they support the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 on vehicle movement. High-visibility yellow or red colouring improves visibility and supports safer vehicle movement.

Can parking wheel stops be used indoors in warehouses or multi-storey car parks? +

Yes. Rubber wheel stops suit warehouses, multi-storey car parks, and basements. On smooth concrete floors, choose bolt-fixed stops over rebar, and pick high-visibility colours for artificially lit areas.
