Rubber Stopper

 

Rubber wheel stoppers are suitable for use on gravel, asphalt, bitumen and other hard surfaces. They do not require concreting or gluing into place and therefore are ready to use immediately after installation. They weigh 14kg and do not require specialist lifting equipment to install. The highly visible yellow and black reflective tape ensures they do not present a tripping hazard for pedestrians. They measure 160mm wide x 100mm high x 1650mm long.

 

Tools required

 

• Your new rubber wheel stopper

• Relevant PPE as per your local workplace health and safety recommendations

 

For a concrete surface

• Hammer drill with a 12mm masonry bit and 16mm socket

• 3 x galvanized hex head screwbolts measuring 12mm diameter x 150mm long

 

For a gravel or asphalt surface

• Hammer

• 3 x fixing pins measuring 13mm diameter x 360mm long with a 20mm head

• (Optional) An epoxy such as Megapoxy 36 Gun Grade fitted into a caulking gun.

 

Install your wheel stopper

 

• Ensure the surface is flat. Estimate the necessary distance that the wheel stopper needs to sit from the kerb, wall or edge. Take into account whether the parking area is designated as front to kerb or rear to kerb as this will affect the installation position.

• Lay the wheel stopper in position.

• For a concrete surface, drill a 12mm guide hole through the wheel stopper and into the road surface to a depth of approximately 100mm. Brush away any concrete dust.

• Secure the screw bolts through the wheel stopper into the pre-drilled holes using your 16mm socket.

• For a gravel or asphalt surface, gun a generous bead of epoxy (if necessary) into the hole.

Line up the fixing pins and hammer them through the wheel stopper and into the road surface.
