Parking Lot Wheel Stops

Parking, especially parking backward, requires an experienced and safe driver. Wheel stops are a very useful and simple tool designed to make parking fast, easy and safe. As a rule, wheel stops for cars are used to prevent car accidents in narrow and short parking lots. When losing control, a driver may drive into curbs, buildings or other cars. For large vehicles, it is even more important to predict all the risks and avoid all the dangers. ​
Charleston Parking Lot Wheel Stops
All wheel stops are the same in width, 12 inches. Wheel stops’ height usually varies from 9 to 10 cm. In most cases, their length equals 4, 6 or 8 inches. The length is an important factor when it comes to buying the wheel stops. The longer the item is, the greater is its overall size, hence its price. There exist a wide range of wheel stops with various dimensions, weight, and price to suit all sizes of vehicles. One more thing to remember is that the distance between these equipment items and curbs should not be less than 60 cm. If wheel stops are used to prevent vehicle contact with a wall, an extra 20 cm should be added to this distance. Also, wheel stops higher than 10 cm are not recommended to be used in the parking lots.
