This video provides an overview of our Premium Wheel Stop (1830mm) — a wider-format wheel stop designed for larger car parking spaces.
If you’d prefer to read rather than watch, the key points are outlined below.
Where the 1830mm wheel stop is typically used
The 1830mm Premium Wheel Stop is most commonly used in:
-
Wider car parking spaces, such as accessible (disability) parks
-
Sites where larger vehicles, like utes, regularly use standard parking bays
The additional width helps ensure the wheel stop aligns properly with wider wheel tracks and provides consistent stopping protection across the full bay.
When a wheel stop makes sense
A simple rule of thumb:
If there’s nothing physically stopping a vehicle from rolling past its parking space and:
-
Hitting a building or asset, or
-
Entering a pedestrian area
…that’s a strong indicator a wheel stop should be installed.
Wheel stops are particularly helpful for drivers reversing into parks, as it provides a clear touch point to indicate when the vehicle is correctly positioned within the bay.
Material, weight, and handling
This wheel stop:
-
Weighs 14kg per unit
-
Is made from heavy-duty recycled plastic
-
Is durable, but still light enough for a single person to install
It offers a practical balance between strength and ease of handling, especially when compared with heavier options like concrete wheel stops.
Limitations to be aware of:
-
If you’re managing heavy vehicles such as trucks or buses we recommend a heavy-duty wheel stop instead.
-
If your site only has standard-width car parks, the 1650mm Premium Wheel Stop may be a better fit.
Design features that support wider vehicles
On the underside of the wheel stop, you’ll see reinforcing support structures that give it strength without adding unnecessary weight.
At each end, there is additional reinforcement designed specifically to handle contact from wider wheelbase vehicles. This helps prevent end damage or crumbling — a common issue when narrower or lighter-weight rubber alternatives are used in bays frequented by utes.
Visibility in low-light conditions
Each wheel stop includes eight reflective yellow chevrons (4 each side).
These improve visibility at night and in low-light environments when vehicle headlights reflect off the surface.
Fixing points and installation
The 1830mm Premium Wheel Stop has three fixing points — one at each end and one in the centre.
We supply different fixings depending on the surface:
Asphalt installation
-
M12 x 300mm rebar spikes
-
Inserted through the fixing holes and driven into the asphalt with a sledgehammer
Concrete installation
-
M12 x 150mm concrete screws
-
Installed using an impact driver or socket wrench
Need help choosing the right wheel stop?
Wheel stops aren’t one-size-fits-all. Vehicle type, bay width, surface, and surrounding risks all matter.
