When managing a car park, whether it’s at a shopping centre, office building, or residential complex, wheel stops are a crucial yet often overlooked component. These barriers ensure vehicles park safely, protecting pedestrians, other vehicles, and property. But not all wheel stops are created equal. To maximise safety and compliance, it’s essential to use wheel stops that meet Australian Standards, like the premium product now offered by Car Park Safety Supplies.
What Are Wheel Stops, and Why Do We Need Them?
Wheel stops, also known as parking stops or kerb stops, are barriers placed at the end of parking spaces to prevent vehicles from going too far forward. They’re a simple but vital part of any parking area, helping to keep everything in order. However, choosing the right wheel stop, particularly one that meets the Australian Standards, makes all the difference in ensuring safety and compliance.
Introducing Car Park Safety Supplies' Premium Wheel Stop
Car Park Safety Supplies now supplies a top-notch Wheel Stop that complies with the current Australian Standards AS/NZS 2890.1:2004. But what sets our Wheel Stop apart from the rest?
-
Made from 100% Recycled Rubber: Our Wheel Stops are environmentally friendly, made entirely from recycled rubber.

Why Australian Standards Compliance Matters
Choosing a Wheel Stop that meets Australian Standards isn’t just about ticking a box—it’s about ensuring the safety and longevity of your car park. The AS/NZS 2890.1:2004 standard sets specific requirements for the design, dimensions, and placement of wheel stops, ensuring they’re safe, effective, and durable.
Here’s what compliance means for you:
-
Height and Length: Our Wheel Stops meet the required height of 90-100 mm and length of 1650 mm, ensuring they effectively stop vehicles without causing damage or posing a tripping hazard.
-
Material Quality: The use of 100% recycled rubber not only supports sustainability but also ensures that the Wheel Stops are tough and long-lasting.
-
Proper Placement: By following the standard’s guidelines on placement, you can ensure that the Wheel Stops do their job without obstructing pedestrian pathways or creating other hazards.
