You cannot order 7’, 8’ or truck parking blocks via our online store. This is due to the length they must ship via flatbed trucks. And a forklift must be on site to unload. You can email us: masonry@nitterhouse.com to get a freight rate. Please include the parking block length, quantity and zip code they will be shipping to.
Our semi-truck and tractor-trailer parking blocks are the answer for all of your truck parking needs. We can supply you with long-lasting, high-quality semi-truck parking blocks. You can order one block or enough to help safeguard an entire distribution center from collisions.

It is important from a safety and durability standpoint to choose truck parking stop blocks made from high-quality materials. Every parking block we produce features machine-cast, steel-reinforced 5,500 psi concrete. Rugged enough to withstand repeated impacts from large trucks without budging or cracking. It can also handle harsh weather conditions throughout the year. Nitterhouse truck parking blocks are capable of resisting UV light from the sun — you never have to worry about warping or twisting.
An 8′ truck parking block is ideal for semi-trucks as it is sized to the width of a commercial truck axle. It works well for industrial facilities or other locations where trucks need to park.
While you can’t always avoid parking mistakes, you can safeguard your property and improve pedestrian safety with our well-sized bulky truck parking blocks. A concrete truck parking stop block from Nitterhouse Masonry has a width and height of 12”, a top width of 4” and a length of 8’, ensuring you get the larger dimensions needed to accommodate large vehicles. All blocks come with pins that will hold them securely in place, even after significant impact.
We’ve engineered, designed and constructed these heavy-duty parking stop blocks specifically to handle the extra weight and bulk of a big truck. While a standard stop block for cars weighs 185 lbs., our truck parking blocks weigh in at a solid 933 lbs.
The steel reinforcement makes our concrete semi-truck parking blocks heavier, and the psi mixture adds to their strength and durability. The blocks guide truck drivers to brake at the right position — parking the truck neatly in a designated parking spot to avoid damaging structures and fences on your premises. You can install our parking blocks on:
The light gray color of our machine-cast blocks easily blends in with any kind of architecture and color scheme. Because these blocks can withstand repeated impacts and harsh weather conditions, they maintain a neat appearance — season after season — contributing to an orderly parking lot.
It’s easy to securely install stop blocks. You’ll need a forklift or a few helping hands to place the heavy blocks in their designated spots. The blocks should be evenly spaced in a straight line. Once the heavy-duty blocks are in position, you can drill holes into the block to sturdily secure it with rebar pins. For this process, you’ll need a high-speed hammer drill and drill bit.
Built into every concrete truck parking stop block is absolute durability, and these blocks need minimal maintenance. Simply remove any dirt or grime buildup once a year. You can also clear away snow during winter to avoid moisture saturation when it melts.
Wondering whether your parking lot needs concrete truck parking blocks instead of regular parking bumpers? Check out these top three reasons to use concrete truck parking stops in your lot:
Concrete is the most durable material for truck parking stop blocks to be made out of. Durable precast concrete truck wheel stops can withstand immense pressure from trucks’ large wheels. The key to a parking bumper’s durability is strong, high-quality concrete. Nitterhouse Masonry truck parking blocks are machine-cast, steel-reinforced, and produced using 5,500 psi concrete to be as long-lasting as possible.
While concrete truck parking blocks must be able to endure impact from trucks, they must also be strong enough to withstand wear and tear due to harsh weather conditions. The longevity of a concrete parking block for trucks depends on it not cracking or crumbling in the face of extreme weather. Nitterhouse Masonry truck parking blocks are also UV light resistant, which means they won’t warp or twist over time.
Without concrete stoppers constructed specifically for trucks, a parking lot can be hazardous for both people and property. Regular parking bumpers are not suitable for trucks because a truck’s wheels are so much larger than the average vehicle’s wheels. Some types of parking stoppers can’t stand up to the force of a truck, which puts the surrounding buildings, people and other parking lot fixtures at risk.
Installing concrete truck parking stop blocks can solve this issue by providing a reliable stop for bigger vehicles. With truck parking stops, you can help truck drivers stop more accurately and avoid any unnecessary expenses in damages.
Parking a large vehicle like a truck can make it easy to misjudge the parking distance and drive a bit beyond the designated parking space, especially when the spot is tight. Tight parking spaces tend to limit a truck driver’s visibility, which can lead to a parking accident. Concrete truck parking blocks serve as a safeguard against trucks going beyond the parking space, allowing truck drivers to park in head-on parking spots without needing to worry about rolling onto sidewalks or into any other parked vehicles.
