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. 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 have a 6.0% maximum absorption rate, are machine-cast and steel-reinforced, and are 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 or damage.
We design our truck parking stop blocks to withstand the forces a truck can bring, and they also clearly mark parking boundaries so there will be no confusion about where to park, reducing the risk of collisions and trucks getting stuck, or people taking shortcuts and parking in places that are inconvenient for others.
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.
It is important from a safety and durability standpoint to choose truck parking stop blocks made from high-quality materials. Our production process and reinforcement make them rugged enough to withstand repeated impacts from large trucks without budging or cracking. Knockouts make it easy for forklifts to move and place the parking stop blocks for easy installation.
It can also handle harsh weather conditions throughout the year. Nitterhouse truck parking blocks are capable of resisting UV light from the sun, so you don’t have to worry about warping or twisting.
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. You should space the blocks evenly 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. You can install our parking blocks on concrete, asphalt or gravel using the following tools:
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.
An 8′ truck parking block is ideal for semi-trucks as we size them 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 of 12″ 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 6′ length stop block for cars weighs 185 lbs., our truck parking blocks weigh in at a 933 lbs.
The steel reinforcement makes our concrete semi-truck parking blocks stronger, and the psi mixture also 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.
The concrete truck parking stop blocks we have for sale are precast for large commercial projects. They are also available with the following color features and bumper specifications.
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 throughout the year, contributing to an orderly parking lot.
