Avoid damage to your infrastructure with the right wheel guides

Wheel guides prevent wrong parking, minimize damage to vehicles and infrastructure, and ensure orderly parking arrangements. To guide freight vehicles safely and accurately to a loading or unloading dock, wheel guides are indispensable.

Analysis

Based on the following needs, different types of wheel guides can be used depending on the specific situation in the parking lot or loading area:

  • Vehicle guidance and positioning: Ensures that vehicles remain correctly within parking spaces or trucks are accurately directed to a quay.
  • Protection of infrastructure: Avoids damage to walls, walkways, loading docks and other facilities.
  • Road Safety: Contributes to a safe and orderly flow of traffic in the parking lot or in a logistics area.
  • Resistance to load: Depending on the type of vehicles, wheel guides must withstand light passenger cars or heavy trucks. View more information about a wheel crank for trucks. 
  • Sustainability and maintenance: Materials must be resistant to abrasion, weather conditions and chemicals such as oil and salt.

Different types of wheel guides

There are several types of wheel guides, each suitable for specific applications:

  • Rubber wheel guides: Flexible and shock absorbent, ideal for standard parking lots.
  • Concrete wheel guides: Very durable and suitable for parking lots with heavy loads and logistics areas.
  • Metal wheel guides: Often used in industrial parking lots and loading docks where extra strength is needed.
  • Plastic wheel guides: Lightweight and easy to install, suitable for temporary or less intensive applications.
  • Reflective or illuminated wheel guides: Improve visibility, especially at night and in crowded loading zones.

Expert installation and maintenance

Proper installation and regular maintenance are essential to the effectiveness and longevity of wheel guides. This includes:

  • Strategic placement: Wheel guides are installed in appropriate locations to ensure maximum effectiveness, both in parking spaces and at loading docks.
  • Expert fixing: Depending on the type of wheel guide, they are anchored with bolts, bonded or integrated into the road surface.
  • Periodic inspection: Check for wear, loosening or damage from vehicles and weathering.
  • Maintenance and replacement: Timely repair or replacement of worn wheel guides to ensure safety.

By choosing the right wheel guides and having them professionally installed, an outdoor parking or loading area can be set up efficiently and safely, with longer life and minimal maintenance costs.
