Rubber Wheel Guard

A rubber wheel guard is usually found in the parking lots of a building and mounted on the parking floor. The dimension of the guard is almost identical to other wheel guards found in other parking areas because it is already part of the building code that protects motorists in any accident that may occur. Its primary purpose is to assist the driver when maneuvering in the parking area, and when the wheels hit the wheel guards, the car is already in the correct position.

There are also cases where a driver or mechanical failure occurs. The vehicle might suddenly accelerate to the sidewalk or collide with another car, so it is essential to have a wheel guard to prevent any accident. Wheel guards used to be made of cement and have a shorter lifespan than rubber-made. Our rubber wheel guards are made of high-grade compound materials and have good elasticity properties, so they will not be damaged immediately.

Why You Use a Rubber Wheel Guard

As someone who has worked in the parking industry for many years, I can say with certainty that one of the most overlooked pieces of safety equipment is the rubber wheel guard. Parking lot managers and owners should consider using these guards to protect their customers and employees.

  1. They were designed to keep vehicles from slipping off a raised surface. They work by channeling the water away from the tire, which gives it more traction. This is especially important in icy or wet conditions but can also be helpful on dry surfaces.
  2. Provide a measure of safety for your customers and employees.
  3. It can help reduce the amount of wear and tear on your pavement.

Importance of Rubber Wheel Guards in Parking Lots

Rubber wheel guards play a crucial role in parking lots by providing safety benefits to prevent accidents and assisting drivers in maneuvering vehicles, ultimately protecting motorists in case of sudden acceleration or mechanical failure. These wheel guards are a barrier between the vehicle’s wheels and potential hazards, such as curbs or other vehicles. They help prevent vehicles from slipping off raised surfaces, ensuring better traction, especially in wet or icy conditions. Additionally, rubber wheel guards offer longevity advantages compared to cement-based alternatives.

Made from high-grade compound materials with good elasticity properties, they are more damage-resistant and have a longer lifespan. This makes them a cost-effective solution for parking lot owners and managers, reducing maintenance costs associated with frequent repairs or replacements of traditional cement wheel guards.

Installation Process

Installing a rubber wheel guard in a parking lot is a process that can be completed by a professional or someone experienced with construction. The first step is to mark the area where the guard will be installed using spray paint or chalk. Once the area is marked, the next step is removing any existing pavement markings or debris. After the area has been cleared, the next step is to install the base of the guard. The floor can be installed using either screws or adhesive.

Once the ground is in place, the next step is to install the top of the guard. The top of the guard can be installed in one of two ways: by fitting it into place or securing it with screws. Once the top of the guard has been installed, it’s time to test it out!

Advantages of Rubber Wheel Guards Over Cement Wheel Guards

One advantage of using wheel guards made of high-grade compound materials over those made of cement is their superior durability and longevity. Unlike cement wheel guards, which are prone to cracking and breaking under stress, rubber wheel guards made from high-grade compounds offer excellent resistance to wear and tear. These guards can withstand extreme weather conditions without deteriorating or losing their effectiveness. Additionally, the installation process for rubber wheel guards is relatively simple and cost-effective. The guards have mounting holes that allow for easy installation and can be easily transferred from one location to another if needed. Overall, the use of rubber wheel guards provides a cost-effective solution for residential and commercial parking areas while ensuring long-lasting durability and effective protection against accidents caused by vehicles slipping off raised surfaces.
