At Lockwood Precast, we take pride in delivering high-quality, durable solutions for your parking lot needs. Our 5000psi rebar-reinforced precast parking blocks—also known as curb stops, wheel stops, or parking curbs—are engineered to provide unmatched strength, safety, and functionality. Let’s dive into why our parking blocks stand out and how they can enhance your parking lot.
Why Choose Lockwood Precast Parking Blocks?
Unrivaled Strength and Durability
Our parking blocks are made with 5000psi concrete, reinforced with steel rebar, ensuring they withstand heavy traffic, harsh weather, and constant use. Unlike plastic or unreinforced concrete options, our precast blocks resist cracking, fading, and deformation, offering a long-lasting solution that saves you money on replacements.
Superior to Other Options
Plastic Wheel Stops: Lightweight and prone to fading or breaking under impact, plastic stops often require frequent replacement.
Unreinforced Concrete: Without rebar, standard concrete blocks can crack under pressure and are prone to shifting and even fully separating over time.
Asphalt Stops: These lack the precision and durability of precast concrete, often deteriorating quickly.
Rubber Wheel Stops: Although somewhat lightweight, rubber stops are also susceptible to fading and deformation, often requiring frequent replacement.
Our rebar-reinforced precast parking blocks provide a precise, stable, and aesthetically pleasing solution that outperforms these alternatives.
Low Maintenance
Designed for longevity, our parking blocks require minimal upkeep. Their smooth finish resists dirt buildup, and their robust 5000psi construction means they won’t chip or crumble easily, keeping your parking lot looking professional.
The Many Uses of Parking Blocks
Parking blocks, also called curb stops, wheel stops, or parking chocks, serve multiple purposes that enhance safety and efficiency:
Traffic Flow Control: Strategically placed parking blocks guide vehicles into designated spaces, ensuring a smooth flow of traffic while preventing haphazard parking and deterring vehicles from cutting through your parking lot, which can be a danger to your customers and property.
Enhanced Safety: By stopping vehicles at a safe distance, our blocks protect pedestrians, landscaping, and building facades from accidental collisions.
Property Protection: Parking blocks safeguard your business by preventing vehicles from encroaching on sidewalks, storefronts, or other sensitive areas.
Accessibility Compliance: Our blocks can be installed to support ADA-compliant parking layouts, ensuring accessible spaces are clearly defined.
