Whether you’re outfitting a multi-storey car park, industrial gateway, or small business site, our solutions ensure vehicles stop, spaces are managed, and safety is maintained.

Why Choose Wheel Stops & Chocks from Southland

When you choose our wheel stops and chocks, you benefit from:

• Durability and quality – Manufactured from engineered rubber, plastic, or composite materials to withstand vehicles, weather, and repeated impact.

• Visible safety design – Bold colour contrasts, reflective striping, and signage options help drive awareness and reduce vehicle encroachment.

• Application versatility – Ideal for roads, carparks, warehouses, and industrial sites, from standard parking bays to heavy-duty truck restraints.

• Compliance and practicality – Suitable for Australian conditions, helping you meet site safety, OH&S, and traffic management standards.

• Stock breadth – From small moulded plastic wheel chocks to premium heavy-duty rubber wheel stops of 1.65 m length, we carry a wide selection.

Key Applications of Wheel Stops & Chocks

• Carpark bays and retail centres: Use wheel stops to define parking bays, prevent wheel-over, and maintain tidy lines.

• Loading docks and industrial yards: Heavy-duty wheel chocks secure trucks during loading and unloading, protecting infrastructure and personnel.

• Residential and strata parking: Mark visitor bays, prevent unauthorised parking, or set up dedicated bays with chocks or stop bars.

• Traffic management zones: When used in conjunction with bollards and speed humps, wheel stops help manage vehicle flow in roads and carpark zones.

Important Features to Consider

Material & Weight

• Lighter moulded plastic chocks are suitable for smaller vehicles and indoor use.

• Heavy-duty rubber or urethane blocks are better for trucks and outdoor, high-impact environments.

Size & Design

• Length, height, and anchoring options vary; longer wheel stops (e.g., 1.65 m) provide greater coverage.

• Some designs offer integral signage (e.g., “NO PARKING”, “VISITOR”) to improve visual cueing.

Colour & Visibility

• Standard colours include black/yellow, bright yellow, or blue, assisting driver awareness.

• Reflective strips or signage enhance visibility in low-light conditions.

Installation & Anchoring

• Choose options that allow secure anchoring to concrete or asphalt surfaces for longevity and stability.

• Consider the surface substrate and traffic volume when selecting anchoring kits.

Maintenance & Replacement

• Inspect regularly for wear, cracking, fading, or loosening.

• Replace units that are damaged to maintain safety efficacy and compliance.

How to Select the Right Wheel Stop or Chock for Your Site

1. Assess vehicle types – Determine whether you’re dealing with standard cars, light vans, or heavy trucks.

2. Analyse site conditions – Outdoor vs indoor, surface type (asphalt, concrete), exposure to weather, lighting conditions.

3. Determine usage frequency and traffic flow – High-usage parking bays may need more robust stops.

4. Consider compliance needs – Ensure the design aligns with your traffic management plan and safety regulations.

5. Match aesthetics and signage requirements – For branded car parks or strata sites, use colour or signage integrated models.

6. Plan anchoring and installation logistics – Surface preparation, drilling, layout, and safety during installation.
