Arrow Safety is one of Sydney’s dependable safety equipment suppliers. We stock an extensive range of safety products to respond to all our customers’ safety requirements. Coupled with our team of professionals who can help you make the right decision; we service customers across the state. One of our best-selling products is our range of Wheel Stops Australia.

Arrow Safety aims to ensure that our wheel stops are durable and meet our customer’s standards. As an Australian company, we adhere to the national standards to reassure our customers that our wheel stops are safe to use. In line with AS2890.1:2004, we supply wheel stops that are within the height of 90-100mm and width of 1650mm with an allowance of 50mm.

In addition to supplying Australia with our wheel stops, we also have a team ready to install on site when necessary. When installing our safety equipment Sydney, we take care to adhere to the guidelines and standards. Australian standards state that wheel stops should be placed in the middle of a car space, with equal distance on both sides. The standards for the distance between the wheel stops and the kerb are as followed:

150mm Kerb:

  • Front in: 620mm between kerb and
wheel stop

  • Rear in: 900mm between kerb and wheel stop

Higher than 150mm Kerb:

  • Front in: 820mm between kerb and wheel stop
  • Rear in: 1100mm between kerb and wheel stop

Wheel stops are used across Australia for a range of purposes. The primary use is to prevent vehicles from moving too far into a parking spot and colling with a wall or property. Furthermore, preventing this encroachment ensures that cars do not hang over a kerb, blocking pedestrian’s pathways and creating hazards. Similarly, wheel stops are used to prevent vehicles moving over pedestrian pathways, embankments, and similar structures. Additionally, they are used to keep pedestrians safe from moving vehicles.

The only time that wheel stops would be an obstacle, is when their placement creates a hazard. For example, wheel stops should never block the pedestrian pathway or be installed where pedestrians are likely to be crossing over. Rubber wheel stops are the preferred material because of their durability. They should have bright surfaces or preferably highly reflective surfaces to ensure pedestrians and drivers can easily view the wheel stops. Arrow Safety ensures our wheel stops meet these Australian demands and we have stocked an exceptionally durable rubber wheel stop with 3M reflective tape. In addition, we stock a high-visibility yellow wheel stop in a polyethylene material, which meets the mentioned requirements.

For maximum protection, it is recommended that these wheel stops are used in conjunction with other Safety Equipment Australia. As one of Sydney’s safety equipment suppliers, Arrow Safety ensures they have suitable products for this purpose. The safety provided by wheel stops would be easily heightened using metal bollards. Arrow Safety has an expansive range of bollards that can be used with our wheel stops and are equally hi-vis. The combined use of this safety equipment helps keep pedestrians, properties, and vehicles safe across Australia.
