Concrete wheel stops are the precast units anchored at the head of a parking space to stop a vehicle's wheel before it reaches a walkway, a building, landscaping, or the next stall. You will also see them called parking stops, parking blocks, parking bumpers, car stoppers, or concrete curb stops. They are the same product, and we manufacture all of it. If the naming is what brought you here, we cover every term this product goes by in what that concrete block in a parking space is called.
American Precast Concrete has been pouring them in Pomona, California since 1978. We ship roughly 7,300 wheel stops in a typical year to parking lots, distribution yards, retail centers, HOAs, schools, and municipal facilities across the country. Everything is made in our own plant, so you are buying from the people who cast it, not a reseller marking up someone else's product.
The choice comes down to what drives over them.
Car wheel stops (CB-Series) handle passenger vehicles and light trucks: retail lots, office complexes, apartment communities, dealerships, and municipal parking. A typical 4,500 PSI mix, steel reinforcement, and 4-, 6-, and 8-foot lengths at 105, 165, and 210 pounds. The 6-foot CB06 fits a standard commercial stall and is what most lots use.
Truck wheel stops (TB-Series) are built for loading docks, distribution yards, forklift traffic, and equipment areas. A typical 4,500 PSI mix, model-specific reinforcement, anchor details, and up to roughly 1,100 pounds per unit. Send the intended use and plan detail so the project team can confirm the appropriate bumper, anchoring and any crossing restrictions.
Mixed lot with both standard parking and a dock? Tell us the vehicle traffic and we will spec each zone.
- No distributor markup
- You pay the plant price, not a reseller's.
- Specs for your submittal
- Request matching product specifications and CAD/BIM information for your model and project detail.
- Freight planned properly
- These are dense and heavy, and a standard truckload holds only about 42 of the heavy-duty units. We quote freight against your actual jobsite instead of surprising you at delivery.
- One supplier for repeat work
- Contractors ordering 70 to 230 units a season get pricing built for a repeat buyer, not a one-off.
