Garage Parking Block Is So 21st Century

Today’s garage car bumpers are definitely 21st century. They can be bought on the internet and shipped long distances because they do not weigh a ton like their cement predecessors. Anyone who has ever stubbed their toe on cement garage floor bumpers knows that those 20th century creations are unforgiving. Just ask any driver whose foot slipped and he backed into the cement block that was meant to protect them. Bump into the cement block or, worse, drive over it and the vehicle suffers damage to its bumper or undercarriage and more!

Today’s garage car bumpers are made of recycled matetials. That’s right. Recycled. Green! Some are even LEED certified. All are far better than cement which uses raw materials.

Rubber garage floor bumpers are easy on the car that backs into them, bumps into them or drives over them. They are soft and forgiving but they are also durable and long lasting. Their bright white or yellow markings contrast starkly with their standard black, handicapped blue or elegant terracotta brown. Drivers are much more likely to see them in dim lots or dark garages. Their reflective markings are made to be seen and made to last. Each garage floor tire stopper can keep 3.4 tires or more out of the landfill. They come in 3 foot, four foot and six foot sizes.

Rubber car bumpers are lightweight and easy to carry. Without the need for heavy machinery, less workers are required, which saves money both on machinery and manpower. There are three types of hardware choices. For more information on installation, contact the Traffic Safety Store. It can help with decision making about sizes, styles and hardware for rubber car bumpers.

There is also a rubber garage floor tire stopper for home use. It does not require hardware or special installation because it is made extra wide for stability. It is 22 inches high and is black with yellow reflective markings.

When made out of plastic, the garage floor tire stopper comes in white, bright white, yellow, bright yellow, handicapped blue, gray and sometimes black. It’s colors are infused during the manufacturing process so they won’t fade or chip off over time. Lot and garage managers love knowing that they will never have to paint wheel stops again. They will still have the uniform, attractive look of a great paint job.

Plastic garage car bumpers keep 100 or more milk jugs out of landfills. They come in 4 foot, six foot and eight foot sizes (for heavy duty trucks). They come in commercial grade (LEED certified), industrial grade, and economy grade. The lightest ones weigh only 18 pounds. All plastic garage garage floor bumpers treat cars gently in the event of a mistake. They are scuff resistant to keep their good looks as long as possible
