The Highways (Road Humps) Regulations 1996 state you must provide the appropriate warning signs as per the Traffic Signs Regulations on roads where there are speed bumps to ensure safety of road users is maintained. We provide a range of CE-marked and compliant speed bump signs which confirm to European standards and meet the requirements of BS EN 12899-1:2007 Class RA1. The speed bump signs can be wall or post mounted depending on your requirements. They are provided in high colour contracts to ensure visibility. 

Wheel Stops & Parking Blocks 

What is a car stop?

Car stops/wheel stops are used to reduce vehicle damage within areas such as car parks, driveways and industrial units. The parking blocks guide the driver into the space and alert them when they are near to a wall/fence. The wheelstops are secured into place using fixings, we provide fixings which are suitable for tarmac and concrete. They are provided in a variety of colours to increase visibility and to prevent them being seen as a trip hazard.

We have a variety of parking blocks available varying in sizes from 550mm - 20000mm. 

Trench Covers & Road Plates

Trench covers and road plates are used to cover holes in the pavement or road to increase safety. They are often used when building works are occurring. They provide a safe route for pedestrians and vehicles to pass over. Our trench covers and road plates are provided in yellow to ensure high visibility. 

Kerb Ramps

We recommend measuring your kerb to identify the required height as kerb heights can vary. We have a variety of kerb ramps available from 70mm upwards, they are provided in plastic and rubber with capacities up to 15,000kg. 

How do I secure a kerb ramp to the ground? 

We provided fixings for concrete and tarmac with our kerb ramps to allow you to secure these in place.

You will need to secure planning permission to legally drop your own kerb and therefore our kerb ramps are a great solution if you wish to overcome a kerb as they are portable, temporary solutions which can be simply put in place when required. The cost of a kerb ramp is also much cheaper than the cost to drop a kerb.
