Parking Lot Striping SLC provides expert installation of wheel stops, bollards, and parking safety barriers throughout Salt Lake County. These physical safety devices protect your property, prevent vehicle damage, and clearly define parking boundaries. Whether you're installing new equipment or replacing worn-out bumpers and damaged bollards, our professional installation ensures long-lasting performance and maximum protection.
From concrete wheel stops that prevent cars from damaging landscaping to steel bollards that protect building entrances from vehicle impacts, we offer comprehensive parking safety solutions for commercial properties of all types.
Physical safety barriers provide protection that pavement markings alone cannot deliver:
Prevent vehicle damage to buildings, walls, windows, landscaping, utilities, and expensive equipment. Wheel stops and bollards pay for themselves by avoiding repair costs.
Bollards create physical barriers between vehicles and pedestrian areas, protecting walkways, outdoor seating, and building entrances from vehicle encroachment.
Proper safety equipment demonstrates reasonable care and can reduce liability if accidents occur. Clear boundaries help prevent disputes about parking space definitions.
Bollards and barriers guide traffic patterns, prevent unauthorized access, and clearly define parking vs. non-parking areas, reducing confusion and improving lot organization.
Concrete wheel stops are the most common and durable parking lot safety device. Our professional installation process ensures they stay in place for years:
Standard Size: 6 feet long x 6 inches tall x 8 inches wide
Weight: 200-250 lbs (prevents shifting)
Material: Reinforced precast concrete with steel rebar
Color: Natural gray or yellow (high-visibility option)
Anchoring: Two 5/8" diameter anchor bolts per wheel stop
Drilling: 3-4 inch deep holes into asphalt or concrete
Adhesive: Epoxy adhesive for maximum hold
Curing: 24-hour cure time before vehicle use
Distance from Curb: 2-3 feet from curb or obstruction
ADA Compliance: Must not obstruct accessible routes
Alignment: Perpendicular to parking space
Coverage: One 6-foot stop per 9-foot parking space
Ideal For: End-of-row parking, spaces adjacent to landscaping, building protection, curb protection
Best Applications: 90-degree parking, head-in parking, areas where overhang is concern
Rubber wheel stops offer an eco-friendly, flexible alternative to concrete. Benefits include:
Best For: Temporary installations, areas with snowplows, landscaping protection where relocation may be needed, eco-conscious properties
Bollards provide robust protection against vehicle impacts. We install various bollard types for different applications:
Construction: 4-8 inch diameter steel pipe filled with concrete. Installation: Embedded 36 inches deep in concrete foundation. Protection Level: Highest—prevents vehicle breakthroughs. Applications: Building protection, storefront barriers, utility protection, ADA ramp protection.
Design: Bollard inserts into permanent ground sleeve. Access: Can be removed for temporary vehicle access. Locking: Keyed locks prevent unauthorized removal. Applications: Emergency access lanes, seasonal access control, loading zones requiring flexible access.
Style: Attractive finished appearance in various designs. Materials: Steel, aluminum, or composite with powder-coat finishes. Protection: Light to medium vehicle impact resistance. Applications: Retail entrances, outdoor dining areas, pedestrian zones, aesthetic property boundaries.
Material: High-impact polymer or rubber. Function: Deflects on impact and returns to upright position. Visibility: Bright colors with reflective tape. Applications: Traffic channelization, visual guidance, areas where rigid bollards may cause vehicle damage.
Professional installation is critical for safety equipment effectiveness and longevity:
We evaluate your property to identify protection needs, measure parking spaces, and recommend optimal equipment placement for maximum effectiveness.
Precise marking of wheel stop and bollard locations using measurements, chalk lines, and templates to ensure proper alignment and spacing.
Professional core drilling for bollards and anchor holes for wheel stops. Holes are cleaned and prepped for adhesives or concrete fill.
Wheel stops are anchored with epoxy and bolts. Bollards are set in concrete footings or ground sleeves. All equipment is leveled and aligned properly.
Adhesives and concrete cure per manufacturer specifications (typically 24-48 hours). Final inspection ensures secure installation and proper alignment.
Control vehicle speed in parking lots and private drives with professional speed bump installation:
Recommended Locations: Near school zones, playground areas, residential complexes, hospital parking, anywhere pedestrian safety is priority.
Existing safety equipment requires occasional maintenance and replacement:
Cracked, broken, or loose wheel stops create hazards and look unprofessional. We remove damaged units and install new stops with proper anchoring.
Damaged bollards can be straightened (if minor), replaced if severely damaged, and repainted to restore appearance and visibility.
Wheel stops can work loose over time. We re-drill, use fresh epoxy, and install new anchor bolts to secure equipment properly.
When parking layouts change, we remove old equipment and install new stops and bollards per updated plans.
Proper placement of safety equipment is critical for accessibility compliance:
Combine equipment installation with striping services for comprehensive parking lot improvements:
Wheel stops, bollards, complete parking striping, ADA markings, and fire lanes for move-in ready parking lots.
Replace old wheel stops, repair bollards, pressure wash, re-stripe entire lot for complete appearance restoration.
Add missing wheel stops and bollards, install speed bumps, refresh striping, and add safety signage.
Annual inspection and repair of safety equipment with scheduled striping maintenance for worry-free property management.
