You have faced the problem of parking a car in parking lots. You must spend much time parking the vehicle well and in the designated place. The concern of not hitting the wall and column of the parking lot or other cars also adds to this problem and sometimes damages the car or the wall of the parking lot. If the parking lot is dimly lit or needs more space, these problems will double. Nowadays, to solve this problem, car stoppers are used in parking lots to create a specific area for parking cars.
Car stopper
The car stopper is a product installed at the end of the car parking area and quickly shows the parking limits of the car. This product prevents the vehicle from hitting the wall or the opposite car and prevents them from being damaged. By installing the Stopper, problems such as stopping the car in another person’s parking space, occupying two parking spaces simultaneously, or parking the car in front of the designated area are avoided. The car stopper is measured according to the standard parking space and is installed according to the car’s axis concerning the parking space. Also, the distance from the end of the parking space is measured between 90 and 110 cm. This range creates an area behind the car for commuting and opens the trunk door.
Types of parking stops
As you know, different raw materials are used to make these stoppers, primarily in three different types: concrete, recyclable plastic and recyclable rubber. Most of these stoppers are used in garages, schools, parking lots of office and commercial buildings, and parking lots and high-traffic areas. In most cases, the main feature for choosing a stopper is the reasonable and cheap cost, but in some cases, other features, such as longevity, durability, ease of installation, compatibility with the environment, etc., may be considered by the buyer.
Concrete Stopper
The lifespan of a concrete parking stopper depends to some extent on where it is installed. This means that if it is installed in the interior of a building, such as a garage or parking lot, its durability will be maximized, But if it is in direct contact with environmental elements, it will wear more and wear out sooner. The use of this stopper model is rarely seen, and we do not recommend it because it is not to people’s taste in terms of beauty, application and stoneness.
Plastic Stopper
Plastic stoppers are suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, but it should be noted that they may melt if exposed to extreme heat, as they are made of plastic. In general, the plastic stopper has high durability and requires less maintenance.
Rubber stopper
The rubber stopper can be used both outdoors and indoors without any problems. It is interesting that this type of Stopper is highly resistant to UV light, moisture, oil, and high temperature and is more durable than the other two types of parking stoppers. In addition, it requires less effort to maintain. If we want to briefly compare the durability of these three types of stoppers in one sentence, the recyclable rubber stopper has the most extended durability. After that, the plastic stopper lasts well; finally, the concrete Stopper can be mentioned.
The compatibility of all types of parking stoppers with the environment
Concrete stoppers neither harm the environment nor help to preserve it. As it is clear from the name of the recycled plastic stopper, this type of Stopper is made of 100% recycled materials. The plastics transported to the industrial waste recycling site after consumption make these stoppers. With this method, they remove a large amount of plastics from the environment.
Recycled rubber stoppers are also environmentally friendly because they are made from 100% recycled rubber. These stoppers help reduce the amount of waste tires accumulate in the environment. If you are one of those people who care about the environment, recycled rubber stoppers and recycled plastic stoppers not only do not harm the environment but also help preserve it and are considered a good option. Concrete stoppers can also be placed in the last row.
What are the advantages of a car stopper?
The car stopper provides the possibility to park the car in the parking lot in the best and most convenient way at any time. Recycled waste is used in producing rubber and plastic stoppers, which reduces the amount of plastic and rubber in the environment. Other benefits of Stopper include the following:
1) Suitable for any weather conditions
2) Can be installed on concrete, asphalt and stone
3) bearing capacity of 50 tons and suitable for any car
4) Visible from any distance due to the presence of the night-coloured layer
5) The beauty and arrangement of the parking lot
Installation of parking stop
As you know, concrete stoppers are very heavy. Therefore, several people, special machines, bolts and metal protective covers are needed to install it. Installing the plastic stopper is relatively easy. All you need to install it is just a few screws. Installing rubber stoppers is also easy. So that only one person can easily install it. Therefore, the best Stopper for installation is primarily rubber, plastic, and concrete stoppers.
