Our concrete Car Park Wheel Stops are designed to provide a reliable and durable solution for controlling vehicle parking in commercial, residential, and industrial spaces. Made from reinforced concrete, these wheel stops offer superior longevity and performance compared to plastic versions, which often need replacing after just a few years. Whether for public car parks or private lots, our concrete wheel stops ensure safety and durability for years to come.
Wheel Stop Dimensions and Placement (AS 2890.1)
Off-street car parking in Australia is designed to AS 2890.1. It sets both the size of a wheel stop and how far it sits from the kerb or wall, and the setback changes depending on whether cars park front-in or rear-in.
| Requirement | AS 2890.1:2004 |
|---|---|
| Height | 90 mm to 100 mm |
| Length | 1650 mm, plus or minus 50 mm |
| Setback, front-in parking (low kerb) | 620 mm from the kerb |
| Setback, rear-in parking (low kerb) | 900 mm from the kerb |
| Setback, front-in parking (high kerb or wall) | 820 mm from the kerb or wall |
| Kerb over 150 mm, or a wall | Add a further 200 mm to the setback |
Figures from AS 2890.1:2004. Confirm the current edition and your local council requirements before setting out.
The standard requires wheel stops where they are needed to stop a vehicle encroaching into a pedestrian area or striking a wall or barrier, rather than in every bay. Bundaberg Concrete Casters manufactures to the relevant Australian Standards and casts wheel stops to suit car park requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a standard concrete wheel stop?
AS 2890.1:2004 specifies a wheel stop 90 mm to 100 mm high and 1650 mm long, plus or minus 50 mm. Bundaberg Concrete Casters casts wheel stops to suit car park requirements, so call (07) 4151 5969 to confirm the dimensions you need for your job.
How far from the kerb should a wheel stop be installed?
Under AS 2890.1:2004 the setback is 620 mm from a low kerb for front-in parking, 900 mm from a low kerb for rear-in parking, and 820 mm for front-in parking against a high kerb or wall. Where the kerb is higher than 150 mm, or there is a wall, add a further 200 mm.
Are wheel stops required in every car park bay?
No. AS 2890.1 calls for wheel stops where they are needed to prevent a vehicle encroaching into a pedestrian area or striking a wall or barrier, not as a blanket requirement for every bay. Your car park layout and kerb heights determine where they are needed.
Are concrete wheel stops better than plastic or rubber?
Concrete wheel stops last considerably longer. Plastic and rubber units degrade under UV exposure and heavy traffic and are typically replaced after a few years, while a reinforced concrete wheel stop is a decades-long install. Concrete is also heavier, so it resists being shifted by vehicle impact.
