Park It Parking Curb

The rubber Park-It parking curb is used to effectively guide cars when pulling into a parking stall. It is profiled at 4" high, safeguarding potential damage to today's low, front end car designs. They are more resistant than concrete or plastic curbs.

 
         
     

Features

Unlike concrete or plastic, which necessitate frequent replacements, recycled rubber car stops are safer and more durable. In-molded highway reflective tape (available in yellow or white) ensures visibility and pedestrian safety. The GNR Park-It parking curb is constructed of 100% recycled rubber.

The Park It comes with pre-molded holes and can be shipped with anchoring spikes or lag bolts for installation. They are lightweight (34 lbs. for a 6' car stop) and flexible; conforming to the contour of uneven road surfaces.

Park-It car stops are available in 22", 3', 4', and 6' lengths and are covered by a 3 year warranty.

    Installation Instructions for Concrete Only: Installation of Park It Car Stop with PL Premium Adhesive

    Components

  • Park It car stops
  • PL Premium Adhesive - available at GNR
  •  
    What You Need
    • Gloves, safety glasses
    • Traffic cones, drums or barricades for securing the site
    • Street broom for cleaning the installation area
    • Toluene 
    • Sanding tool (i.e. belt sander)

     Step 1.

    Clean the installation surface (concrete) from dust, water, or grease. The concrete surface must be completely dry.

     Step 2.

    Wash the bottom of the rubber parking curb with toluene until no slippery surface can be detected. Sand down the surface of the rubber in order to remove any residue from the mold release or other contaminants.

     Step 3.

     Step 4.

    Position the parking curb on the designated, clean concrete surface.

     Step 5.

    It is recommended to apply a load on top of the Park It in order to obtain good contact with the PL Premium.

     Step 6.

    Leave the parking curb undisturbed for a minimum of 48 hours.*

    Notes:

    1. Follow the PL Premium recommendation for minimum of 5°C (41°F) temperature of the installation surface.

    *It is necessary to allow a minimum of 48 hours curing time before using the parking spot under normal use. Closing off the area may be required.
