Asset and Carpark Protection Products

CivilSafe supplies asset and carpark protection products for shopping centres, warehouses, depots and civil sites, including bollards, wheel stops, speed humps, height bars, mirrors, corner guards and line marking. Each product is listed with dimensions, fixing detail and application guidance so you can specify the right item. Prices include GST, same-day dispatch, and tracked delivery nationwide.


Car Park Bollards and Impact Protection

Car park bollards are the first line of defence for anything a vehicle can reach. They protect columns, roller doors, service risers, fire equipment, plant, ticket machines and pedestrian corners. Fixed bollards physically stop a vehicle, so they suit high consequence assets. Flexible bollards deflect and return, so they suit locations where contact is frequent and low impact, like the inside of a turn or the corner beside a bin bay. Either way, the fixing decides whether the bollard works: a surface-mounted unit needs sound concrete of adequate depth, and heavy vehicle traffic should be assessed before anyone drills. For the rest of the site protection scope, the Civil and Construction Safety Products Australia catalogue covers barriers, signage and traffic control alongside impact protection.

Wheel Stops for Car Parks and Loading Areas

Wheel stops control where a vehicle stops. They are not impact barriers, and using them as one is why they get pulled out of the ground. A wheel stop holds the vehicle short of a wall, dock, walkway, garden bed or service pit, and in a car park it keeps vehicle overhang out of the aisle behind the bay. Concrete wheel stops suit long term installations where they will not be moved. Rubber and recycled plastic wheel stops are lighter, easier on tyres and simpler to reposition. Set out from the bay depth and what sits behind it, so measure before you fix anything.

Speed Humps and Vehicle Speed Control

Speed humps slow traffic through shared areas, which is the point: they reduce the speed at which a mistake happens. They suit car parks, depots, warehouse aprons, school zones, caravan parks and internal roads where pedestrians and vehicles mix. The profile sets the speed the hump enforces. A low profile will not slow a loaded truck much, and a harsh profile will slow everything but annoy everyone using the site. Check what crosses the hump: forklifts, delivery vehicles and trailers behave differently, and some will ground on a hump a car clears easily. Mark it and warn drivers before they reach it.

Height Bars, Convex Mirrors and Corner Guards

Height bars, convex mirrors and corner guards solve the three problems bollards cannot. A height bar warns a driver about restricted headroom before they reach the obstruction, which protects the structure, the load and the vehicle. Convex mirrors open up blind corners, tight exits, dock approaches and aisle junctions where a driver cannot see what is coming. Corner guards protect the leading edge of walls and columns in car parks and warehouses, where render and paint take a beating from trolleys, pallets and car doors. All three cost less than the repair they prevent.

Protecting Assets in Car Parks, Warehouses and Depots

An asset protection plan starts with a walk around the site, not with a catalogue. Mark where vehicles predictably make contact: the inside of a turn, the end column of a row, the wall behind a loading dock, the low clearance at the entry, the corner near the bin bay. For each spot, note what is being protected, what is hitting it, and how much room exists to install anything. Then choose by consequence. A high consequence asset gets a fixed barrier, a frequent low impact knock gets a flexible one, and a sight line problem gets a mirror rather than another bollard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is asset protection in a car park?

It is the physical products that stop vehicles contacting the things you cannot easily replace: columns, walls, doors, dock equipment, plant, services and pedestrians. Bollards, wheel stops, speed humps, height bars, mirrors and corner guards all sit in this category. The aim is to absorb or prevent impact before damage occurs.

How do I choose between fixed and flexible bollards?

Flexible bollards suit high-hit, low-consequence locations because they deflect and return, so the site keeps working without maintenance. Fixed steel bollards suit locations where a vehicle must be physically stopped from reaching a high-consequence asset. Consider impact energy, the vehicle type, available space and whether the bollard can be replaced quickly.

How many wheel stops does a car space need?

Usually one per bay, positioned to stop the vehicle before its nose or tail contacts the obstruction behind. The correct position depends on the bay depth, the obstruction location and the vehicle dimensions the bay is designed for. Placing them too far back wastes bay length; placing them too close allows contact.

What height should a height restriction bar be?

The bar is set to the actual available clearance at the obstruction, not to a nominal figure, and should be positioned before the obstruction so a driver has time to stop or divert. Confirm the real clearance by measurement, including any services or signage below the structure. The impact bar itself should hang clear of the marked height.

Where should speed humps be installed?

Speed humps suit car parks, depots, warehouse aprons, internal roads, school zones and caravan parks, anywhere vehicles and pedestrians share space. Place them where speeds build up, before a crossing point or entry, and where a driver can see the hump in time to slow down. Mark the hump and sign it, or it becomes a trip hazard and a complaint.

Can these products be fixed to concrete and asphalt?

Yes, with the correct anchors for the substrate and load. Concrete takes mechanical anchors well provided it is sound and thick enough. Asphalt is softer and more prone to creep under impact, so fixings may need to be longer, spread wider or replaced with a cast-in or plate-mounted solution. Confirm the substrate before ordering fixings.

Do you supply line marking products?

Yes. Line marking for bays, lanes, hatched exclusion zones and directional arrows is part of the range. Selection depends on the surface, the traffic and whether the marking is permanent or temporary. Marking is usually the cheapest form of protection available, so combine it with physical products rather than relying on paint alone.

What is the difference between concrete and rubber wheel stops?

Concrete wheel stops are heavy, stable and suited to permanent bays where they will not be moved. Rubber and recycled plastic wheel stops are lighter, easier to install and kinder to tyres, which makes them practical where the layout may change or where vehicles may hit them. Both hold a vehicle short of an obstruction, so the choice is about permanence and handling.

Can protection be installed in a live car park?

Generally yes, if it is staged. Most surface-mounted products are installed in sections so bays and aisles stay open, and fixings can be completed outside peak times. Products requiring excavation or new concrete need a longer closure. Plan the sequence so a protected route for pedestrians and vehicles is maintained throughout.

Do you deliver protection products Australia-wide?

Yes. Delivery is available nationwide with tracking to any site address, or you can collect from Bankstown. Longer items such as speed humps and fencing panels may affect freight options, so confirm at the time of ordering. Same-day dispatch applies to orders placed before the daily cut-off.
