Product Spotlight: Plastics R Unique 8’ Yellow Plastic Truck Parking Block

In today’s industrial and commercial environments—where trucks, trailers, and service vehicles constantly cycle through busy facilities—having a dependable, highly visible parking solution can make a world of difference.

Purpose-Built for Commercial & Industrial Vehicles

From truck stops to warehouse loading docks, the 8’ Heavy-Duty Plastic Truck Block is sized for optimal alignment with standard commercial truck axles:
  • Dimensions: 96″ (L) x 10″ (W) x 7″ (H)
  • Weight: 89 lbs
This robust size and weight provide reliable stability to handle large trucks and buses, and the block’s bright yellow color enhances visibility—especially important in low-light or crowded conditions. By simplifying correct vehicle positioning, these blocks help reduce collisions, minimize property damage, and enhance overall safety.

Engineered for Performance & Longevity

1. Virtually Indestructible

Made from 100% recycled plastics, these truck blocks are built to withstand extreme conditions—resisting cracks, chips, or breaks that commonly plague concrete stops. Their tough, molded structure ensures a long service life, meaning fewer replacements over time.

2. UV Stabilized & Weather Resistant

Constant sun exposure, temperature fluctuations, rain, and snow can wreak havoc on lower-grade materials. Thanks to high-performance UV stabilizers and weather-resistant composition, these truck blocks maintain their color and structural integrity season after season.

3. Chemical Resistant

Industrial environments often involve oil, gas, solvents, and other potentially corrosive substances. By using durable, chemically inert recycled plastics, these blocks won’t degrade on contact with spills or leaks, ensuring long-term reliability.

Ideal for Smooth, Hassle-Free Installation

Recessed bolt holes allow for simple installation without the risk of protruding hardware that can trip pedestrians or damage vehicle tires. Installation can typically be accomplished with standard tools and anchor hardware, saving both time and effort. Since each block weighs just 89 lbs—relatively light for its size—it can be handled and positioned by a small team, eliminating the need for specialized equipment like forklifts or cranes.

Low Maintenance & Environmentally Responsible

Minimal Upkeep

Unlike concrete stops that can crumble or steel barriers that might rust, these plastic truck blocks require virtually no maintenance. A quick rinse with water or mild detergent is usually all that’s needed to keep them looking clean and professional.

100% Recycled & Toxic-Free

When you choose Plastics R Unique’s blocks, you also support sustainable manufacturing. Each 8’ truck block is made entirely from post-consumer and post-industrial recycled plastics, helping reduce landfill waste and promoting a healthier planet. Plus, they’re free of toxic chemicals, meaning they won’t leach pollutants into the soil or water.

Practical & Efficient Design

  • Integrated Channels: The recessed channels along the block help channel away water and debris, reducing puddles and potential hazards around parking areas.
  • High Visibility: The bold, yellow finish serves as a visual cue for drivers and pedestrians alike, enhancing safety in busy or poorly lit environments.
  • Stands Up to Heavy Loads: Designed specifically for commercial truck widths, these blocks can handle the repeated pressure and weight of large vehicles, day in and day out.
  • Made in the USA: Rely on American craftsmanship and strict quality-control standards for consistent performance over the product’s entire lifespan.

A Secure, Sustainable Investment

Suitable Applications

  • Truck Stops: Provide clear, durable stopping points for 18-wheelers and large buses.
  • Service Centers: Enhance customer and employee safety while adding a polished look to service lanes.
  • Industrial Facilities: Perfect for loading docks, factory lots, and distribution centers where heavy machinery and cargo trucks often move.
  • Municipal & Government Sites: An eco-friendly solution for public works or government fleets, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs.
Plastics R Unique offers a lifetime warranty to back up the toughness of these blocks, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment.
