Heavy duty speed bumps

A heavy duty speed bump is a steel-plate reinforced rubber unit built for truck, trailer and forklift traffic. Ours is 2.4 in tall with 13.8 in of travel, rated to 176,000 lb (88 US tons) axle load, and targets ≤ 6 mph — the speed that actually protects dock workers. It bolts into asphalt or concrete in 20 in segments, so a damaged section is replaced individually.

2.4-Inch Heavy-Duty Speed Bump — Steel-Plate Reinforced

Standard rubber bumps flatten under repeated trailer axles. The internal steel plate is what keeps the 2.4 in profile in shape at 176,000 lb.

Built for trailer axles

Steel-plate reinforcement inside a dense recycled-rubber body — no flattening, no creep under repeated loaded-trailer passes.

Forklift and yard-truck safe

The 2.4 in profile with a 13.8 in ramp is low enough for loaded forklifts and yard trucks while still forcing a real speed drop.

Segment-level replacement

20 in segments mean a clipped section is a 10-minute swap, not a full-lane shutdown.

Frequently asked

How much weight can a heavy duty speed bump take?

The 2.4 in steel-plate reinforced unit is rated to 176,000 lb — 88 US tons — which covers loaded semi-trailers, yard trucks and heavy forklifts crossing continuously.

Will a rubber speed bump survive a truck yard?

A standard rubber bump will not; a steel-plate reinforced one will. The internal plate distributes axle load across the body so the profile keeps its shape instead of flattening or tearing at the bolt holes.

What speed should a truck yard target?

≤ 6 mph in dock and yard areas. The 2.4 in heavy-duty profile is tuned to that speed: comfortable at 5 mph, distinctly unpleasant above 10.

How long does installation take?

Bolt-down install takes two people about 30 minutes per 12 ft lane: position the modules, mark the bolt holes, hammer-drill the asphalt or concrete, and torque the anchors flush. No paving contractor and no cure time.

Do you ship nationwide?

Yes. Every kit is in stock in the USA and ships by LTL freight to all 48 contiguous states. Pallet and container pricing is available for volume orders, and freight is quoted to your ZIP code.
