Distribution centers & fleet yards

Truck yard and distribution center speed bumps

Distribution centers typically control speed at three points: the gate, the yard entry and each pedestrian crossing between the office and the docks. Heavy-duty 2.4 in rubber bumps rated for 176,000 lb handle tractor-trailers at those points for $360–$660 per 12 ft lane. On long yard roads, spacing of roughly 150–250 ft keeps speed from building between units.

Frequently asked

How many speed bumps does a distribution center need?

Count control points: gate, yard entry and each pedestrian crossing, plus one every 150–250 ft on long yard roads. Send us a site sketch and we will count lanes for the quote.

Do speed bumps slow down yard trucks too?

Yes; yard tractors cross the heavy-duty profile at low speed without issue.

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.
