INSTALLATION GUIDE
Before installing your speed bumps, make sure that the road surface that you will be fitting them onto is clean, dry, and undamaged. Any damage to the surface should be repaired before the speed ramps are installed to provide a reasonably flat and consistent surface.
Lay out your speed bumps in the area you want to install them to make sure that they fit comfortably in your available space and that they lie flat on the surface. Mark out on the substrate surface where the road humps are to be drilled and fitted. Then either drill the holes in the substrate through the bumps’ pre-made fixing holes, or remove the ramps after marking the position of the drill holes, and drill the holes independently of the speed bumps. We strongly suggest you drill a couple of test holes first to ensure the drill bit is of the correct size for the material you are drilling into. Finally, insert the fixings into the hole, and secure your speed bumps in place.
IMPORTANT - Positioning of your speed bumps:
- To maximise the life of your speed bumps, vehicles should drive over the product in a straight line. Vehicles turning on the speed bump may damage the speed bump and fixings and will likely cause excessive discomfort to the driver and passengers.
- Speed bumps should be set back from junctions to reduce the chance of vehicles stalling when pulling away. For more information on speed hump regulations visit gov.uk.
It is recommended that speed bump signs are installed alongside speed bumps to alert road users. The Ramp Factory offer a range of speed bump signs, including wall mounted and post mounted solutions.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
The security of the fixings / adhesive should be checked on a regular basis. Circumstances will vary, based upon the volume of foot traffic etc., but as a guide, monthly inspections would be advisable.
