Designed for operational safety and precise bay alignment, HERMEQ’s cranked wheel guides provide directional assistance for reversing HGVs in tight warehouse spaces. Each pair includes a left and right 15° crank, ensuring vehicles are guided smoothly into docking positions. The angled profile enhances control during final approach, minimising the risk of structural impact or tyre scuffing on fixed assets.
Manufactured from heavy-duty galvanised steel, these wheel guide units deliver corrosion resistance and durability in all-season use. The bolt-down system enables secure installation to concrete, ensuring permanent bay layout stability. Their 1.8m length accommodates wide vehicles and trailer formats, supporting consistent manoeuvring across large fleet operations.
- Cranked Shape for Bay Entry – 15° angle facilitates accurate alignment when reversing vehicles.
- High-Strength Galvanised Steel – Built for long-term use in industrial, logistics and depot environments.
- Simple Fixing Method – Each guide includes square baseplates and is secured with 8 x 18mm bolts.
- Damage Prevention – Reduces risk of vehicle collision with racking or walls during loading.
- Sold in Matched Pairs – Supplied as left-hand and right-hand cranks for complete bay coverage.
HERMEQ’s wheel guides are suitable for busy HGV sites where driver precision and asset protection are critical. Their cranked form redirects vehicle motion toward the centreline of the bay, ensuring repeatable entry angles regardless of driver or vehicle type. With larger diameter options—139mm and 168mm—fleet managers can choose the format that best suits their loading profiles. The compact 320mm height offers protection without obstructing under-run bars or sensors.
Install them in conjunction with wheel stops or visual indicators to enhance operational efficiency. Combined with HERMEQ’s Street Furniture range or Bike Racks, they support safe, structured logistics environments. Designed with UK warehousing in mind, these wheel guide pairs keep site operations flowing.

Use Cases for Cranked Wheel Guides:
- Warehouse loading bay approach
- Fleet distribution depot alignment
- Logistics centres with narrow docking corridors
- Heavy goods vehicle processing stations
HERMEQ’s cranked wheel guide pairs improve visibility and directionality for drivers backing into constrained access areas. The curved profile allows better centreline control, especially on sites where straight guides may offer limited visual reference.
Each guide includes a square mounting plate and is fabricated from industrial-grade galvanised steel. Their fixed positioning ensures consistent bay configuration, supporting operational uniformity across multi-bay layouts. These guides are especially valuable in wet or dark environments where external mirrors may be impaired.
When used alongside Outdoor Seating or Litter Bins, they contribute to well-zoned facilities with clear vehicle/pedestrian boundaries. Their impact-resistant design reduces repair costs linked to site infrastructure damage from reversing errors.
