Easy Rider Speed Bump

The Easy Rider® rubber speed bump reduces vehicle speeds making parking lots safer for pedestrians and motorists. Constructed from 100% recycled tires, GNR speed bumps are preformed to implement immediate installation. The Easy Rider's flexible design conforms to the contour of virtually any road surface.

 
         

Features

Molded highly reflective tape ensures that the speed bumps are visible even on a dark night. Optional cat's eye reflectors further enhance visibility to alert drivers well in advance. The bumps have a channeled bottom to facilitate drainage as well as to cover cabling or piping.

Easy Rider® speed bumps are the ideal maintenance-free parking lot solution. In addition to enhancing parking lot safety, the bumps can lower insurance premiums for lot owners.

The Easy Rider® is available in 4' and 6' lengths including end caps to protect the speed bump ends and vehicles. GNR rubber speed bumps are covered by a 3 year warranty.

    Installation Instructions for Concrete or Asphalt: Installation of Easy Rider® Speed Bumps with PL Premium Adhesive

    Components

  • Easy Rider® speed bumps
  • PL Premium Adhesive - available at GNR
  •  
    What You Need
    • Gloves, safety glasses
    • Traffic cones, drums or barricades for securing the site
    • Street broom for cleaning the installation area
    • Toluene 
    • Sanding tool (i.e. belt sander)

     Step 1.

    Clean the installation surface (concrete) from dust, water, or grease. The concrete surface must be completely dry.

     Step 2.

    Wash the bottom of the rubber speed bump with toluene until no slippery surface can be detected. Sand down the surface of the rubber in order to remove any residue from the mold release or other contaminants.

     Step 3.

    Apply six (6) beads about 3/8" wide of the PL Premium adhesive on the cleaned bottom surface of the speed bump (two full 300 ml tubes of PL Premium should be used per 6' speed bump).      EasyRiderSpeedBump_Installation3.gif

     Step 4.

    Position the speed bump on the designated, clean concrete surface.

     Step 5.

    Step and walk on the top of the speed bump to press it down and esnure the speed bump adheres to the concrete surface.

     Step 6.

    Leave the speed bump undisturbed for 12 – 24 hrs.*

    Notes:

    1. Follow the PL Premium recommendation for minimum of 5°C (41°F) temperature of the installation surface.
    2. For installation of the speed bump end cap, use about 1/3 of the 300 ml tube of PL Premium and follow the same installation procedure as for the speed bump.

    *It is necessary to leave the speed bump undisturbed for at least 12 hours. Closing off the area may be required.
