Speed Bump Installation Guide & Videos

We've compiled a short guide and three videos to describe how to install our speed bump kits. We're confident that installing speed bumps can be quick and straightforward provided you have a suitable surface, drill and a complete kit.

Note: Our recommended universal speed bump fixing that we include in all of our kits is the premium speed bump fixing that allows fixture into tarmac or concrete. One fixing; any installation. We have supplied this in thousands of installations over many years giving you peace of mind.

Requirements

  • An even surface of concrete or tarmac with a minimum substrate depth of 100mm (150mm recommended).
  • A heavy-duty SDS drill.
  • One of our speed bump kits (drill bits, fixings and all other parts required are included).
  • Strongly recommended: Our nut driver which speeds up installation by allowing you to tighten the fixings using an impact driver or drill.

Instructions

  1. Lay out the speed bumps. Lay the speed bumps in their final location. Ensure each lies flat on the surface and in a straight line, joined with the black connectors (two per section).
  2. Mark the fixing holes. Use an 8 to 10mm drill bit to mark where each hole will be drilled. The 10mm drill bit is an optional extra (see Parts & Accessories).
  3. Drill the holes. Move the bumps out of the way and drill each marked hole to approximately 100mm deep with a 16mm drill bit (included, for the plastic plug).
  4. Clean the holes. If you have a hole brush or pump, remove any loose dust and debris.
  5. Insert the plugs. Hammer the nylon plug section of each fixing into each hole.
  6. Fit the bumps. Put each speed bump back into position, aligning with the holes / plugs drilled, then insert the screws.
  7. Tighten the screws. Tighten the screws evenly, working diagonally. They should be firmly tight but do not overtighten.

Tip: Using a nut driver with an electric drill or impact driver can save a lot of time.

Caution: Using a normal-duty impact driver is generally acceptable as long as care is taken and they are not over-torqued. Do not over-torque by continuing to screw in once it is tight or using an industrial or heavy-duty impact driver.

Below is a video showing the installation of the Ridgeback speed bump kit. It is broadly the same as our Premium kit, but negates the need for separate pieces as they are integrated into each bump.
