Product code: ESC-VADO
A triangular concrete element that keeps car park entrances clear of parked vehicles.
The Vado protector stops vehicles parked on the street from blocking the way in and out of garages and underground car parks. Its triangular shape follows the direction of vehicles as they manoeuvre, and its low height poses no risk to a car's underside. First installed in 1999, it remains in use today.

Entrances to garages, underground and multi-storey car parks, especially in city centres where cars are often parked right next to the entrance.
Place units on both sides of the entrance so the triangle edges follow the vehicles' entry and exit paths.
