In ancient times, the so-called “Ju Ma” (horse-repelling device) was a large, movable roadblock used in warfare to set up defenses. It consisted of many crisscrossed wooden stakes fixed together around a defensive base, with knives or spikes tied to the ends of the wooden poles. Its purpose was to block the advance of enemy cavalry and weaken their attack. “Ju” means to resist, and because this defensive arrangement was related to horses (“Ma”), people called this object “Ju Ma.”
Today, we can also see U-shaped or I-shaped vehicle barriers, which resemble the ancient “Ju Ma,” locked in front of and behind parking spaces, or see “Ju Ma” with “No Parking” signs posted around department stores. Mobile “Ju Ma” fences with wheels can also be seen in alleys or in front of factories.
In recent years, customers frequently call to inquire about custom-making U-shaped, I-shaped, or double U-shaped vehicle barriers to meet their specific needs.
U-shaped and I-shaped vehicle barriers are divided into mobile and fixed types: Mobile barriers are often used in parking lots, placed in front of and behind a parking spot. When a car is not in the spot, the barrier can be inserted into a hole in the ground and locked, preventing other cars from parking in your spot. Fixed barriers are installed in multiple units around open spaces of buildings or sidewalks to block vehicles from entering and ensure pedestrian safety.
Double U-shaped barriers also come in mobile and fixed types. They are typically used by businesses to prevent motorcycles from parking too densely, reserving a passage for pedestrians to pass smoothly under arcades or along the roadside.
In addition to vehicle barriers, an increasing number of customers wish to customize stainless steel “Ju Ma.” The text on the “Ju Ma” is no longer limited to “No Parking.” Both “Ju Ma” and vehicle barriers can be printed with text or patterns using cutting or screen printing methods, according to the customer’s requirements.
Customized stainless steel “Ju Ma” and vehicle barriers make the original “No Parking” signs no longer just coldly standing around a building but appear as warm and lovely decorations alongside the busy roads.
