April 8, 2019, 11:45 am - In the most common vehicle restraints installations the restraint back plate is anchored to the face of the poured concrete foundation. A concrete block or brick foundation is not strong enough to anchor the restraint into position hence the need for the surface mounting box.

With the surface mounting box bolted into position the vehicle restraint is then installed.
