Wheel Chocks

Wheel Chocks

Wheel chocks are the best way to ensure that stationary vehicles that are parked and being loaded stay put. This is especially the case for large mining vehicles that have complex handbrake systems and carry huge loads of aggregates. Wheel chocks offer a safe and secure method of holding a vehicle in position without the need for complication. They come in a range of sizes and are made from durable plastics, making them lightweight and easy to put into place.

    Wheel chocks serve one key purpose, to keep any size of vehicle in place when parked, being worked on or not in use. They come in all sizes and for use with everything from small domestic cars all the way through to large HGVs and even mining equipment.

    The crucial thing when purchasing wheel chocks is ensuring that you get the correct size, quantity and of course how to install them correctly.

    A world leading manufacturer makes our range of wheel chocks, they are solid and will stand up to many years of use.

    Important factors to consider when buying wheel chocks

    • How heavy is the vehicle you are chocking
    • How large are its wheels and tyres
    • Will you be chocking the vehicle on an incline
    • What surface are you chocking the vehicle on

    Weight

    The weight of the vehicle being chocked will need to be the gross weight, that would include any load and fuel, etc.

    How To Measure Tyre Size For Wheel Chock

    Tyre Size

    Tyre size needs to be measured as the diameter (from one side of the wheel to the other). This will ensure the wheel chock fits the radius of the tyre and is not too small.

    Vehicle Chocked On a Gradient

    Gradient

    The incline you are chocking the vehicle on will have an effect on how many chocks you need; level surfaces need the wheels chocking either side. Where as inclines generally only need one side to be chocked.

    Surface

    The surface is less of an issue in the UK, but for countries where the ground is frozen for long periods, ice studs may be required for the chocks. Gravel and other loose materials will also affect the chock required.

    Proper Chocking of tyres

    All wheel chocks should be placed in the centre of the tyre tread, not to the edges. By placing wheel chocks at the centre of the tyre, it is far harder for the vehicle to push the chock aside.

    Any external forces applied to the vehicle should be taken into consideration. You may be loading the vehicle on an uphill gradient with chocks behind the wheels, but what if a forklift is likely to push the vehicle uphill. You will need chocks to counteract that force ensuring the vehicle does not move away from the loader.

    Using Wheel Chocks on Gradients

    When chocking a vehicle, it is imperative that the gradient is taken into consideration. The gradient will have an effect on how many chocks are required to chock the vehicle safely.

    Wheel Chocks Being Used On a Car Facing Downhill

    Facing Downhill

    In this instance, you will need to place the chocks in front of the front tyres on the downhill side.

    Wheel Chocks on a vehicle facing uphill

    Facing Uphill

    When the vehicle is facing uphill, you will need to put the wheel chocks on the downhill side again, behind the rear tyres.

    Chocking a vehicle on a level surface

    On a level surface

    Wheel chocks should be placed either side of wheels when you are on the level or if you are unsure of the gradient. This will prevent the vehicle from moving in either direction.

    Long Lasting and durable materials

    The material our wheel chocks are made from makes them highly durable and resistant to contamination from fuel, oils, lubricants and other solvents. They will outlast wooden, aluminium and other materials.
