Wheel Chocks
Dock wheel chocks are wedges of sturdy material placed against a vehicle's wheels to keep them in a fixed position and prevent unwanted accidental movements. Raptor Supplies offers these chocks from brands like Vestil, ZICO, Checkers and Elasco Products. They also restrain car speed on roads and help drivers to prevent slipping & stay in control in dangerous areas while saving personnel & properties. These speed bumps come with handles & warning flags (with selected models) for easy portability & to indicate maintenance requirements, respectively. Some models feature chains or thru-holes for easy attachment of chains to keep the chocks aligned and are available in a variety of materials such as recycled plastic or moulded rubber that are both abrasion and chemical resistant.
Working Mechanism
- Park the vehicle on a flat, stable area, ensuring that its wheels are straight & aligned.
- Position the wheel chocks in front & behind the wheel that requires immobilising. The chocks should be placed at an angle such that its long edge is touching the ground and the short edge is resting against the tire.
- Wheel chocks with chains need to be placed together and the units with a sign can be installed in the empty space near the vehicle.
- Apply pressure to the chocks to wedge them tightly against the wheels and prevent rolling. But, the chocks should not be so tight that they may cause damage to the tire or result in the vehicle tipping over.
- Repeat this process for all the wheels of the vehicle.
- Remove the wheel chocks by simply lifting them off the ground and sliding them out from under the wheels. Users should keep their hands & feet clear of the wheels as the vehicle may start to move when the chocks are removed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are wheel chocks made of?
Wheel chocks are generally made of metal, plastic or rubber. Metal chocks are more durable and damage resistant, but they are heavier and may be difficult to move. Rubber or plastic wheel chocks, on the other hand, are more lightweight & easier to handle while being resistant to damage.
How to choose the right wheel chock for a vehicle?
The size of a wheel chock depends on the size & weight class of the vehicle. Users should select a suitable wheel chock that is large enough to offer proper support & stability but not too large to handle or store. Generally, the chosen wheel chocks should be slightly larger than the width of the wheels / tires.
How to clean & maintain wheel chocks?
Wheel chocks can be cleaned easily by wiping them down using a damp cloth or sponge. Users can use mild detergent or soaps for stubborn dirt or grime, but they should avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals. The wheel chocks should be stored in an easily accessible area for quick use in case of an emergency. The stored location should also be cool, clean & dry to prevent the wheel chock's surface from cracking & fading. Selected wheel chocks may need periodic refinishing or painting for retaining their appearance & durability.
