When choosing the right wheel chock for your vehicle or trailer, safety should always be top-of-mind. Think about size, weight capacity, and construction materials to make sure you pick one that is suitable for its purpose.

Our range of wheel chocks ensures that you can find the right chock for your needs, from light vehicles up to Haul Packs on Mine sites.
Safety is always our top priority, protect yourself and your fellow workers by making an informed decision.

Size

Wheel chocks come in different sizes, and the size you choose should match your vehicle’s wheel size. The size of the wheel chock should be appropriate for the size and type of wheel being used. A chock that is too small could result in the wheel slipping or rolling over the chock, while one that is too large to be effective.

Weight Capacity

Make sure that when selecting the right wheel chock for your vehicle or trailer, it is able to support the weight of your vehicle. Especially for larger vehicles, if the chock is too light, it may not securely hold the vehicle. Similarly, a wheel chock that is too heavy can be difficult to move or install. That’s why we offer a range of wheel chocks in both lightweight and super strong options with their unique foam-filled inner core – ensuring each one can handle your specific vehicular weight capacity safely and securely.

Floor Surface

It’s important to consider the surface where you will use your wheel chock when making a selection. Is it firm enough for a chock? Our Chocks are designed to work effectively on concrete, asphalt, and other firm surfaces, so it’s worth taking the time to identify the surface and select an appropriate chock. This ensures your safety and gives you confidence that your vehicle or trailer is securely held in place.
 

Different Types of Wheel Chocks

Tyre-Gripping

Tyre-gripping wheel chocks are some of the most secure options on the market and should be given serious consideration when selecting the right wheel chock for your vehicle or trailer. Tyre-gripping wheel chocks are designed to grip the tyre itself, providing an extra layer of security. These chocks have a rippled surface on all sides to ensure a secure grip.
Our chocks are also designed with a toe, so that the tire pushes down on the front of the chock before engaging with the rest of the chock.
