Wheel chocks for your car

A wheel chock is used when a vehicle is stopped on a sharp incline and allows to immobilize it. Particularly, it is a must-have accessory for parking with a broken handbrake or replacing a punctured tyre.

Types of wheel chocks

The accessories are made of various materials, such as:

• Plastics. Such accessories are inexpensive, but are, however, rather fragile and non-durable. They are not suitable for large vehicles.
• Rubber. These accessories are resistant to deformation, that is why they can effectively prevent even heavy vehicles or loaded trailers from rolling.
• Metal. These are the most durable products in our catalogue. Actually, their only disadvantage is a high probability of corrosive damage.

According to construction features, there are two types of wheel chocks:

• solid;
• folding.

Operation tips

Place the product under the drive axle of the vehicle. If you have a large car, it is recommended to use two wheel chocks at the same time. Herewith, the bigger the tyre diameter is, the wider the accessories should be. Many manufacturers specify their maximum load. As a rule, this value equals half of the gross vehicle weight. If you need to replace a punctured tyre, then set the chock diagonally to it.
