Did You Know? Wheel Chock or Wheel Stopper

Wheel chocks or wheel stoppers are vital for preventing unintentional vehicle movement, ensuring secure parking in various settings. 

Widely used in office parking areas, hospitals, shopping centers, and even in residential areas, wheel chocks act as barriers, preventing vehicles from crossing designated parking spaces. This method, known as “Parking Curbs”, involves non-permanent, portable installations.

In logistics, especially for trucks, wheel chocks are indispensable. The truck driver and the company must consistently verify the presence of wheel chocks in the truck. It's imperative for any truck parked at a loading dock or temporary lot to have wheel chocks securely installed. Subsequently, when the driver intends to depart, they should retrieve and safely store the chocks in a dedicated location. This installation approach is non-permanent and portable in nature.

Several types of wheel chocks for trucks are:

1. Wooden wheel chocks, this type is the most commonly used
2. Rubber wheel chocks
3. Steel wheel chocks

Additionally, the positioning of wheel chocks during parking is also crucial for safety to prevent accidents or injuries. It is important to ensure that the wheel chocks are installed in a flat area, stable, and provide adequate space for the vehicle to stay stationary. Pay close attention to the installation process to prevent tipping, ensuring the optimal functionality of the wheel chocks.
