Wheel Chock is a device used to prevent a parked vehicle from accidentally moving or sliding. It is usually made of durable materials such as rubber, plastic or metal and is strong and durable, able to withstand the heavy pressure of the vehicle and use in various environmental conditions.
The main function of the Wheel Chock is to be placed under the wheels when the vehicle is parked to prevent the vehicle from sliding or moving on its own. They are usually used for vehicles that need to be parked for a long time, such as trucks, trailers, ships, aircraft and construction machinery, etc. to ensure safe and stable parking. Wheel Chock forms a solid block under the wheels to prevent the vehicle from sliding or moving uncontrolled, thereby reducing the occurrence of accidents.
Wheel Chocks are generally designed with ease of use and installation in mind. They are usually wedge-shaped, with one end higher and the other lower, allowing them to fit easily into the bottom of the wheel and provide blocking power. Some Wheel Chocks also come with convenient handles or ropes so users can easily move or remove them.
In addition to being used in parking lots and parking spaces, Wheel Chock is also widely used in some special work scenarios. For example, ships use Wheel Chock to prevent drifting when berthing in ports; aircraft also need Wheel Chock to ensure safe docking when ground maintenance or parking on the tarmac.
