Wheel Chocks

What are Wheel Chocks?

Wheel chocks are wedge-shaped blocks placed against a vehicle’s wheels to prevent rolling. Typically made from durable materials such as rubber, polyurethane, or heavy-duty plastic, they provide high friction and stability to hold vehicles in place on flat or inclined surfaces. For traffic control and physical vehicle barriers, view our Barriers and Bollards section.

Available in a variety of sizes, wheel chocks can accommodate cars, trucks, forklifts, trailers, and industrial equipment. Many models feature handles for easy placement and removal, reflective strips for visibility, and interlocking designs for added security. For managing traffic flow in a car park, explore our Rubber Wheel Stops.

Benefits of Wheel Chocks

Wheel chocks offer multiple advantages for workplace safety, vehicle protection, and operational efficiency:

• Critical Movement Prevention – They reliably secure vehicles during loading, unloading, maintenance, or parking, preventing accidental movement that can cause serious injury or property damage.

• Enhanced Safety & Compliance – They create a physical, high-visibility barrier that reduces the risk of accidents, essential for meeting strict WHS compliance requirements across many Australian industries.

• Durable & Long-Term Reliability – Made from high-quality, industrial-grade materials to withstand heavy loads and harsh conditions, ensuring consistent performance over years of use and minimizing replacement costs.

• Versatile & Convenient Use – Suitable for a comprehensive range of vehicles (cars, trucks, forklifts, trailers) and are lightweight and portable, allowing for quick, easy storage, transport, and deployment wherever needed.

• High Visibility – Many chocks feature bright colours or reflective strips for added safety and quick identification in low-light or busy operational environments. For temporary demarcation, we recommend Retractable Tape Barriers.

By providing a secure barrier against unintended vehicle movement, wheel chocks play a crucial role in maintaining workplace safety and protecting valuable assets.

Why Invest in Wheel Chocks?

For any operation involving stationary vehicles, even a minor roll-away incident at a loading dock or on a slight incline can lead to severe injury, asset write-offs, and mandatory operational shutdowns. Investing in high-quality Wheel Chocks is a non-negotiable component of a robust safety management system that ensures WHS compliance.

They provide a cost-effective and highly reliable solution that actively mitigates financial risk by preventing collisions and the subsequent costs of repairs, lost inventory, and downtime. This simple, durable safety item offers peace of mind, proving your commitment to personnel safety and operational continuity. In vehicle areas, Safety Bollards provide fixed protection.

Industries and Applications

Wheel chocks are widely used across industries where vehicles or equipment need to remain stationary during operation or maintenance. Common applications include:

• Warehousing and Logistics – Securing trucks, trailers, and forklifts during loading and unloading. For rack protection, view our Pallet Racking Guards.

• Construction Sites – Preventing vehicles and heavy equipment from rolling on uneven or inclined surfaces.

• Transport and Distribution – Ensuring trailers and delivery trucks remain stationary during goods handling.

• Mining and Industrial Operations – Securing heavy machinery and mobile equipment in demanding environments. For pedestrian pathways, consider Pedestrian Barriers.

• Airports and Aviation – Keeping aircraft, tugs, and service vehicles stationary on ramps and aprons.

In all these environments, wheel chocks help prevent costly accidents, protect equipment, and safeguard personnel. For temporary site management, we also offer Expandable Barriers.
