Overview
Wheel chocks are a low cost, effective way of preventing the unexpected movement of vehicles whilst either parked or being loaded and unloaded. Thorworld offer a range of wheel chocks to suit your application.
Our HGV wheel chocks help reduce the risk of vehicles leaving loading docks. The same HGV wheel chocks can also prevent parked trailers moving in the event of brake failure.
For added safety, our wheel chocks with handles involve less bending / manual handling, so simply the operation, whilst providing clear indications to operators that wheel chocks are in place.
Our wheel chock with switch is intended to be interlocked to loading docks, or traffic lights, providing an indication to operators if vehicles leave the parked position, or if chocks are removed.
