FAQ – Wheel Chocks
What is the purpose of a wheel chock for a heavy goods vehicle?
A wheel chock immobilizes a stationary vehicle to prevent unintentional movement during loading or unloading operations, particularly in the event of a parking brake failure.
How do I choose the right wheel chock?
The choice depends on several factors: vehicle size, weight to be immobilized, type of ground, and the material of the chock.
Are wheel chocks mandatory?
Yes, for the transport of dangerous goods (ADR), vehicles must be equipped with appropriate immobilization devices, including wheel chocks. Their use is strongly recommended for dock operations.
Who is responsible for providing the wheel chocks?
The responsibility is shared between the parties involved. The carrier equips their vehicle. The dock operator ensures safety during loading and unloading operations.
Are wheel chocks compatible with all trucks?
Yes, they are suitable for industrial vehicles. The choice of model depends on the wheel diameter and the weight of the vehicle.
