Do wheel chocks really work?

National Plastics & Rubbers wheel chocks are tough and durable with sizes to cover almost every application, including the largest mining truck.

What is the purpose of wheel chocks?

Wheel chocks, also known as wheel stoppers, tire chocks and wheel blocks, are wedges placed in front and behind of wheels to prevent unwanted and accidental movement of vehicles.

Chocking your wheels ensures that – even if you forgot to put the hand brake on – your vehicle is not going anywhere.  Chocked wheels means wheels can’t roll.

Wheel stoppers find application in a wide range of circumstances, from family car wheel chocks, to heavy mining truck wheel chocks. NPR has a solution designed for every chocking requirement.

Metal wheel chocks, plastic wheel chocks, and rubber chocks have traditionally been used – however, National Plastics & Rubber have developed a lightweight alternative to these.

Our lightweight polyurethane wheel chocks are slip-resistant, durable, and impervious to chemicals and oils. These wheel chocks with handles make a great addition to your family car, or mining truck equipment.
