Wheel chocks secure vehicles of all sizes using wedge-shaped blocks designed to prevent rolling or accidental movement. In Australia, wheel chocks are used to secure everything from caravans to cars and even trucks. Enforcer Group stocks wheel chocks that are designed for Australian conditions, which means both our rubber and plastic chocks will stand the test of time.
While the primary function of wheel chocks is to prevent vehicles or other equipment from rolling or moving, they are also a key part of safety and regulatory requirements. All unattended trucks or trailers, either being loaded or unloaded, need to be secured with wheel chocks (or other means) to prevent movement. It's important to note any damaged or worn wheel chocks should be replaced immediately as they lose their efficacy.
