The Highway Code mentions the use of wheel chocks for vehicles with a maximum total mass, fully loaded, exceeding 3.5 t.
In addition, vehicles transporting dangerous goods must have wheel chocks in their standard equipment.
The use of wheel chocks is essential for the safety of operators and for the prevention of accidents during loading and unloading operations.
Their use prevents the involuntary movement of vehicles and the consequences that may arise: collisions, accidents, crushing.
Among the main risks present in loading docks:
- falls from the ramp, tripping or slipping on the ground,
- risk of running over and crushing people during the maneuvers of approaching trucks, due to involuntary movements of the vehicle. The chocks prevent precisely this involuntary movement.
It is important to choose high-quality and certified chocks, such as Lokhen chocks. Our chocks are also able to support the weight of the truck and resist bad weather.
