When it comes to industrial safety, the smallest tools often make the biggest difference, and wheel chocks are a perfect example. Whether you're securing heavy trucks at a mining site or stabilizing a pickup truck on a job site, using the right chock is critical to preventing accidents, injuries, and costly downtime.

What Are Wheel Chocks?


Wheel chocks are wedge-shaped devices placed against a vehicle’s tires to prevent unintended movement. They’re essential in environments where parking brakes alone aren’t enough—especially on slopes, during loading, or when equipment is left unattended.


Why Urethane Wheel Chocks?


At WearAndRepairInd.com, our urethane chocks are designed to withstand the toughest conditions:

  • ✅ High load capacity for industrial vehicles

  • ✅ Resistant to oil, fuel, and harsh chemicals

  • ✅ Lightweight and easy to carry

  • ✅ Bright safety orange for visibility

  • ✅ Molded-in handle and rope attachment holes


Unlike rubber chocks, urethane won’t crack, rot, or absorb fluids, making it ideal for mining, aviation, transportation, and construction industries.


OSHA & MSHA Compliance


Our wheel chocks meet or exceed OSHA and MSHA safety guidelines, making them suitable for regulated job sites. They’re a simple yet essential way to comply with workplace safety standards and avoid preventable incidents.


Choosing the Right Chock


Not all chocks are created equal. Consider the:


  • Vehicle type, weight, tire diameter

  • Surface grade (flat vs. sloped)

  • Operating environment (oil, snow, gravel, etc.)


Need help choosing? Our experts can recommend the right chock for your fleet or facility.
