The short answer is yes, they do! National Plastics & Rubber has engineered MineChocks, tough and durable wheel chocks. Designed to meet virtually every need – from small site vehicles to largest ultra class mining trucks.
What Are Wheel Chocks?
Wheel chocks, also referred to as wheel stoppers, tyre chocks, or wheel blocks, are wedge-shaped devices placed against a vehicle’s wheels to prevent unintended movement.
Imagine forgetting to engage your handbrake – without proper precautions, your vehicle could roll away. With wheel chocks in place, you eliminate that risk. They are an essential safety measure for ensuring stationary vehicles remain stationary.
Applications of Wheel Chocks
From small vehicles to heavy-duty mining equipment, wheel chocks play a critical role in safety across a variety of industries. Whether you need:
- Small site vehicle chocks for out in the field.
- Heavy-duty ultra class mining truck chocks for massive machinery.
- Or anything in between…
We have a solution tailored to your specific requirements.
Advantages of MineChocks
Traditional wheel chocks have been made from materials such as metal, plastic, or rubber. While effective, these options often come with challenges, such as weight, corrosion, or wear from harsh environments.
We have revolutionised the design with lightweight polyurethane MineChocks, offering several advantages:
- Durable and slip-resistant for enhanced safety.
- Impervious to chemicals and oils, making them ideal for industrial and mining environments.
- Lightweight and easy to handle, with built-in handles for effortless placement and removal.
- Manufactured in Australia to meet the highest quality standards.
Why Truck Chocks Are Crucial for Safety
The consistent use of heavy-duty wheel chocks is critical to maintaining a safe work environment, especially in industries like mining, construction, and heavy transport. By preventing unintentional vehicle movement, wheel chocks reduce workplace risks and help ensure compliance with safety protocols.
