TORO® Wheel Chocks Type, Size, Quantity Used
Must Properly Suit Your Application Needs.
Your vehicle, environment, payload, and your maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) will determine the type of wheel chock for your application. See our Chocking Procedures for land vehicle use which provide Chocking Diagrams to provide end users with direction on positioning chock on either uphill, downhill or level grade placement of chocks for various applications on vehicles or heavy equipment such as vehicles with 2 or more axels, articulated trucks, trucks up to 255 tons, and trucks over 255 tons.
QUALITY guidance documents are available to ensure the success in meeting each vehicle’s specific requirements:
- Gross Operating Weight (GVW)
- Maximum Load Capacity
- Tire Size (Diameter)
- Chock models & proper chocking – factoring environmental conditions, ground surfaces and grade/level of ground surface
Before Using TORO® Wheel Chocks…
Ensure end users are educated on the correct use of wheel chocks. We want to set some guidelines by preparing some basic user safety recommendations to avoid potential safety issues of not using wheel chocks, and to ensure they are being used correctly. Wheel chocks not used properly such as the wrong size chock; or using an incorrect quantity of chocks – can create safety issues. There are many conditions that only require 2 chocks per vehicle, and some may need 4 chocks per vehicle. Prior to using wheel chocks a user must take several aspects into consideration. The end user should be required to consider these several aspects which may alter the wheel chock’s performance:
- Gross Vehicle Operating Weight
End Users must understand the GVW of the vehicle to determine the necessary wheel chock for your specific requirements. - Maximum Load Capacity
Maximum Load Capacity is based per chock. Each chock is designed to handle a certain amount of Tonnage. MINIMUM of (2) chocks required per vehicle. - Tire Size
End Users must identify the tire diameter of the vehicle to select the correct wheel chock needed. - Tire Pressure
Ensure your tire pressure is inline as changing and shifting pressures can happen naturally with changes in the environment, as the air expands and contracts. - Ground Surface Level or Grade
End Users must be aware of the environmental conditions and ground surface the tires are exposed to, whether it is firm, soft, wet, dry, icy, frozen. Driver Industrial manufactures wheel chocks for all applications, with optional cleated pads available for additional traction.
When selecting the most appropriate wheel chock for each application, numerous combinations of circumstances must be considered. You cannot roughly assume the same wheel chocks will hold the same vehicle every time, you need to test a pair of wheel chocks as specified on a certain grade in each environment and circumstance for every situation. Each location or job site should perform careful testing to ensure ethe specific wheel chocks meet their needs at each site location to ensure the chocks meet their requirements. Wheel chocks require not much or no maintenance but do require regular visual examination for cracking, chipping, and any other noticeable concerning physical malfunctions to indicate the need for replacement.
ATTENTION! Wheel Chock Users…
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS:
Wheel chocks are extremely effective safety tools providing optimum security when used correctly. Users must comply with all warnings, guidelines and instructions for land vehicles which are provided with each TORO® product. Wheel chocks MUST BE used in pairs, positioned downhill firmly against the tire and below the truck’s center of gravity. Meaning, place a chock in front of both front tires if the truck is disabled and traveling down a grade, and in traveling up a grade while disabled place a chock in back of both rear tires of the truck. If the direction of the grade cannot be determined chock the front and back of one wheel. In severe conditions, it’s necessary to use multiple pairs of chocks. Wheel chocks MUST BE positioned firmly and squarely against the center of the tire tread. If not properly positioned, the wheel chock will not be effective to it’s expected potential. These are generally accepted chocking procedures, and it is the responsibility of the end user to make the final determination of how the vehicle should properly be chocked based on the provided circumstances.
Our main goal is to inform and educate users on how to properly use TORO® wheel chocks. Testing & qualification is required for individual vehicles and for correct product selection to meet site requirements. Many factors MUST BE considered before selecting and using our wheel chocks. Numerous variables occur which can a ect the wheel chocks performing up to their potential; including but not limited to:
- Wheel Size or Tire Diameter (Check out our Wheel Chock Selection Guide)
- Maximum Gross Vehicle Operating Weight (Check out our Wheel Chock Selection Guide)
- Grade or Level of the ground surface
- Radial Tires vs. Bias Ply tires must be taken into consideration. Radial tires by design flex and deflect more than a bias-ply tire due to not having as many plies or body cords on the sidewall which allows radial tires to flex more. This flexibility provides a smooth ride due to the larger more stable ground contact area – which enables the tire to wrap up around the wheel chock, decreasing the chock’s efficiency.
- Changing tire pressures occur with fluctuations in the natural environment
- State or current condition of the ground surface (i.e. frozen, icy, wet, dry, firm, soft and pliable).
Wheel Chock Basics to Consider:
Advised Gross Vehicle Operating Weight (GVW) is a guide only. This will vary due to various environmental factors. Please complete an adequate risk assessment in your environment before using the chocks. Testing and qualification is required for individual vehicles and for correct product placement. Advised GVW is a guide only. This will vary due to environmental factors. Please complete an adequate risk assessment before using chocks. DO NOT use chocks if chocks are damaged. Perform regular inspections looking for cracking, chipping, and any other noticeable concerning physical malfunctions.
