Wheel Chocks = Dock Safety


Wheel chocks should be inspected on a regular basis. Your loading dock prevenatative maintenance service provider should be inspecting your wheel chocks at each scheduled service. You should receive a report on the condition and a recommendation to replace as needed. If you do not have a service provider, you should have someone within your company do a monthly inspection of the wheel chocks and hardware. Keep a few extra wheel chocks, chains and connecting hardware on hand, just in case. Remember, this is a safety issue and should be taken seriously. Injury or death can occur in the event of wheel chock failure.
