Our Wombat 5T Wheel Chock is ideal for light vehicles Our Wombat Wheel Chocks are made from tough urethane construction yet still lightweight and portable. Wheel chocks are essential in keeping both man and machine safe on mine sites. Wheel chocks are a compulsory backup means of immobilising equipment when parking during maintenance or breakdowns. This wheel chock can stop 5 tonnes (depending on gradient and wheel size) Suits a tyre dimension of 600mm Strong, safe and lightweight It is ideal for securing light vehicles, small trucks and large mining equipment Tough urethane construction Lightweight and portable Weather resistant Oil, fuel, chemical and solvents resistant Recessed handle for ease of carrying What size Wheel Chock should I use? The height of the wheel chock should be 25% of the height of your wheel and fit snugly against your tyre. For example, a wheel 600mm high, would require a wheel chock of 150mm. When parking on a gradient it is recommended that at least two wheel chocks are used. The majority of mine sites in Australia require all vehicles to always use wheel chocks. We recommend using the 5T wheel chock for light vehicles only. The 30T and 60T are recommended for heavy vehicles. We also suggest purchasing a wheel chock bracket to store your wheel chocks while they aren’t in use. CLICK HERE to view our Wombat Wheel Chock range.
