Rubber Wheel Chocks for Aircraft

What are rubber wheel chocks for aircraft?
Rubber wheel chocks are essential equipment at every airport. Placed in front or behind the wheels, they stop the aircraft at its designated spot. They prevent unwanted movement of the aircraft during parking or maintenance. They increase safety and improve the flow of aircraft operations.

Why are rubber wheel chocks for aircraft so important?

Rubber chocks are used in both civil, commercial, and military aviation. They reduce the risk of hazards and prevent accidents and collisions during stops at the airport apron or in hangars. Their use protects lives!

Chocks are placed on both sides of the aircraft after it has stopped and the brakes are applied, to prevent any movement during parking, fueling, or maintenance. They adjust to the shape of the tires and have a specially grooved surface that increases grip. They are ideal for smaller private planes and large passenger jets.

Chocks vary in weight depending on size. They are sold individually with a rope or in pairs. Simple installation by blocking the wheel or wheels reduces turnaround time (requires no additional tools). Versions with ropes further increase safety.

To effectively block the wheels, it is essential to match the chock to the tire size, taking into account the vehicle weight (working load limit) with or without a load.

What are the rubber wheel chocks made of?
Wheel chocks were originally made from various materials (wood, steel). At Power Rubber, the production of chocks is made from a high-quality rubber compound with high density and a triangular construction. The triangular design is used worldwide in the aviation industry.

Shape of Wheel Chocks – Increases Safety
The shape of the aircraft wheel chocks is designed to distribute forces generated by the movement of the aircraft. Forces applied during docking will cause a direction change, i.e., a 180° shift, to ultimately stop the unit in the correct place. The profiled edges provide optimal friction with the ground.

What are the benefits of placing Power Rubber chocks under the wheels?

Every truck or car owner should understand how important safety is during parking. Using high-quality rubber tire blockers guarantees durability, resistance to a wide range of temperatures and damage, and UV degradation resistance.

Using durable and technically functional chocks is an economical solution that saves money in the long term. Our products are resistant to environmental conditions, aviation fuel, oils, and lubricants. They do not crack or crumble during use.

Some models have reflective markings, which increase visibility, and special handles (ropes) visible in the pictures, which allow for efficient removal and easy transport.

Our chocks were designed for various applications. They provide durability and reliability. They are also ideal for mining, construction, and parking on steep slopes, in garages, and during loading and unloading goods. All data and specifications are available in the product description.
