Choosing The Right Aircraft Chock

Selecting the proper aircraft wheel chocks is crucial for ensuring the safety of parked aircraft. The right choice depends on understanding the materials used, the size required, and the benefits of added features like ropes. This concise guide will help you navigate these considerations effectively.

Aircraft Chock

What material are Aircraft Chocks Made of?

  • Our Aircraft Chocks are made of rubber, this is ideal for its durability, flexibility and excellent grip. Rubber chocks are designed to withstand harsh conditions, including UV exposure or rain.

What size Aircraft Chock do I need?

The size of the chocks you need depends on your aircraft's weight and tire size, along with the parking surface's slope. While small aircraft might need chocks around 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) in height, larger planes could require chocks that are 10-12 inches (25-30 cm) tall. Always consider the manufacturer's or operator's guidelines for the most accurate sizing.

Advantages of Aircraft Chock with rope

Chocks with ropes or chains provide:

  • Ease of Use: Simplifies the placement and removal process, especially under challenging conditions.
  • Safety: Keeps chocks together, reducing the risk of loss and making them easier to store and transport.
  • Visibility: Enhances the likelihood of being noticed, thereby increasing safety.

When choosing aircraft wheel chocks, ensure they meet your specific requirements in terms of size, material, and usability features like ropes or chains. If you're uncertain about the best option for your needs, our team of experts is here to assist you in making a safe and informed decision.

FAQ

What are aircraft wheel chocks?


Aircraft wheel chocks are wedge-shaped blocks, typically made of rubber, polyurethane, wood, or metal, placed snugly in front and behind aircraft wheels to prevent unintended movement while parked. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Why are chocks necessary if the parking brake is applied?


Chocks provide a failsafe for unintended movement—especially useful when hydraulic parking brakes slowly lose pressure over time or during extended idle periods. They also enable pilots to release hot brakes so they can cool down, without mobility risk. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

How should aircraft wheel chocks be positioned?


For effective immobilization, chocks should be placed snugly against each wheel, both in front and behind. This approach prevents forward and backward movement under wind, slope, or fuel load shifts. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

From which materials are wheel chocks made, and what are the benefits?


Chocks are made from materials like rubber, polyurethane, wood, or metal. Polyurethane offers lightweight strength and resistance to oils and fuels; rubber excels in grip; wood remains economical; and metal chocks are highly durable—though each material comes with specific use conditions. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Do aircraft wheel chocks need regular inspection?


Yes. Regular checks for wear, slipperiness, or contamination are advised. Damaged or degraded chocks should be replaced promptly to maintain reliability and ground safety.
