Aircraft wheel chocks - All types & sizes

Aircraft wheel chocks - All types & sizes

Aircraft wheel chocks in multiple length and width configurations accommodate different wheel sizes, enabling accurate fit selection across a mixed fleet. Manufactured from high-density rubber or optional polyurethane/composite constructions, chocks are oil- and fuel-resistant, non-marking and UV-stable. Robust geometry and textured contact faces ensure reliable restraint for aircraft on ramps, aprons and maintenance stands.

The range includes standard and custom aircraft chocks for light aircraft to heavy transports, with integral handling points, recessed tie-downs and optional safety flagging. Products are specified for operational safety and repeatable performance; contact our team for technical advice on sizing, material selection and regulatory considerations.

Aircraft wheel chocks — types and sizing

Aircraft wheel chocks are produced in a range of geometries and sizes to suit different tyre profiles and wheel diameters. Typical configurations include single- and double-wedge shapes as well as bespoke and custom aircraft chocks manufactured to match specific wheel widths and diameters. The chocks are available in multiple length and width configurations to accommodate different wheel sizes, so selection is based on wheel diameter, tyre profile and operational constraints. For an overview of standard options and size ranges see the aircraft wheel chocks collection: aircraft wheel chocks.

Aircraft chocks for fleet, industrial and marine use

Materials and surface treatments are chosen according to application and handling requirements; common considerations include resistance to oils, abrasion and UV exposure for outdoor use. Aircraft chocks and airplane wheel chocks are used across airline, maintenance, shipyard and industrial environments where stable parking and ground handling are required. Procurement decisions typically consider compatibility with the fleet, ease of inspection, storage footprint and any attachment or handling features required by ground crews. RuplaTec supplies technical rubber and plastic products and can be contacted for advice on specifying aircraft chock types, requesting dimensional data or discussing custom aircraft chocks to suit particular wheel dimensions.

FAQ

How do I select the right aircraft wheel chocks for different wheel sizes?

Selection of aircraft wheel chocks should be based on wheel diameter, tyre profile and the operating surface. Chocks are offered in multiple length and width configurations to accommodate a range of wheel sizes; choose a chock that provides stable contact across the tyre tread. Consider material suitability for the operating environment and confirm compatibility with the aircraft manufacturer’s guidance and ground-handling procedures. Contact our team for advice on matching airplane wheel chocks to your fleet.

What materials are aircraft chocks made from and how should they be maintained?

Aircraft chocks are commonly manufactured from engineered rubber, polyurethane or composite materials designed to resist abrasion and environmental exposure. Regular maintenance includes visual inspection for cracks, deformation or embedded debris, cleaning to remove contaminants and storage away from prolonged UV exposure. Damaged or excessively worn airplane chock units should be removed from service. Follow the manufacturer’s maintenance recommendations and documented inspection intervals to ensure continued performance.

Can I order custom aircraft chocks to fit specific aircraft or operational requirements?

Custom aircraft chocks can be specified when standard configurations do not meet operational needs. Typical customisation covers length and width configurations, colour or markings for identification, and attachment or tethering options for secure stowage. Any custom specification should be validated against aircraft ground-handling requirements and manufacturer recommendations. For bespoke solutions or technical clarification, please contact our team for assistance with custom aircraft chocks.

What safety and regulatory considerations apply to using airplane wheel chocks?

Use of plane chocks must conform to the relevant aircraft manufacturer procedures and applicable regulatory guidance. Ensure chocks are appropriate for the wheel size and surface, correctly positioned and inspected before use. Personnel should be trained in approved chocking procedures and in recognising when chocks are compromised. Maintain records of inspections and follow any operational checklists to support compliance with safety management systems and regulatory expectations for ground operations.
