  • Publication number: 20250256861
    Abstract: A reversible wheel chock can include a body portion having: a bottom face; a front face and a rear face extending upward relative to the bottom face, the front face having a front wall height, and the rear face having a rear wall height equivalent to the front wall height; a spine forming a top surface parallel to the bottom face, the spine defining apertures; a first chocking face spanning a first surface distance between the spine and the front face; and a second chocking face spanning a second surface distance between the spine and the rear face. The first surface distance and the second surface distance can be between 3 and 4 times greater than the front and rear wall heights. A handle can be attachable to the body portion via the apertures. A base pad can be attached to the body portion adjacent to the bottom face.

  • Patent number: 11618418
    Abstract: A wheel chock has a body with a shell and filled core construction capable of supporting high chocking loads while being relatively lightweight and portable. The chock includes walls sized and shaped to support large-diameter wheels such as wheels of large haul vehicles and mining trucks. The chock can be sized proportional to the radius of the wheel to be retained or based on the radius of curvature of a wall configured to primarily support the outer surface of the wheel. The chock can have a cut off or flattened toe or front surface that reduces weight and helps to ensure that the entire chock is load-bearing when in a chocking position. The chock can also have a flattened top surface to support the outer surface of a tire that deforms around the chock while it is being retained by the chock.
