  • Publication number: 20250074622
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a wheel chock. The wheel chock can include a body portion. The body portion can include: a bottom face; a first side face and a second side face extending upward relative to the bottom face; at least one chocking face positioned above at least one of the first side face or the second side face, wherein the at least one chocking face includes an angled surface; and a spine forming a top surface parallel to the bottom face, the spine adjoined to the at least one chocking face, and the spine defining apertures. The wheel chock can also include an elongated handle attachable to the body portion via the apertures, the elongated handle configured to maintain an upright, self-standing position.

  • 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.
