Vehicle-related incidents make up a large portion of commercial accidents each year and highlight the need for proper safety equipment, such as Checkers wheel chocks. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accidents involving vehicles or mobile equipment account for approximately 400 annual deaths, many which involved unsecured vehicles.

Wheel chocks are a wedge of sturdy material that is placed against a vehicle’s wheels to prevent accidental movement. Due to strength, durability, and performance needs, commercial chock blocks for trucks and more are frequently constructed of polyurethane or rubber materials. Whether for commercial or recreational needs, chocking is a best practice for vehicle and mobile equipment safety.
