The unintentional movement of heavy vehicles can result in dangerous situations. Tandem wheel chocks come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most of these wheel chocks are heavy-duty, UV stable and easy to use. Here’s a comprehensive guide to selecting the right kind of wheel chocks that can help you get the best outcomes: 1.Size of the vehicle It is important to ensure that wheel chocks need to match the size of your vehicle’s tyres. Generally tyres are designed in proportion to the car’s size and weight, so if the chocks are too small they might not be effective. 2.Weight of the Chocks a lightweight wheel chock might be perfect for a compact vehicle like cars, but it may not work well for a heavy vehicle. 3.Vehicle Weight Make sure to get wheel chocks that can stand up to the weight of your vehicle. A large number of manufacturers specify what weight their chocks can bear. So be sure to check it before purchasing. 13 Sheffield Street, Levin 5510, New Zealand www.fspnewzealand.co.nz
