Aircraft wheel chocks are made of durable EPDM/ SBR Rubber and are designed to fit around the aircraft’s wheels. They allow them to be placed onto both the front and rear wheels, preventing the vehicle from moving forward or backward. When not in use, they can be stored in a secure location away from potential threats like storing knives in a knife block.
Aircraft wheel chocks should be checked prior to every use to ensure they are free of debris or damage. They should also be inspected periodically for signs of wear or damage. Aircraft wheel chocks are often available in sets of two, so if one is damaged, at least one is still functional.
