Trailers are used in a variety of industries to transport a range of materials, equipment or products. In addition to commercial operations, trailers are utilized by everyday users to haul boats, equipment, and more. Even though trailers may be used to transport a wide range of materials in commercial, industrial or residential settings, all trailers share the same basic design.
When trailers are being loaded or unloaded, it is important to secure them to prevent unintentional movement. Wheel chocks are designed to secure at-rest trailers and prevent rolling or sliding. Wheel chocks are easy to use and are an essential component of trailer safety. To help you find the wheel chock option that is right for your trailer, here is an overview of wheel chocks from Checkers that can be used to secure your trailer.

Prevent Injuries with Trailer Wheel Chocks
Trailer wheel chocks can help keep pedestrians and other vehicles protected from rolling or unintentional vehicle movement. In a recent publication, the National Safety Council (NSC) indicated that trailer creep—the unintentional movement of a trailer during loading or unloading—poses a significant risk of injury to workers or personnel. The NSC publication recommends wheel chocks to keep trailers stationary.
The agricultural industry also makes frequent use of trailers for hauling heavy equipment. According to the National Agriculture Safety Database (NASD), the unintentional movement of a trailer during loading or unloading could result in damaged equipment or injury. The NASD recommends chocking the tires of a trailer prior to loading and unloading.
