Manual Positioning and Right-Hand Configuration Placement
The KTI Metal Truck Wheel Chock with Handle Right (Ref: KTI16031001MEWS_Right) is designed for immediate manual deployment on industrial driveways, freight terminals, and logistics loading docks. Proper positioning is critical to prevent commercial vehicle and truck rollaway during loading, unloading, and parking operations. As a dedicated right-hand configuration unit, this chock is engineered for targeted placement along the corresponding vehicle wheel assemblies.
Deployment is executed manually using the integrated 30-inch vertical metal handle. The extended handle length allows dock workers, yard marshals, and transport drivers to accurately align and position the chock directly against the tyre tread without having to reach awkwardly under the truck body or wheel arch.
Step-by-Step Wheel Chock Deployment Procedure
To ensure maximum holding stability and secure contact with commercial truck tyres, follow these deployment steps during every parking and dock staging sequence:
- Step 1: Vehicle Immobilisation: Ensure the commercial truck or trailer is brought to a complete stop at the designated parking bay or loading bay, and the vehicle parking brake is fully engaged before positioning the chock.
- Step 2: Chock Alignment: Grasp the integrated 30-inch vertical metal handle to carry and align the right-hand orientation chock with the targeted truck tyre.
- Step 3: Flush Surface Contact: Slide the 3 mm mild steel chequered plate wedge flush against the centre of the tyre tread. Ensure that the 9-inch chock width spans across the tyre contact patch evenly.
- Step 4: Secure Seating: Push the chock firmly into the tyre face until the 12-inch depth profile is securely wedged beneath the tyre curve. The patterned 3 mm mild steel chequered plate must make solid contact with both the tyre surface and the ground.
- Step 5: Visual Verification: Inspect the wheel assembly to verify that there are no gaps between the tyre tread and the 3 mm MS chequered plate surface before authorising loading or unloading operations to proceed.
Deployment and Dimensional Parameters
The table below outlines the dimensional and structural specifications relevant to the correct placement and handling of this wheel chock model:

| Vertical Handle Length | 30 inches |
| Plate Thickness & Material | 3 mm Mild Steel (MS) Chequered Plate |
| Hardware Configuration | Right-Hand Orientation |
| Primary Application | Truck Tyre Rollaway Prevention (Loading/Unloading/Parking) |
Post-Operation Retrieval and Safe Handling
Once loading, unloading, or maintenance operations are finalised and the truck is cleared for departure, the wheel chock must be disengaged. Operators should take hold of the 30-inch vertical metal handle and pull the chock backward away from the tyre tread in a single, controlled movement. Store the mild steel chock in a designated staging area adjacent to the dock bay or inside the transport vehicle ready for subsequent deployment.
