The KTI Metal Truck Wheel Chock with Handle (Model: KTI16031001MEWS) is engineered for positive vehicle immobilisation across demanding industrial, logistics, and material handling environments. Fabricated from 3 mm mild steel (MS) chequered plate with structural dimensions of 12 inches depth, 9 inches length, and 9 inches width, this chock provides heavy-duty mechanical resistance against unintentional rolling for trucks, trailers, and commercial transport fleets.
Warehouse Loading Docks and Logistics Distribution Hubs
At busy loading docks and cross-docking bays, vehicle creep and accidental drive-offs present severe hazards to material handling operators and dock leveler equipment. The KTI16031001MEWS is deployed directly flush against commercial vehicle tires during freight transfer. The 3 mm mild steel chequered plate surface grips the tire tread to maintain solid traction against concrete and asphalt surfaces, keeping heavy vehicles stationary while high-tonnage forklifts move in and out of the trailer bed.
Freight Transport Terminals and Trailer Staging Yards
In high-throughput freight terminals and container yards, heavy commercial vehicles and uncoupled trailers are frequently staged on level or graded surfaces. Ground safety marshals and dock workers deploy these wheel chocks to lock truck wheel profiles in place during uncoupling, pre-trip inspections, and extended dwell times. The integrated 30-inch vertical metal handle enables ground crews to rapidly position and retrieve the 9" x 9" x 12" chock from a standing position, eliminating the need to stoop or reach deep under commercial vehicle bodywork.
Industrial Plant Parking and Vehicle Maintenance Bays
Within industrial manufacturing facilities, chemical plants, and heavy engineering workshops, commercial transport vehicles frequently park for raw material delivery and offloading. Placing the KTI metal wheel chock against tire perimeters establishes designated vehicle lock zones during routine maintenance, tire checks, and structural inspections, preventing accidental movement caused by brake failure or slope drift.
Fleet Operations and On-Road Transport Safety
Logistics fleet operators require portable and durable wheel-blocking equipment to accompany commercial trucks on transport routes. The KTI16031001MEWS serves as an onboard safety tool for transport drivers, enabling rapid manual deployment during roadside staging, cargo securing, and emergency inspections.
