The KTI Truck Wheel Chock Heavy Duty 12 Kg (Model: KTI16031001HEAV) is engineered by KT Automation Pvt Ltd to secure stationary commercial vehicles and heavy machinery against accidental movement, rollback, and dock creep. Built with a solid molded rubber wedge profile measuring 375 mm in length, 225 mm in width, and 225 mm in height, this 12 kg block provides reliable friction and blocking geometry for transport fleets, logistics terminals, and high-risk industrial facilities rated for heavy vehicle loads up to 40 tons.
Loading Docks and Logistics Freight Transfer Hubs
In high-throughput distribution centres, cargo transfer bays, and cross-docking warehouses, the chock is positioned against rear trailer tires during active loading and unloading cycles. Material handling equipment, such as counterbalanced forklifts, reach trucks, and electric pallet trucks, continuously transfer dynamic momentum into the trailer bed when entering and exiting. Positioning the heavy-duty wedge securely against vehicle tires prevents dock walk or trailer separation from the dock leveler, maintaining a safe interface between warehouse floors and freight beds.
Heavy Commercial Fleets, Tankers, and Transport Depots
The 40-ton commercial vehicle rating makes the KTI16031001HEAV suitable for managing heavy goods vehicles (HGVs), articulated trailers, multi-axle cargo carriers, flatbeds, and commercial passenger buses. In chemical transfer hubs and petroleum refineries, parked bulk liquid tankers must maintain absolute mechanical immobilization during fluid transfer procedures. The oil-resistant, crack-resistant rubber compound allows safe deployment in areas where petrochemical residues, fuels, or lubricants are present on ground surfaces.
Vehicle Maintenance Bays and Service Workshops
During vehicle inspection, mechanical servicing, chassis overhaul, brake testing, and tire replacement, maintenance personnel require positive mechanical wheel blocking alongside standard vehicle air brake systems. Placing the 12 kg molded rubber chock directly against the tire curvature on shop floors or paved service aprons prevents unexpected rolling while technicians work beneath or adjacent to heavy transport units.
Construction Yards, Industrial Plants, and Off-Highway Sites
The solid black rubber formulation features an anti-slip tread base designed to maintain positive contact across diverse surfaces, including asphalt, concrete paving, and compacted gravel. With an operating temperature range spanning -20°C to 60°C and inherent weather-resistant material properties, the chock functions reliably in outdoor industrial yards, manufacturing plants, civil construction projects, and aggregate facilities where off-highway plant machinery and construction haulers require stable immobilization.
Deployment Profile Overview
