Overview

The RUBASIA RUBBERTECH INDUSTRIES Solid Rubber Wheel Chock Model 160 is a safety device designed to immobilize vehicle wheels — preventing accidental rolling, sliding, or movement during parking, loading, or maintenance.

Constructed from high-density solid vulcanized rubber, it provides exceptional grip, stability, and durability for heavy vehicles in Borneo’s tropical industrial environment, including Sabah, Sarawak, and Brunei.

This wheel chock is commonly used for trucks, buses, trailers, tankers, and construction vehicles, ensuring complete vehicle safety compliance in factories, ports, airports, and workshops.

 

Step-By-Step Guide: How to Use the Solid Rubber Wheel Chock

RUBASIA’s wheel chocks are designed for simple, quick, and effective use — but correct placement and handling are essential for maximum safety.

Below is a comprehensive guide on how to correctly use and position the Solid Rubber Wheel Chock Model 160.

 

🔹 Step 1: Choose a Safe and Level Surface

• Before parking the vehicle, inspect the ground surface.
• Ensure the area is firm, stable, and free of oil, loose gravel, or mud.
• Avoid placing chocks on slippery, soft, or uneven terrain unless properly stabilized.
• For rough or loose ground (e.g., gravel sites in Keningau, Lahad Datu, or Mukah), clear debris to allow the chock to grip effectively.

 

🔹 Step 2: Engage the Parking Brake

• Always apply the vehicle’s handbrake or parking brake before using wheel chocks.
• The wheel chock serves as a secondary safety measure, not a replacement for the parking brake.
• This dual protection method ensures maximum immobilization, especially on slopes or ramps.

 

🔹 Step 3: Identify the Correct Wheels to Chock

• For two-wheel drive vehicles, chock the drive axle wheels:
  • Front-wheel drive: place chocks in front of both front tires.
  • Rear-wheel drive: place chocks behind both rear tires.
• For four-wheel drive or heavy vehicles (trucks, buses, tankers), use two chocks minimum — one on each side of at least one axle.
• For trailers, tankers, or parked machinery, chock both sides of one tire for maximum stability.
• In industrial yards of Sabah, Sarawak, or Brunei, where ground slopes may vary, always chock the downhill side of the tire.

 

🔹 Step 4: Correct Placement and Positioning

1. Approach the wheel carefully. Ensure the vehicle is stationary.
2. Place the chock snugly against the tire tread — the curved side facing the tire and the cleated base on the ground.
3. The chock should fit tightly between the tire and ground with no gaps.
4. For larger vehicles or heavy loads, use two chocks per tire (front and back) to secure the vehicle completely.
5. When operating on an inclined slope, always place chocks on the downhill side of each wheel.

Example:

• Parking on a downhill slope → place chock in front of tires.
• Parking on an uphill slope → place chock behind tires.

 

🔹 Step 5: Double-Check Stability

• After placing the chocks, gently release the brake pressure (for a few seconds) to confirm the vehicle remains stationary.
• If the vehicle moves slightly, reposition or add additional chocks until no movement occurs.
• For heavy trucks or tankers in industrial zones like Bintulu, Miri, or Bandar Seri Begawan, always use two or more chocks for added safety.

 

🔹 Step 6: Removing the Wheel Chock Safely

1. Ensure the vehicle parking brake is fully engaged before removing the chock.
2. Pull the chock backward using the rope handle or built-in grip hole.
3. Never kick or jerk the chock — always use the rope or handle to avoid injury.
4. Store chocks in a designated vehicle compartment or maintenance storage rack when not in use.

 

🔹 Step 7: Maintenance and Care Tips

To maintain performance and safety:

• Clean regularly with mild soap and water to remove oil or dirt buildup.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when stored — though UV-resistant, long-term exposure can dry rubber.
• Inspect for cracks or deep cuts periodically. Replace if signs of excessive wear appear.
• Store in a dry, shaded area — not near fuel or chemicals.
• For high-traffic workshops (e.g., in Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, or Miri), implement a weekly safety inspectionchecklist.

 

Common Application Scenarios

🚚 1. Trucking & Logistics

• Used at loading bays, freight terminals, and logistic yards in Sabah (Kota Kinabalu, Tawau, Sandakan).
• Ensures trailers, container trucks, and cargo lorries remain stable during loading/unloading.

🏭 2. Industrial Manufacturing

• Keeps factory vehicles and forklifts stationary during maintenance in Miri, Sibu, and Kuching.
• Common in rubber, steel, and food processing factories for production-floor safety.

🛫 3. Airports & Aviation

• Used under aircraft landing gear to prevent wheel movement during fueling or maintenance.
• Trusted at KKIA, Bintulu Airport, and Brunei International Airport.

⛽ 4. Oil & Gas Facilities

• Secures fuel tankers and chemical transport vehicles in Brunei’s Seria, Kuala Belait, and Sabah’s Lahad Datu refineries.
• Rubber composition resists oil, grease, and chemical corrosion.

🏗️ 5. Construction Sites

• Stabilizes cranes, dump trucks, and loaders on sloped terrain during refueling or servicing.
• Used across major construction projects in Sarawak’s Kapit, Sri Aman, and Betong regions.

🧰 6. Vehicle Workshops & Service Centres

• Prevents car, bus, or lorry movement during inspection or tire change.
• Ideal for automotive workshops in Papar, Beaufort, and Tutong.

 

Safety Warnings

• Never use only one chock for heavy vehicles.
• Do not use damaged or cracked chocks.
• Avoid placing chocks on ice, mud, or extremely loose soil without solid footing.
• Ensure chocks are appropriate for the vehicle’s tire size — Model 160 fits most medium to heavy vehicles.
• Always train staff in correct placement procedures.
