Yellow Rubber Aircraft Wheel Chock with Red Rope - 175 x 160 x 250 mm, 6 kg

Our smallest high-visibility aircraft chock. At 250mm long and about 6kg, this solid yellow rubber chock is easy for one person to carry out to a smaller aircraft, and easy to spot once it is in place. A 12mm red rope runs through the centre for carrying it and pulling it clear by hand. Your airline or operator's guidelines set the chock size for each aircraft type, so check those before you order. The price is for one chock.

Why this chock works

Seen from across the apron. Bright yellow rubber with a red rope stands out on tarmac and concrete, and because the colour is in the rubber itself, wear won't reveal a black layer underneath.

Compact and light. This is the shortest and lightest of our yellow chocks, so it suits flying clubs and small operators moving chocks by hand all day.

No wrong way up. The triangular section has three matching faces, so a flat face always sits on the ground and a sloped face meets the tyre.

Reflective tape if you need it. We can add highly reflective honeycomb tape to each of the three sides at extra cost, for night and low-light work. It isn't included as standard.

No load rating or test standard is published for this line. If your specification needs either, call us before you order.

Where it is used

Use it at flying clubs, general aviation airfields and small hangars, on single wheels with little room either side, wherever your procedure calls for a chock of about this length.

Specifications

Sizes are approximate, as moulded rubber varies slightly.

How to use it

1. Follow your airline or operator's chocking procedure, and check this size is approved for the aircraft type.
2. Set one chock tight against each side of the tyre.
3. Keep the rope clear of the wheel, laid out to the side.
4. When you are told it is safe, pull the chocks clear by the rope.

Care

Check the chock and rope before use, and replace the rope if it is frayed. SBR rubber does not resist oil or fuel well, so wipe off fuel and hydraulic fluid promptly.
