Use of Wheel Chocks


See Safety Manual for more information. D ow nh il l g ra de

Locations
Important Improper positioning decreases the
wheel chock’s effectiveness.
Chocks must be used in pairs and positioned downhill
and below the vehicle’s centre of gravity.
This could mean:
• positioning chocks in front of the front wheels if
the vehicle is disabled while travelling down a
gradient.

1250 0235 58
• positioning chocks behind the rear wheels if the
vehicle is disabled while travelling up a gradient.
• positioning chocks in front of and behind one
wheel if the direction of the gradient cannot be Chock in front of the wheels on both sides

against the centre of the tyre tread.
If wheel chocks are expected to hold on a specific
L e v e l g ra d e grade, then all of the variables that may affect the
chock’s performance must be taken into account:
• Tyre size
• Tyre type (pneumatic, radial, bias-ply, solid rub-
ber, etc.)
• Gross vehicle weight
• Varying tyre pressures that naturally occur with
1250 0235 56

changes in the environment


• Type and condition of road surface (i.e. asphalt,
gravel, dirt, firm, soft, wet, dry, icy, etc.)
Chock both sides of wheel Do not simply test a pair of chocks with a specific
vehicle and payload, and broadly assume that the
Uphill grade chocks will hold the same vehicle on the same grade
every time.
Countless combinations of conditions exist and this
must be considered when selecting the most
appropriate wheel chock for each application.
Complete and thorough testing must be completed to
ensure that the wheel chocks in question fulfil the
specific requirements for chocking the wheels.

Mechanical Failures
If a mechanical failure occurs while operating the
vehicle, stop immediately. If the brakes do not
function, apply the parking brake. If the vehicle still
does not stop, steer the vehicle against a wall.

Know Your Work Area


Check to make sure that all travel ways are clear of
obstructions such as rocks and timber etc. Know the
limitations of the vehicle.
When operating around blast areas, keep the motor
running. There is always the possibility that the
vehicle cannot be started and moved in time after a
charge has been set.

Entering the Vehicle


Controls (e.g. the steering lever) must NOT be used as
support when entering the vehicle, as this could lead to
serious personal injury and damage to the equipment.

Operating on Ramps
Engage a low gear on steep ramps. Do not change gear
while operating on the ramp.

Vehicle Right-of-Way
Note Local traffic regulations always take priority.
Because unloaded vehicles are easier and safer to stop,
give loaded vehicles the right-of-way. Reduce speed
and sound the horn before the vehicle is driven round
a blind corner.

Crowd Loading
Combining the traction of the vehicle with the power
of the bucket is known as crowd-loading.
The goal is to load the bucket in a single pass without

Applying the correct amount of tractive power and
bucket force requires experience.
