MaxxHaul Heavy-Duty Rubber Wheel Chocks, 8" x 4" x 6" Tire Stops with Non-Slip Traction and Handle, All-Weather Vehicle Safety Blocks, 2-Pack (70472)

Product Overview

The MaxxHaul Heavy-Duty Rubber Wheel Chocks are specifically engineered to fit tires of most standard vehicles. Each block measures 8 inches in length, 4 inches in width, and 6 inches in height, providing a sizable barrier that sits directly under a tire to keep a vehicle from moving unintentionally. The chocks are constructed from robust rubber, a material that offers resilience and a reliable grip on a variety of surfaces. A built‑in handle on the top of each block allows the user to lift and reposition the chock with ease, reducing the effort needed to set it up or remove it after use.

• Pack includes two chocks, offering a convenient pair for dual‑wheel use.

Application and Use

These wheel chocks are intended for use with passenger and light commercial vehicles. The rubber material provides a firm grip that resists sliding on typical pavement, gravel, and other outdoor surfaces. Because the chocks sit directly under the tire, they do not interfere with the vehicle’s suspension or braking system. The design is simple and requires no additional hardware; the chock can be placed under a tire in seconds. When a vehicle is parked on a slope or uneven ground, the chocks help to prevent roll‑over by stopping the tires from moving. Likewise, during maintenance or when a vehicle is left idle for an extended period, the chocks add an extra layer of mechanical restraint.

Installation and Removal

To install a chock, lift it using the handle and position it under the tire that needs to be restrained. The rubber surface should contact the ground directly beneath the tire, ensuring maximum stability. The handle allows the chock to be positioned without the need to bend over or use a ladder. When the vehicle is ready to move, the chock can be lifted off quickly by grasping the handle and pulling upward. Because the product is made from rubber, it can be stored in a garage, workshop, or outdoors without the need for special storage conditions.

Maintenance Tips

Since the chocks are made from rubber, routine cleaning is straightforward. A damp cloth or mild soap solution can remove dirt and debris. Drying the blocks after washing helps prevent mildew buildup. Inspect the rubber for signs of cracking or excessive wear; replace the chock if it becomes damaged, as a compromised surface may not provide adequate traction.

Packaging and Quantity

The product is supplied as a 2‑pack, allowing two chocks to be used simultaneously for vehicles with at least two tires that need to be restrained. Each chock is individually packaged in a protective sleeve to prevent damage during shipping and handling. Once received, the chocks can be used immediately without additional assembly.

Safety Considerations

When using wheel chocks, it is essential to place them correctly under each tire that needs to be stopped. The chocks do not replace other safety protocols such as engaging the parking brake, especially for vehicles on steep inclines. Always ensure that the vehicle is in the correct gear or in neutral and that the parking brake is engaged before setting wheel chocks.
