Heavy Duty HGV Rubber Wheel Chock 460x200x220mm | 44 Tonne DIN Compliant

SN144 HGV Wheel Chock — DIN 76051-53 Compliant, 44T Load Rated

The SN144 Heavy Duty HGV Wheel Chock is a professional-grade vehicle securing device designed for use with heavy goods vehicles, articulated lorries, and large plant machinery. Compliant with DIN 76051-53 standards and rated to 44 tonnes, it provides reliable wheel immobilisation at loading bays, logistics sites, and quarries across the UK.

Constructed from high-strength nylon-reinforced polymer, the SN144 is lightweight enough for one-person deployment yet engineered to resist the forces exerted by the heaviest road-legal HGVs. Its ergonomic shape maximises tyre contact area for maximum holding force.

Safety and Compliance

Wheel chocks are a fundamental element of loading bay safety. HSE guidance requires that HGVs are secured against unintended movement during loading and unloading operations. The SN144 satisfies this requirement for vehicles up to 44 tonnes GVW. For vehicles exceeding this weight, contact us for heavier-duty alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many wheel chocks do I need per vehicle?

A minimum of two chocks is recommended per vehicle — one placed against the front face of a rear wheel and one against the rear face of the same or adjacent wheel. For sloped surfaces or high-risk operations, four chocks should be used.

Are these chocks suitable for use on slopes?

Yes, but on significant slopes (greater than 5% grade) additional securing measures should be used alongside wheel chocks. Always refer to your site-specific risk assessment.

Do wheel chocks need to be used with landing legs?

For articulated trailers, wheel chocks are used in addition to (not instead of) landing legs. Both measures should be deployed for maximum safety during uncoupled trailer loading.
