Select wheel chock according to airframe type and size. Always use aircraft chocks in pairs and on firm surfaces. Chock both sides of the wheel if the direction of the gradient is undetermined. Use only after parking brake is applied. Centre chocks snugly and squarely against tread of each wheel, tighten lashing to secure both chocks to the wheel.
The standard aircraft chocks are supplied all black and include a handling rope. Storm chocks too are generally priced all black with the webbing supplied in your choice of colour. Yellow or red chock segments are available, pricing subject to your specification.
