Always use two chocks to chock tires. For safe arrest, the chocks resistant force MUST exceed the force exerted by the vehicle.
This can be determined given:
Tire size
Percent grade
Road surface conditions
Gross vehicle weight (GVW)

*For this example:Our HWG Super Gripper was used.
Tire Size: 22.5r
Percent Grade: 30 %
GVW: 80,000 lbs.
Although we test our chocks against the SAE J348 wheel chock standard, the more reasonable goal is to meet or exceed the parking brake standard for that vehicle.
