Wheel Chocks & Scotch Blocks

What you will find here

This section lists 20 wheel chocks & scotch blocks. Prices currently range from $4.89 to $2,882.99 in US dollars, and every product page shows the complete table of sizes and options so you can compare without clicking through each listing.

Common uses

Buyers use wheel chocks & scotch blocks for car haulers, rollbacks and wreckers, securing vehicles by the tires or axles and roadside towing and vehicle recovery. Secure vehicles at four points and strap the tires or axles, not body panels, so the suspension can move without loosening the tie-down.

How to choose wheel chocks & scotch blocks

Compare the options and specifications in the table above and pick the size or configuration that matches your equipment and load.

Working load limits in this section run from 1,333 lbs to 1,333 lbs. Use the working load limit — never the breaking strength — when you plan a load.

Three steps to the right choice

1. Strap tires, not bodywork. Wheel nets and tire straps keep tension as the suspension moves.
2. Choose fittings for your deck. Flat hooks, snap hooks, J-hooks and e-track ends suit different anchor points.
3. Use the right strap for recovery. Recovery straps stretch to absorb energy; tow straps do not.

Materials compared

• Rubber (16 products) — Rubber stays flexible, grips well and resists weathering.

Specifications to compare

• Surface finish — the coating that protects the metal. Galvanized and zinc finishes resist rust; powder coat adds a tough painted layer.
• Working load limit (WLL) — the maximum load the item is rated to carry in normal service. For cargo securement, the WLLs of all tie-downs on a load must add up to at least half the cargo weight (FMCSA 49 CFR 393.106).
• Breaking strength — the force at which the item fails in testing. It is not a working rating — always plan with the WLL, which is set well below breaking strength.

Before you buy

• Confirm the size or option matches your equipment.
• Check the rated capacity against your heaviest load.
• Compare the full option table above before clicking through.

Reading the option tables

Every product page in this section has a full table of options. Each row is one size, length, fitting or pack quantity you can order, with its own US dollar price and stock status. Use the table to compare prices across sizes before you click through — the cheapest listing price is often for the smallest size or single pack, so check the row that matches what you actually need.
