Those in industry who are looking to stabilize products and equipment — such as preventing pipes in cargo from shifting during transportation — will find high-quality wood chocks and wedges at Wedge-It in Kitchener-Waterloo.
Chocks and wedges are those fixtures that prevent unstable articles, such as pipes or equipment, from moving. Chocks and wedges are indispensable in a wide range of industries, such as shipping, warehousing, transportation, construction, mining and literally anywhere that there’s a requirement to secure an item to prevent damage or injury.
Wheel chocks are one example. Wheel chocks consist of a durable material that gets placed against a vehicle’s wheels to secure that vehicle and prevent accidental movement. Wheel chocks are those things you see at the base of aircraft landing gear. In transportation and warehousing, drivers are often notified to chock their wheels to prevent the movement of a vehicle during loading and unloading. In the mining industry, wheel chocks are set against the wheels of heavy-duty parked vehicles to mitigate the risks associated with movement and slipping.
Pipe chocks and pipe wedges are other forms of stabilizing fixtures that are indispensable in transportation and industrial applications. For long-haul trucking, shipping and exporting, pipe chocks are crucial for safety as well as to ensure product stability. Chocks and wedges stabilize loads — something that’s crucial for reliable delivery as well as protecting the investment. But the full range of uses for wood chocks and wedges is virtually unlimited: Common uses include for millwrighting and fabricating, for equipment installation, and for levelling equipment.
