ABSTRACT:
A wheel chocking system for restraining road vehicles being transported on a vehicle support surface of a transport vehicle is disclosed. The support surface has a grating disposed in at least a wheel support area where one or more road vehicles are positioned. The grating is formed by a grid of rods to which is secured chock members at desired positions relative to the position of the wheels of the road vehicle positioned over the wheel support area. Each chock has a base with disengageable attachment members in a lower engaging surface thereof to immovably secure the chock to the grating. The chock has an angled face plate which is positioned relative to an outer tread surface of a tire of a wheel to restrain movement thereof. Load transmitting members transfer a load applied to the face plate onto the base member and into the grating secured to the support surface. A lateral restraining member is provided on a side of the face plate and disposed adjacent an inner side wall portion of the tire to prevent lateral shifting of the vehicle positioned on the support surface.
