ABSTRACT:
A chock for use in securing four wheel vehicles to a deck mounted rail of a transport carrier is formed of a polymer body which has a pocket formed and adapted to mount the body laterally over a deck mounted rail having a series of transverse openings. A pin is mounted in the body for movement into a rail opening to secure the chock to the rail. The pin is mounted in a bushing which is encased in the polymer chock body and there is a vertical load member extending upwardly from the bushing, with the vertical load member being encased in the polymer chock body to distribute vertical loads through the body. The pocket has spaced walls which extend generally parallel to and closely adjacent the rail. Portions of the pocket walls adjacent the termination of the pocket at the exterior of the chock body are recessed away from the rail so that a transverse load applied to the chock, which causes the pocket walls to contact the rail, is distributed over a substantial portion of the chock body adjacent the pocket walls and from the pocket exterior toward the pocket interior.
