Wheel chock with anti-slip steel base – yellow 39 × 16 × 17 cm
This wheel chock is a tidy bit of kit that does what it’s supposed to when you need it. Made from tough plastic with a reinforced steel base plate, it holds a vehicle steady on driveways, ramps or lumpy ground. The high-visibility yellow is a boon in dim garages or busy yards, and the honeycomb tread bites into the tyre rather than letting it slide off.
Practical details and specifications
The chock measures 39 × 16 × 17 cm and weighs around 1 kg (about 1000 g) — chunky enough to do the job but light enough to grab by the built-in handle. This is Berry model CH 12065. The main body is durable plastic with a steel bottom plate to stop it slipping on smooth or angled surfaces.
- Size and weight balanced for portability and stopping power.
- Honeycomb pattern increases contact area with the tyre for improved grip.
- Steel base adds extra friction on concrete, tarmac or metal ramps.
Where and when this helps
Perfect for motorists who need to stabilise a vehicle while loading up, doing roadside maintenance, hitching a trailer or parking on a slope. Ideal for workshops, builders’ yards, farms and anyone who spends time towing. It’s especially handy in winter when driveways go icy — gives you that extra bit of confidence when you’re working around the wheels.
Use and safety tips
- Place the chock snug against the tyre tread and, where possible, use a pair for longer-term parking.
- Always apply the handbrake and try to use on firm, level ground; the steel base helps on smooth surfaces but check the ground first.
- Keep clear of moving parts and don’t rely solely on a chock for heavy-duty lifting or major repairs — it’s a safety aid, not a substitute for axle stands or proper lifting kit.
Some folks ask whether a plastic chock can handle heavier vehicles. This reinforced design is intended for cars, SUVs, trailers and many light commercial vehicles; for heavy trucks or very long-term storage you might want a larger or specialist chock. All told, the Berry wheel chock is a straightforward, no-nonsense tool that saves faff and gives peace of mind when you’re working near the wheels.
Package includes one yellow plastic wheel chock (CH 12065) with steel base and integrated handle. Simple, effective and easy to keep in the boot.
