Draper 125 x 60 x 78mm rubber wheel chocks – reliable pair for caravans and vehicles
These Draper wheel chocks are a proper, handy bit of kit for stopping wheels from rolling when a vehicle is parked or you’re working underneath it. Made from tough, high-friction rubber, they shrug off weather, mud and the odd bit of rough handling — very welcome in winter. Supplied as a pair, they tuck away neatly in the boot or under a seat, so there’s no faffing about when you need them.
Why these chocks work
The triangular wedge shape gives positive mechanical purchase against the tyre, so they hold a vehicle steady on a slope or while you’ve got a jack and axle stands in use. The rubber grips both tyre and ground, cutting down on slip on firm surfaces. They’re dead easy to use — push up to the tyre and they do the rest.
Practical details and specifications
Useful facts for comparison or fitting:
- Material: rubber for weather resistance and grip.
- Size: listed as 125 x 60 x 78 mm (manufacturer dimensions also recorded as 14.7 × 8.6 × 8.4 cm), so they’re compact but effective.
- Weight: approximately 690 g for the pair — light enough to carry on trips.
- Model: Draper 54500, colour: blue.
When to use them
Great for caravanners, trailer owners, mechanics using a trolley or scissor jack, and anyone who parks on a sloping drive. Typical uses include:
- Securing a caravan wheel while hitching up or levelling.
- Stopping a vehicle rolling while you change a tyre or check the brakes on a gradient.
- Giving added security when using jacks and axle stands, to reduce the risk of roll-back.
Things to bear in mind
They perform best on firm, level or only slightly uneven ground. On soft surfaces, place a hardboard pad or use a more substantial ramp beneath the chock for better support. Always double-check placement and make sure there’s good contact with the tyre before relying on them — a small habit that pays off.
Draper’s been making sensible, well-built tools for decades, and these chocks follow that no-nonsense approach: no fiddly setup, just a simple, reliable way to stop unwanted movement and give you a bit of peace of mind when parking or working on a vehicle.
