MaxxHaul 70073 solid rubber heavy-duty wheel chock with eyebolt – 1 pack
If you don’t want your vehicle or trailer going walkabout, a good wheel chock is one of those small bits of kit that saves a lot of bother. This MaxxHaul chock is moulded from solid rubber so it grips rather than slips, and it’s built for proper heavy-duty use—chunky, straightforward and does exactly what it’s supposed to: keep the wheel put.
What it’s for
Whenever you need a wheel held steady—parking on a slope, loading or unloading a trailer, or leaving a caravan or motorhome parked for a spell—this chock is worth having to hand. Rubber beats plastic in greasy or wet conditions, giving extra bite when you need it most. Handy in winter or after a downpour, it’s one less thing to worry about.
Key features
- Solid rubber construction for a firm, non-marring hold against tyres; resists oil for improved traction.
- Wide base increases stability and rigidity so the chock stays put under load.
- Integrated steel eyebolt lets you chain or tether the chock for extra security or quick retrieval (chain not included).
- Compact but hefty: dimensions approximately 30.48 × 22.86 × 15.24 cm and weighs about 3.68 kg (3,680 g), so it won’t wander off but still stows neatly in the boot.
How to use it
Push the chock snug up against the tyre tread, placing it on the downhill side when parked on an incline. For steeper slopes, use two chocks (one either side of the wheel) and always apply the parking brake first. It won’t replace proper wheel-stand procedures, but it’s a solid, no-nonsense extra precaution.
Technical and practical notes
The rubber is oil-resistant and built to handle all sorts of weather, but no chock will perform well in deep mud or very loose gravel—try to pick a firm patch where possible. The steel eyebolt is handy for attaching a chain or rope when needed; remember the chain is not supplied. Despite being weighty enough to stay put, the chock’s size means it’s easy to stash in a boot or locker.
Worried about tyre damage? The rubber is much kinder than metal chocks and won’t gouge tyres under normal use. If you’re unsure about load limits for a particular vehicle, check the vehicle handbook or use extra chocks—better safe than sorry.
All told, the MaxxHaul 70073 is a simple, rugged bit of kit that gives proper peace of mind when parking, loading or leaving a trailer or caravan. No faff, no fuss—just reliable grip when it matters.
