The Benefits of Using Polyurethane Aviation Wheel Chocks.

Wheel chocks are a very important component in Aviation safety. When purchasing aviation wheel chocks, two of the material choices available are wood and polyurethane. While wood wheel chocks were the first aviation chocks designed and they are still in use in many locations, upgrading to polyurethane wheel chocks is a smart choice for a number of reasons.
One of the most important reasons for using polyurethane wheel chocks is safety.
Choosing a polyurethane product that is more structurally sound is far more important than saving a little money upfront on lower priced wood models, because it will eventually cost more in the long run. AtCheckers Industrial Safety Products, we see safety as an investment and not a cost, which is why we have become one of the largest manufacturers of quality wheel chocks in the world.
The major advantages to choosing polyurethane aviation wheel chocks over those made from wood include:
Polyurethane wheel chocks outperform and hold up better than wood wheel chocks.
While their initial cost is higher than wood, polyurethane wheel chocks are a much better value in the long term.
Polyurethane aviation wheel chocks are tested and approved for military use.
Unlike wood, polyurethane wheel chocks are resistant to fuels, oils, and lubricants.
Polyurethane wheel chocks require no maintenance or painting (wood chocks require regular painting).
Wood wheel chocks can crack, splinter, and rot, which can result in foreign object damage to aircraft and injury to personnel.
Wood wheel chocks exposed to wet conditions soak up water, which makes them heavy and hard to handle.
The structural integrity of wood wheel chocks can be compromised as a result of warping, rotting, or cracking. None of these are an issue with polyurethane wheel chocks.
