Spark-Proof Urethane Heavy-Duty Single Wheel Chock
Aldon's spark-proof urethane wheel chocks are built for heavy-duty railroad applications, designed to secure locomotives and freight cars.
Made from non-sparking urethane, these single wheel chocks are a reliable choice for environments where spark hazards are a concern. Engineered for demanding rail operations, they offer a practical solution for keeping rolling stock safely in place during loading, unloading, or maintenance.

- 4017-42 is for use on exposed rail ONLY
- 4017-43 is for use on flush rail ONLY
Benefits:
- Tough enough to block a tank car
- Resilient enough that the car can be pulled over the chock by a locomotive without derailing
- No more trying to yank free a steel chock that is stuck under a wheel
- When it’s time to move, just pull the car over the chock and retrieve the chock later
Caution:
- Designed for powered railcar movers with wheels 12” to 24” dia.
- Rail sizes 90 to 141 lbs. yd.
- Use on flat track only. Chock will not hold on a grade.
- Set brake of vehicle before installing chocks.
- Install against flanged steel wheel, not the rubber tire.
- Do not use on greasy or oily rail, as chock will slide.
- Keep fingers and hands away from vehicle wheels. Watch your head!
- Always use with rubber cord provided. (Replace if missing.) Cord is needed for proper chock tensioning.
