Wheel Locks Can Maximise Your Security

According to the US Department of Labor, fatal accidents in the US mining industry claimed the lives of 29 workers in 2020. Vehicle-related accidents contribute to a large proportion of these accidents year after year and underline the need for appropriate mining safety equipment, such as wheel blocks.

Wheel blocks are wedges made of strong materials, such as polyurethane or rubber, that are placed on the wheels of vehicles to prevent accidental movement. Wheel blocks are particularly important in a mining environment, as handling trucks, milling machines and conveyors are constantly moving in different directions, putting workers at risk on a daily basis. TIANHAIDA shows you the importance.

The importance of wheel blocks

When used correctly, wheel stops are effective safety devices. To ensure maximum safety for workers and equipment, it is the end user's responsibility to make the final decision on the appropriate wedge for the vehicle should a situation arise. You cannot simply test a pair of wheel bearing blocks on a specific vehicle in a specific class and make the broad assumption that the wheel bearing blocks will support the same truck every time. 

There are a myriad of variables that must be considered when selecting the most appropriate wheel block for each application. Thorough testing must be completed at each location to ensure that a particular wheel bearing block meets its specific bearing block requirements. In addition, wheel stops need to be visually inspected periodically for cracks, chips or other deterioration that would indicate the need for replacement.
