Locomotive Transfer Table Chock

Blue Steel Next-Gen Locomotive Wheel Chock

Locomotive Truck Shop Transfer Table Wheel Chocks 

We had some customers using this old style bolt-down style chock as pictured below, the metal became fatigued quickly and the impact torqued bolts should have been serviced after every use.  Not only did they need to replace them frequently they were dangerous with minimal holding capacity.  When the traction motors were being removed and installed these clamps slid on the rail without warning.  They have many unsafe drawbacks.

Bolt down style chock

The Old Bolt down style chock has numerous drawbacks.

  1. Chock bolts must be replaced often due to fatigue, reusing a torqued bolt is not recommended.
  2. The likely danger of a torqued bolt breaking due to over tightening.
  3. Chock components bend, reducing clamping strength.
  4. Equipment failure resulting can cause the accidental movement of the traction motor during removal or installation.
  5. Bumping the chock changes alignment needed for proper motor installation
