1. Select suitable wheel chocks materials based on the actual situation, such as bricks with suitable height, weight and hardness, rough stones on the surface, and special wheel chocks for specific characteristics. The larger the slope or tire diameter of a general car parking area, the higher the height of the wheel chock material used, but its height should not exceed one-third of the tire height. Generally, the height of the wheel chocks should be between a quarter to a third of the tire diameter. It must have a certain weight and hardness to avoid the wheel chocks being easily moved or damaged under pressure during use. In addition, the surface of the wheel chocks in contact with the ground should be relatively rough to ensure sufficient friction with the ground and prevent the wheel chocks from sliding under force.
When the car is parked on a downhill section, wheel chocks should be placed in front of the rear wheels of the car, and if necessary, additional wheel chocks should be placed in front of the front wheels.
3. When parking on an uphill section, wheel chocks should be placed behind the rear wheels of the car, and if necessary, additional wheel chocks should be placed behind the front wheels.
4. When there is an object at the parking point in front of the car, to prevent it from colliding with the object in front, wheel chocks should be placed in front of the front wheels.
