SAE AIR4905A Accreditation

Vulcascot wheel chocks are engineered to keep vehicles, equipment, and aircraft securely in place. Designed and manufactured in the United Kingdom, they combine decades of rubber engineering experience with proven reliability across aviation, transport, logistics, construction, and industrial sectors.

Now accredited to SAE AIR4905A, the recognised international standard for aviation wheel chocks, Vulcascot products meet and exceed global expectations for vehicle safety and ground support performance.

 

Engineered for Real-World Conditions

 

Each chock starts with a high-density rubber compound formulated for strength, grip, and endurance. Instead of profiles simply resisting wear, it actively absorbs impact, maintains shape under pressure, and grips firmly on rough or uneven ground. Whether securing an aircraft, HGV, trailer, or site vehicle, Vulcascot chocks perform where safety cannot fail.

They provide:

• Secure grip on tarmac, concrete, gravel, and hangar floors

• Resistance to fuel, oil, de-icing fluid, and chemicals in harsh environmental exposures

• Structural stability through extreme heat and cold

• Extended service life that reduces replacement and downtime costs

 

Design and Handling

Vulcascot chocks are designed to make daily operations faster, safer, and more reliable. A contoured base maximises surface contact and prevents slippage, while the chock’s balanced geometry distributes pressure evenly across the tyre. Operators can use the rope handle options for quick, ergonomic positioning — reducing strain and improving efficiency in busy work environments.

Optional reflective markings enhance visibility in low-light conditions, and bespoke branding or numbering supports fleet identification and site safety systems. With a full range of profiles and sizes available, Vulcascot wheel chocks are suitable for light vehicles, plant machinery, heavy goods transport, and aircraft of all sizes.

 

SAE AIR4905A Certification

The SAE AIR4905A standard sets the benchmark for aircraft wheel chock performance, specifying load capacity, compression strength, and long-term material resilience. Achieving this accreditation confirms that Vulcascot’s manufacturing and testing processes meet the same standards used by global aviation authorities.

This certification gives customers confidence that their rubber wheel chocks will perform safely in every environment — from airport operations to loading bays and construction sites.

 

Quality and Reliability – Trusted Worldwide

 

Quality runs through every step of our production process. Each batch undergoes dimensional checks and performance testing to ensure complete consistency. Sustainability is equally important. We minimise waste where possible, and design for longevity to reduce overall environmental impact.

Vulcascot wheel chocks are used worldwide in applications from airports and defence bases to distribution hubs and construction sites, Vulcascot wheel chocks are relied upon wherever safety is non-negotiable. Their robust design, accredited quality, and proven reliability make them the preferred choice for organisations that demand results, not compromises.

By combining certified quality with practical design, Vulcascot provides more than a product — we provide confidence. Whether securing an aircraft, a trailer, or heavy equipment, Vulcascot wheel chocks stand for engineered reliability and total peace of mind.
