SECOND TIME AROUND FOR PALLET TRUCK CHOCK

A product they couldn't shift first time around has become a surprise hit for commercial vehicle safety & security specialist Viper Guard.
The pallet truck chock is a polyurethane wedge with a v-slot in it that immobilises the truck's rear wheels. The weight of the truck itself holds the chock securely in position on any truck bed, whether wood or metal. The device means no more loose pallet trucks damaging vehicles and freight in transit, and it also means drivers don't have to risk back strain by laying the pallet truck on its side or lifting its wheels into a tyre.
"We tried it a couple of years ago and there wasn't much demand for it," says Viper Guard Sales Manager Nick Blake. "Then just before Christmas we started getting orders for it quite out of the blue and now it's becoming quite a strong seller for us.
"Basically, the pallet truck chock addresses a fairly widespread health and safety problem in a simple but ingenious way. And as fleet managers are becoming ever more concerned with the potential long-term costs of health and safety risks, the modest one-off price of our chock is a very attractive solution.
"The fact that it prevents the damage to truck and cargo that a loose pallet truck can cause makes the chock doubly attractive, and here at Viper Guard we're very pleased with the progress the chock is making."
