Wheel Guides & Wheel Chocks
Review vehicle alignment and wheel restraint. Chock availability needs separate confirmation. Final selection depends on the documented site conditions and the supplying manufacturer’s configuration.

Where to consider this arrangement
Review vehicle alignment and wheel restraint. Chock availability needs separate confirmation.
- Confirm vehicle rear geometry.
- Confirm mounting positions and foundations.
- Confirm signals and control interfaces.
When to review alternatives
Do not select this arrangement if the required working space, mounting conditions or operating envelope cannot be demonstrated. Existing equipment and civil works must be measured before a replacement is proposed.

| Parameter | Review catalogue entry | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Signals / loading light | JD-2301 / JD-2302 | Confirm voltage, controls and exact light specification. |
| Guides / bollard | JD-2303–JD-2305 / JD-2306 | Confirm geometry and mounting. |

Open technical items: Accessory family images are not an inclusive package. Explosion-protection claims lack evidence and the guide-rail Direction column is ambiguous. Individual availability requires confirmation.
What should be checked?
Agree the inspection scope with the supplying manufacturer before order. Relevant checks include dimensions against the approved drawing, component identity, mounting details, visible condition, applicable functional checks, marking and packing.
Inspection records to agreeWhat configuration is required?
Describe the operating sequence and site constraints. Confirm materials, finish, electrical requirements and control interfaces where applicable. Options shown in reference illustrations are not automatically included in the order.
Know what your quotation includes
Compare the same equipment and installation scope. Ask for an itemised offer showing the selected configuration, included items and exclusions.
No universal standard package is confirmed in this review. Agree the following scope before comparing prices.
| Scope to identify | Written confirmation to request |
|---|---|
| Restraint, alignment, impact protection or signalling function | Exact model, construction and drawing revision. |
| Mounting geometry, foundations and cables where relevant | Included equipment, separately priced options and excluded site work. |
| Vehicle compatibility and operating sequence | Interfaces, responsibilities and required documentation. |

Components and replacement enquiries
Identify the installed equipment before requesting a component. Include nameplate details, overall photographs, interface close-ups and measurements. Replacement availability and compatibility are confirmed for the individual request.
Prepare a parts requestRead before you specify
Vehicle restraints, wheel chocks and dock bumpers: what is the difference?
These devices address different interfaces. A vehicle restraint requires compatibility with its specified vehicle engagement arrangement; a wheel chock acts at a wheel; a dock bumper provides a contact interface at the dock face. They are not automatically interchangeable. Selection and operating procedures require a site-specific safety review.
Dock leveler pits and embedded parts: what to confirm
Use the approved drawing for the selected leveler to define pit and embedded-part requirements. Measure existing pits and resolve differences before ordering equipment or starting civil works.
Dock shelter vs dock seal: selection questions
A foam dock seal uses compressible pads at the vehicle interface, while shelter arrangements use curtains or inflatable elements around the opening. Compare the vehicle fleet, contact geometry and operating conditions before choosing.
Questions before you specify
What should be separated in a guide and chock enquiry?
Describe vehicle alignment requirements separately from wheel-restraint requirements. Provide the approach geometry and vehicle information; confirm wheel-chock availability and suitability as an individual item.
Is JD-2016 a complete order specification?
A product-family reference is not a complete order specification. Record dimensions, load conditions, controls, installation interfaces and the agreed supplier configuration in the project documents before ordering.
Can I use an existing pit or mounting position?
Existing interfaces need to be measured and checked against the selected equipment drawing. Do not assume that similar equipment has the same fixing, clearance or structural requirements.
What if I do not have all the dimensions?
Start with site photographs and any available drawings. Leave unknown values blank in the project brief and identify them for confirmation. A dimensioned drawing and site verification are needed before final selection.
