A pipe chock is essentially a pipe protection product used to secure pipes during transit and storage. This product is reliable, easy to apply, and has the capacity to hold up against all weather conditions. Pipe chocks will ensure the integrity and safety of pipes while they are being transported and while in storage. Each chock is wedged between pipes to provide stabilization. Plastic pipe chocks are made out of melded HPDE resin and have molded nail slots. Steel chocks have big holes to accommodate chains to secure heavy or large loads of pipe.
Pipe Chocks for Transportation
A load of pipes not properly secured can be easily shifted by any sort of accelerated back-and-forth motion. This can cause serious injuries to the transportation driver, other drivers, or pedestrians in the vicinity; it could even result in death. Oil residue is often present in the pipes being transported. Using pipe chocks is vital to securing this kind of load, as there is an additional danger when handling pipes with a slippery coating.
In addition, pipe chocks provide stability during sharp turns and inclement weather conditions. They prevent the widespread danger of the pipes becoming dislodged while being transported.
The pipe chocks are intermittently nailed throughout the pipe load to serve as wedges between all layers of the pyramid structure. They carry out the very important function of restricting any rollover or movement that can cause the pipes to fall from the trailer or bed during transit. Tie-downs are an additional safety measure used to keep pipe loads secured.
One of the great features of chocks is that their application and removal take just a few seconds. This is an extremely essential safety element when it comes to ensuring that pipes are securely transported and safely placed into storage.
