Rubber wheel chocks come in two constructions: traditional Segment Type (assembled from multiple pieces bolted with metal hardware) and Rohnil's Fully Moulded Monolithic type (single-piece EPDM, zero metal).

Why Fully Moulded Wins
No Metal — Critical for Aviation
Aviation regulations require wheel chocks with zero metal near aircraft. Segment-type chocks with nuts and bolts are not permitted. Rohnil's monolithic EPDM chocks are the only fully certified option for aviation.
No Sparking — Critical for Fuel Areas
Metal-to-metal friction can cause sparking — a severe hazard near fuel tankers, petrol depots, and aviation fuelling operations. Fully moulded chocks eliminate this risk entirely.
Lower Total Cost of Ownership
Segment chocks may have lower initial cost, but ongoing repair costs, replacement bolts, and shorter lifespan make them more expensive over time. Rohnil's fully moulded chocks have zero maintenance cost.
First in India — Monolithic EPDM Rubber Wheel Chocks
All 6 Rohnil rubber wheel chock variants are fully moulded, zero metal. Custom sizes and colours available.
