All-Weather Wheel Chocks

Specify Sauber Mfg. Co. All-Weather Wheel Chocks for safety. The grip strut face locks wheels tight on all surfaces in all weather conditions. The chock face grips tight to the tire surface while the motion of the tire wedges the chock between the wheel and the ground. The orange urethane grip handle is highly visible and reminds users to deploy and retrieve it. It is comfortable and easy to grip with gloved or bare hands.

All-Weather Wheel Chocks are unconditionally guaranteed against breakage for the life of the equipment they protect. Available with holders for every application, Sauber All-Weather Wheel Chocks continue to protect people and property decades after we designed and patented them.

Bolt-on Swivel D-Ring

This is the only D-ring that has both the benefit of being replaceable and easily added or relocated without welding. In fact, our D-rings contain no welds at all due our bolt-together design. The ring is supported by our C95700 aluminum bronze backer casting, making it an unrivaled, exceptionally tough solution. Both the D-ring itself and the attachment bracket are hot-dipped galvanized, and the assembly is rated at a 9,120-lb. working load limit.

Our side-mounted D-rings allow for an unobstructed deck, which is particularly helpful with wide equipment.

Winch Binder with Strap Choices

Ratchet-type binders are known as chin-busters and back-strainers for good reason. Finding that next tooth position to provide the right strength and torque is often frustrating and dangerous.

We offer self-locking, worm gear winch binders to eliminate a risk to safety with a 5500# capacity. They’re simple to use with the ability to hold tension at all times. With highly durable component materials and finishes, it is safer, easier to use and longer lasting than ratchet type binders. After thousands of installations in the field, they are tested and preferred by users across the U.S. and Canada. Our galvanized crank handle makes the operation smooth and simple. The 4″W nylon straps are color coded to identify length, for simple, correct replacement. Right-sized straps eliminate excessive strap tails after securement. Heavy duty hooks are installed opposite binders to secure the strap D-ring.
