Abstract
A vehicle chocking system includes a control panel positionable within a vehicle for remotely operating the system. The system further includes a housing and a power source for supplying power to the system. The housing includes a motor disposed therein and electrically connected to the control panel. The system further includes a chock arm pivotally connected to the motor and a tire chock connected to the chock arm and engageable with a vehicle tire for preventing same from rotating in a predetermined direction. The chock arm includes an elongated pin connected thereto and extending outwardly therefrom. The tire chock has a slot formed therein for receiving the pin so that the tire chock can be engaged with, and disengaged from, a vehicle tire. The system further includes a plurality of collars securable to each other and engageable about a vehicle axle for assisting to maintain same at a non-rotating position.
