Abstract
An improved wheel chock for use with wheeled vehicles, such as aircraft, that is both adjustable in size and that is configured for relatively easy transport, deployment and maneuverability by a single user is disclosed. The wheel chock preferably comprises a lifting end, a rolling end, at least one segment positioned between the lifting end and the rolling end, and a unique and adjustable wheel assembly. The adjustable wheel assembly may be at least partially housed in a pocket formed in the rolling end of the improved wheel chock. The wheel chock may further comprise a tether and an opening for removably attaching said wheel chock to a second wheel chock to prevent unwanted movement of a vehicle wheel in both forward and reverse directions.
