I always like to come up with solutions..after the recent few accidents involving runaway trikes, mainly of the pull start variety, and having spent many hours flying a pull start windlass. I realised that after having a good look around, a decent wheel chock is not freely available in SA. Wood ones are OK but not contoured to "fit the wheel". Plastic are a bit light.
As my neighbours are an ally foundry, we designed and made them. They are cast ally, heavy enough to stop but light enough to carry, powder coated yellow with a long yellow tug rope, supplied with a small carry bag which doubles as a cooler bag when not used for the Tjokkies. A nice Christmas present for the pilot who has it all (but not Tjokkies).
They may be supplied with any branding or aircraft registration.
Ex works R290,00 a pair.

Centrifugal force in pure Physics does not exist, however this does not apply to Taxi drivers..
Re: Tjokkies
Now that is a brilliant idea for a safety product and the price is also really low.
Well done Zulu.

Hey Paul
The Tjokkies are awesome, and colour coded for my plane as well, Nogal.
Well worth getting yourselves a set!
