Abstract
Provided is a chocking device, including a frame, a plate, and a stop. The frame has an uppermost surface and a lowermost surface opposite the uppermost surface. The plate has a contact surface and is movable between a first position, wherein a portion of the contact surface is substantially coextensive with the uppermost surface of the frame, and a second position, wherein the portion of the contact surface is between the uppermost and lowermost surface of the frame. The stop is coupled to the frame and arranged in direct contact with the plate. The stop is rotatable such that movement of the plate from the first position to the second position rotates the stop from a first to a second stop position. The plate is movable such that the contact surface is substantially parallel when the plate is in the first and second positions.
