Automatic Wheel Chock System : Calematic®

To ensure optimum safety and guaranteed vehicle immobility, Glomot Penot Systèmes has developed an automatic wheel locking system for use during the loading/unloading of vehicles. The Calematic™ offers total reliability and helps to guarantee there is no risk of accidents involving people or equipment.

The Calematic™ consists of a set of retractable wheel chocks stored underneath the vehicle platform. On arrival of a truck to the loading bay, the warehouse operator pushes a button which causes the chocks to be raised and set into place. The vehicle is now immobilised. Only at this point can the operator open the gate to lower the ramp. Loading and unloading is now risk free. Once loading/unloading has concluded, the warehouse operator lifts the ramp and closes the gate. Then, and only then, will the system activate to lower the chocks. Once chocks have been lowered, the truck is free to leave the docking area.

A Simple and Reliable System:

• Calematic™ has no engines, ball bearings, or complicated mechanical parts to deal with.
• The system is powered though dry compressed air, thus there is no risk of oil leaks, making it environmently friendly.
