Mining Wheel Chocks are vital for mining safety
Giant mining wheel chocks that look like a piece of bright yellow Swiss cheese are the new kind of cool in mining. You can find them online at Checkers.com along with many other wheel chocks that are enormous in size and all look very functional. Not all wheel chocks used in mining have to look cheesy, pardon the pun. The main goal is that they are durable, right size, safe and resistant to all types of damage and stressful work.
Wheel Chock Durability
A very important concern in the mining industry is how durable is the equipment you work with. A wheel chock can be made from several different materials including rubber, aluminum, steel and urethane. Some of them can even be combined with a rubber or urethane chock with a metal base to use in extra rough terrain and icy conditions. Any of the materials mentioned above would not be used if they were not a tough material, yet some of them will last longer because they cannot rust or break down. The high density urethane with a polyurethane casing is most likely your best bet for it will last for many years without damage – more about that later. Some will come with bolted rubber pad bases that will ensure the non-slip value of the chock. Each wheel chock should have guidelines for working with the huge chock molded or written on it, and if not, they will be featured in the materials that come with it.
Safety is the Goal
Your chock should be rated for use with mining equipment, that is, they should meet the standards of the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Mine haul trucks can have a tire size from 110" to 165" and load capacities up to 400 tons. The rating will ensure that your mining wheel chocks are resistant to the sometimes harsh terrain of a mine and the surrounding territory. The mining chocks you purchase should also be the appropriate size for your giant equipment trucks and should be tested to make sure they can fit securely on the center of the wheel when placed.
The basic rules of chocking are to place the vehicle in the Park position, put on the emergency brake and only then put the chocks in place. A rolling mine truck is not a pleasing sight to visualize. The wheels should be chocked in the direction of the grade, in both sides in most cases. Another important note is to make sure that you remove the chocks before moving the vehicle. A wheel chock warranty will be voided if they have been forced over.
Working with Wheel Chocks
Most mining wheel chocks will be bright yellow or an orange/red in color. This is for high visibility for MSHA inspectors to observe and will also remind the driver to remove them as he approaches the truck. The urethane chocks are tough and resistant to fuels, oils, solvents and many of the chemicals they may be exposed to in a mining environment. Depending on the size of the mining vehicle, wheel chocks can range in size from the Chockzilla chock size of 30 x 22 x 22 and weighing in at 77 pounds, to a petite 19 pounder that's 15 x 15 x 11. The smaller sizes can be purchased for the mining support vehicles such as lubrication trucks and heavy maintenance assistance. The grander sizes are available with a chock cart to wheel it around, as well as handles to grab it and put it on the cart. The smaller sizes may have a built-in handle and mounting brackets to place the chocks on the back of the truck or on the cart.
Mining wheel chocks are important in the mining industry, but a wheel chock for your own car or trailer is a good idea too.

i have bacterial vaginosis and i am on some kinda med?
im pretty sure its an anti-biotic..
my doctor told me that i might get a yeast infection from the anti-biotics anyways i think im getting a yeast infection and i want to stop taking the med because 1. i cannot swallow the pill[due to a large -not- removable retainer at the roof of my mouth] & it takes far too much space...I keep chocking on it and throwing up. 2. headaches and tired from it. and 3. i think i have a yeast infection..
QUESTION IS : what else can i do to make it go away? Will anything bad happen apart from not get better [it already is kinda] if i dont take them ?
You need to complete the medication! Untreated, it might lead to pelvic inflammatory disease, not to mention making you highly uncomfortable! The medication also comes in a form that can be given vaginally (ick, I know, but it works) so I would call your doctor and have him call that in for you and ask him to call in oral fluconazole so that you treat the yeast, too! Good luck.
