Height Sticks, Tire Skates and Wheel Chocks FAQ

What is a height stick used for?

A height stick measures the height of a load or of a vehicle on a deck so you can compare it with the overhead clearances on your route. Always confirm the posted clearances on your route and your state's height limits.

What is the difference between the two 15 ft height sticks?

The orange stick is a telescoping stick that weighs 5.7 lb. The yellow stick is a three-stage collapsible fiberglass stick that measures from 5 ft 6 in to 15 ft and folds to 5 ft 6 in. Both have a 4 ft arm.

What are tire skates used for?

A tire skate slides under a tire so a heavy tire can be moved across a surface. Each GO-TOW tire skate has a 4,000 lb working load limit. With a skate under every tire, they can be used to move and maneuver a vehicle.

How many wheel chocks do I need?

The 9 lb chock listing advises placing at least two chocks directly against the tire or wheel after the vehicle is in park and the brake is set. Rules vary, so check your local jurisdiction.
