Safety Scotch (Wheel Chock)

Safety Scotch is a precision-engineered wheel restraint system designed to deliver maximum protection against unintended vehicle movement in rail depots, sidings, and maintenance environments.

Engineered Rail Protection. Zero Compromise.

 WHY IT MATTERS

Uncontrolled vehicle movement remains one of the highest-risk hazards in rail depots, leading to:

  • Serious injury or fatality risk 
  • Infrastructure damage 
  • Rolling stock damage 
  • Operational downtime and delays 

A robust, visible, and correctly applied Safety Scotch is a critical first line of defence.


Designed and built by Pete Briddon, the Safety Scotch enables a rail vehicle to be securely locked against unauthorised movement and has been used for over 35 years in the rail industry.

Protect Your Depot Today

Three sizes are currently available:

  • SS1 The original unit, improved in 2013/14, is intended for wheel sizes up to 4ft 6in (08 shunter)
  • SS7 The intermediate size, introduced at the behest of BR in the 1990s, suits the common '840 new, 770 worn' wheel size to be found on many modern emus and freight vehicles, but will also suit wheels outside that range, so equally suitable for B4 and B5 bogie stock, for example.
  • SS3 The smallest unit, intended for wheels under 770 diameter and down to around 450, is ideal for lighter vehicles like Engineers plant. For narrow gauge and Light Rail vehicles, whose flange profiles are significantly shallower than heavy rail, different position flange clips are provided to maintain security.
