wheel chocks
Prevent vehicle rolling
Wheel chocks are wedge-shaped blocks placed against vehicle wheels to prevent rolling.
They're standard equipment at airports, where ground crews place them against aircraft wheels during boarding, and in trucking, where drivers chock wheels before loading.
The pilot waited for the ground crew to remove the wheel chocks before taxiing.
