Turtle Plastics - Cog Step Chock Combo™

The Cog Step Chock Combo™ by Turtle Plastics is a dual-function, high-stability extrication tool tailored for the fire and rescue sector. Engineered with an innovative cog-like incline integrated with a step-chock design, it enables rapid and secure stabilization of vehicles or platforms—all in a single, ergonomic motion.

Performance Requirements

1. Design & Functionality

• Incorporates a sliding wedge (cog) and incline mechanism that interlocks securely for robust stabilization. Flip the unit to deploy as a standard step chock for quick leveling and setup.

• Includes a new easy-grip handle for ergonomic deployment.

2. Dimensions & Weight

• Dimensions: 24 3/8″ × 6 5/8″ × 10 3/4″ (L × W × H)

• Weight (empty): Approximately 10.8 kg (24 lbs)

3. Load Capacity

• Working Load Limit:

  • Without cog engaged: 1,701 kg (2,722 lbs)

  • With cog engaged: 3,750 kg (6,000 lbs)

4. Construction & Compatibility

• Made from 100% recycled plastic, offering durability, resistance to oils, fuels, chemicals, and preventing splitting or splintering common with wood cribbing.

• Interlocks with Turtle Lock Blocks (Blox®) when additional lift or stability is needed.

Functional Objectives

• Provide a fast, one-motion stabilization, reducing deployment time in high-stress rescue environments.

• Enable flexible operation: use as a cog-and-wedge combo when maximum stability is needed, or simply flip to use as a standard step chock.

• Enhance modularity and adaptability via compatibility with Lock Blocks for height adjustment.

• Offer a safe, fiber-free alternative to wood—ideal for environments involving fluids, hygiene concerns, or contamination risk.
