Wheel chocks are required by OSHA in three specific situations, none of them in the DOT vehicle equipment rules.

It ends with a worked dock-to-racking example using rated equipment.

This guide maps stations to dock, racking and mezzanine, settles the Class A or B call by shift size and forklift density, and sets the stocking workflow.

The NIOSH lifting equation decoded: the 51-lb load constant, all six multipliers with tables, a worked warehouse example, and the Lifting Index thresholds that say when to switch to equipment.
