A vehicle transporting device includes a bogie frame, a total of eight arms, upper surface plates, and arm driving units. Two arms in a longitudinal direction of the bogie frame of the total of eight arms are paired with each other to support tires. The upper surface plates extend in a width direction of the bogie frame to support the arms. At least six arm driving units are provided on the bogie frame to individually drive at least six arms. Base end portions of pivoting arms are pivotably supported by the upper surface plates in outer peripheral regions of the upper surface plates. Tip portions of the pivoting arms are located outside the upper surface plates. One ends of the arm driving units are attached partway through the pivoting arms. The other ends of the arm driving units are located outside the bogie frame.

A vehicle chock device includes a first body portion and a stepped-box body integrally formed with the first body portion. The stepped-box body has a lower portion and an upper portion. The stepped-box body transitions from a first generally planar, generally horizontal surface on the lower portion to an intermediate sloped surface to a generally planar, generally vertical surface on the upper portion. The lower portion has a second generally planar, generally horizontal surface configured to engage a supporting surface of a carrier vehicle on which an automobile is disposed. An opposite side of the upper portion that is opposite the generally planar, generally vertical surface defines a tire-contacting surface that is positioned to engage a vehicle tire of the automobile while the second generally planar, generally horizontal surface engages the supporting surface of the carrier vehicle.

The present invention provides an adjustment mechanism for a wheel securement member of a vehicle carrier, and the vehicle carrier includes a frame and the wheel securement member swingably disposed on the frame. The adjustment mechanism includes a guiding assembly and a positioning assembly. The guiding assembly is adjustably positioned on a guiding rod configured to be disposed on the frame and includes a main body and a coupling member rotatably connected between the main body and the wheel securement member. The positioning assembly is connected with the guiding assembly and includes a biasing portion sleeved on the guiding rod, and the biasing portion is movable relative to the guiding rod between a restricting position and a release position.

The wheel chock is part of a wheel chock restraint system that also includes a base plate to prevent a parked vehicle from moving away in an unauthorized or accidental manner in a departure direction. The wheel chock includes a main body having a bottom base portion and a tire-engaging bulge. It also includes a tire deformation cavity, made within the main body on the tire-facing side. Teeth are provided underneath the bottom base portion of the wheel chock to engage at least one of the corresponding teeth provided on the base plate in a latched engagement. The wheel chock has an improved resistance to rollover and tipping when the wheel is pressed forcefully against the wheel chock.
