I bought a lift table from harbor freight and want to put a better chock than what is on the table as original. So, what suggestions do you have?
Thanks for your help.

Not sure what version you have but, I highly recommend a front wheel chock that also clamps onto the front tire. The lift table I had was one with a large clamping chock. Worked like a champ.
Loved it but, it took up way too much room in my shop so, now I'm working on building an attachment that I can use on my Valkyrie with my two post car lift.
I sold my lift table to a former Honda Tech who did side work in his home shop. He already had one lift table but, thought it would be nice to have another. About three weeks after he got it, he called and wanted to sell it back to me. Not because it didn't work right but, since he got it all his "buddies" were wanting to come over and use his "extra" lift table.

Do they make one like above that you drive in and secures/clamps better but somehow folds down somewhat flat and doesn't take up much floor space?
Reason why I ask is I am also looking for a wheel chock but for an enclosed trailer. I'm thinking a basic chrome pingle wheel chock will work that is removeable from the metal base that I have to screw down into the wooden floor. But, wondering if there is anything better that will fold flat somewhat able to drive over it with an ATV, etc.
Pingle wheel chock is cheaper am sure at 80 bucks or under, but willing to spend more if I can find either a removeable one or one that folds down that secures the front wheel better.

I ordered the clamp style from weaver for my table lift, really like the look of that one.
For the enclosed trailer, I use the Pingel removable style. They work very well and when removed there is very little left on the floor to interfere when hauling something else. And, I bought extra floor mounts to hang the chocks on the wall when not in use.

I have a Wheel-Dock in my enclosed trailer and it is fantastic! Removes easily and leaves nothing behind but 2 button head 1/2" screws when removed.

+1 on the WheelDock. I have one that I swap between my trailer and the garage (I use the optional Quick Detach Transport Bar on the trailer) and it works fast and easy and you don't have to yank the front wheel up out of the chock as with other chocks. http://www.wheeldock.com/ |
