Default Lift table wheel chock recommendtions

I'l be picking up a 1500 # air lift table in 2 weeks and am looking for wheel chock recommendations.

It comes with a vise type wheel chock but I would prefer one that can be rolled into and out of easily but is stable enough to support the bike while I tie it down.
I also plan on parking the bike on the lift to conserve floor space and have ordered 12" wide side supports for a 48" inch wide table.

Have been using a Pit Bull jack and it's great but these old bones need something more comfortable to use while working on the bike.

Thanks in advance.

If a good easily used safe one is 250.00, it's worth that to me.

Condor is very good. However, I don't know if they meet your needs with the table though.

I like the K&L supply wheel chock. I replaced the vise that came with my table with it. I really like it, not cheap though, I think it was about 220$ from directcyleparts.com. I still use tie downs 2 be safe though. The pic has my wife's bike on it, but I pull my deluxe right into it on the table, real easy! If I remember correctly I had to drill some new holes in the table but no big deal.

When using a vise type wheel chock, you open it to the point that it will hold the front tire loosely while supporting the bike while you tie it down or tighten the vise. You can make a mark on the deck for the correct vise opening, or set it with a block of wood. I think this is easier than wrestling the bike out of a front wheel chock. I used this method with a Handy Hoist that I had.

Thanks everyone for all the great ideas.

I just want to be able to secure the bike by myself and not have to worry about it going north or south before it's tied down!
