I got the SAM 1200 with their wheel vice. I had always used the cradle type previously. Now that I have gotten used to the wheel vice I like it better, but it was definitely something that took some getting used to with the vice -vs- cradle. But after doing it a couple times by myself and getting a routine down it's not even a thought. But the cradle type will be easier on the nerves at first, when you're getting off the bike to put your tie down straps on... which you will always want to use with a wheel vice.
But if you're asking about the quality of one versus the other, I've never had a Condor... but the Handy one is fine and does it job, have had no issues with it.
I mounted these on the front corners of my lift, used with short soft straps.... makes getting it strapped down a breeze.
I am thinking of buying a Handy lift. Should I go with their wheel chock, or get something such as Condor? Thanks.
All the cradle wheel chocks are about the same....
If you want something truly super easy to use, and truly a one man operation, get a Wheel Dock chock...
I have one for each of my bikes. I use them on my trailer, for storage in my garage, and when I put a bike in my toy hauler RV. The only down size is that for perfect fit, they need to be matched to the front tire of the bike. Since all my bikes have different front tires, I eventually ended up with four Wheel Dock chocks... I got tired of mixing/matching the plastic spacer panels to make one chock fit multiple bikes...
But I still use a cradle wheel chock on my lift table. I don't want to have to switch Wheel Dock chocks each time I change which of my 4 bikes is going on the lift...
If you have one bike to put on your table, the Wheel Dock may be worth getting...

The tie down straps you mentioned a while ago in a thread, i bought a set for my Weaver lift. Worth every penny

I have the Wheel Dock mounted on my HF lift using their quick transfer bar, it holds the heavy Limited secure and is so easy to back the bike out of it.
I have the Wheel Dock.... just sitting on the garage floor. I park bike in it when I return from ride. Easy Peasy. Had a Harbor Freight wheel chock with the rocker....worked well for my Sportster. But I dragged the dang thing half way out of the garage trying to get my Street Glide out of it!! Wheel dock is simple in and out. Expensive, yes. But worth it to me!
