RE: Harbor Freight Wheel Chock

I used the bottom pivot hole. Looks like it fit the best.

Just picked mine up the other day, remember to print out the internet page and price and take that to the store so you get thelowest price. Otherwise it is 20 bucks more.
Also they seem to have them squirreled away in theback you have to ask for one.

I will be installingon my trailer this weekend.

You may wish to bolt it on and run nuts below the floor, You can weld nuts onto backing plates with a clearance hole for the mounting bolt(s) to go through the floor. You can than remove the chock at will. You mount the mounting nuts under the floor and bolt the welded mounting plates onto the flooring. Use washers and #8's. Use Stainless Steel bolts and Elastic Stop Nuts (fiber nuts) for this. If you need to get the plates off cleanly, no problem with SS fasteners down the road. Just a thought. You use the same bolts normaly used to bolt the unit down but the nuts stay in place.

What about bolting it to a large sheet of thick MDF? I don't want to perminately mount it to my garage floor...

just remember MDF will self destruct at the 1st sign of water. CDX plywood or OSB may be better option.

RE: Harbor Freight Wheel Chock

Thanks for the tip FastHarley, I think the idea of using self locking nuts is a good one and should be used for vibration purposes. Welding them into place will allow for a cleaner bed when I need to haul other things in the trailer.

Thanks again

RE: Harbor Freight Wheel Chock

I just mounted one on my lift. Now i just ride on and into the chock and get off. No more trying to reach the tire clamp crank with one hand. But i did need a hand backing out.
