Hoping someone can help with this convoluted question.

I am in the UK so don't enjoy the level of variety you get in the US

I have an Ultra and want to build a loading mechanism to get the bike in the back of my van. It is a tight fit so riding it in is not an option.

I must be able to load and unload on my own so I need to mount a front wheel chock on a ramp which I will then winch up.

So, 2 key questions:

Who makes most robust / best chock?

The fact that this will be mounted on a ramp changes the geometry, will a standard chock work in this configuration?

 

Not inexpensive, but IMHO, the very best. I've bought 4 (gave my son 2). Also, nice personal service.

I would look at Condor or smart chock.

 

We make the absolute, top of the line wheel chock in the World.... Check out our videos on our website. They're fully adjustable to fit any size wheel. You will not regret it. www.baxleycompanies.com

 

check with a towing co. , had my bike hauled in and the had a rig like a weel chock but had real small like nylon weels on it and was about 3 ft wide for balance , just pulled it right on

 

If I understand correctly, your cheapest option might be a set of these:

The simple loop chocks will work. They work better with two people, one to steady the bike while the other attaches the tie downs, but if you work out a system with your tie downs and hooks, one person can do it.
