After reading several positive reviews on this forum, I decided to purchase a Harbor Freight Chock for use in the garage. Works fine except for sliding forward when putting the bike in the chock and sliding back when removing the bike. Is there anyway to use this chock on a garage floor without drilling the floor and attaching it with lags? Suggestions?

 

What about a 4x8x5/8 sheet of plywood, mouted so the bike is sitting on the wood also. I have tried it but seems to me it could'nt fall. Maybe someone has a better solution.


Have not tried it!!!

 

Place it on a rubberized mat :-)

 

Have a friend stand in front of it using his weight to keep it from sliding while he holds your beer.

 

I pretty much did a combo of what other posters said. I had a scrap piece of 7/8" plywood in the garage so I cut out a piece 40"W X 30"L. Drilled the holes and countersunk the nuts on the bottom side. I put it on a rubber back mat on the concrete. Paid $33 for the chock with 20% off coupon and luckily had the other items laying around. Very convenient ...... Troop

 

put 4 3/16" tapcon screws into the concrete. if you take it out you'd be hard pressed to see the holes. 2 would probably do it.

 

I bolted mine to the floor. Under where I park the truck.

 

I'd either do the permanent mount (tapcon), or the plywood base idea. If you have a spot in the garage for your scoot - go ahead and drill it down...would be added security if you chain lock it to the bike too.

 

I lay a 7' board on the front of the chock and the other end of the board is against the back wall under the work bench. The board holds the chock in place rolling the bike onto the chock. The weight of the front end on the chock holds it in place when backing off.

 

Just use it today, first time. The board in front of the chock work fine, no problem backing off.
