Default Wheel chock

I bought a new lift table from harbor freight and got their more expensive wheel chock. Th bike was not running at the time because I was doing inner fairing work. Anyway I could not even push the bike into the thing to get the front wheel locked in. What kind of chock does everybody have and do you guys like it. Need some advice.

You need the black one. They have. It has the tail you drive over.. Bolt it down about 3 inches over the front of the lift.
I usually drive up. But once its in . no straps.. no problem. See if I can find a pic.

I guess this is the only pic I have.. You can see it...
It is for setting on the ground. It has a cross bar that you don't use. Just bolt it to your table.. I don't know what I would do without my lift.

And if you do have the black one that's been mentioned make sure you adjust the back stop in one hole, so the chock is a little smaller. Keeps the front wheel up a bit but makes it a lot easier to get the bike in and out of it.

yep, the black one is the one to have and do like the above post says and you'll have no problems.

Ok, that is good. I do have the black one, but I must not have had the rollover part pinned up enough. I felt like it was going to hit my fender.

Default Wheel Chocks

For on the floor or trailer I use a Condor Chock. Great product!! Adjustable for most tire sizes, light and sturdy.

The chock on my table(Direct-Lift) is simple but effective. Hand crank to "pinch" the tire so no tie down needed. Jaws have rubber padding so will not damage the wheel.

That's the vice that HF table lifts used to come with, then they cheapened them up a bit.

I do like a wheel chock though, ride up step off. I don't strap mine unless I'm wrenching hard.
