Greetings All...I am seeking the wisdom/experience of the members/vistors of this site.

I am in the market for some E-Track series Wheel Chocks and am seeking some feedback regarding everyone's experience. At this point, I am reviewing Pingel's options. They can be found here...http://www.pingelonline.com/series_e_chock.htm

Any options regarding this or other E-Track options will be appreicated.

Thanks.

You can buy Pingel at lots of online sites.
Just don't pay retail by buying direct from them.

Have seen these chocks for years.
Probably best to talk to some trailer owners.
You know, like on the east coast or midwest.
Since they don't allow trailers in the great state of fruits and nuts.

Twolane.. Ya man That was one item that saves some time and worry [smiley=biggthumpup.gif] I am still looking for a lift for the garage. I'm still trying to find one that is not going to run into the 3k range. and not sure if air or mechanical lift is better for it. I've been told by a few that the air can be jerky or erratic. Still on the look.

MY, my lift is a pneumatic lift and it was a bit "jerky" when brand new. Had several lubrication points though. Did that and finger wiped a good coverage of grease on all the surfaces where it's rollers meet its tracks. After that it works fine. I paid less than 600 bucks for it if I remember correctly.

Twolane.. Now thats the cost I'm looking for [smiley=biggthumpup.gif] What is it?
How high does it go? I've got a fair amount of floor space, seeing as the garage is used for the most part for my bikes, so the overall size wouldnt be an issue. If it has a website let me know. [smiley=huepfenjump3.gif] Did you get a second Bike Pro or are you moving 1 around when it's needed?

MY, I just pulled the purchase record to double check what I paid for it. It's original price was $575.00 and I got for $525.00 because I bought it without their stock front chock. The company I got it from is at www.superlifts.com and they have the unit for sale on eBay too at item number 4576779500 .

One benefit for me is that I found this company and the lift they made is just fine; and the company is 45 minutes from my house. So I just picked it up there and didn't have any freight charge to pay.

I did go ahead and get a 2nd BikePro when I got the lift. The local bike shop had one for sale for 75 bucks because they'd lost the mount plate to it. I just bolted it down to the lift anyway so didn't care. It's great on the lift though. Just drive the bike on, the wheel chock raises the nose of the bike, the bike just stands there and you're done [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] .

Twolane.. Sweet, I'll check that out and see what the deal is to get it and to here! I had a shot at getting an electric lift of a friend of mine, this spring time and was waiting for him to get healthy again! soas not to be bothering him during that time [smiley=cry2.gif] he didnt get healthy, and he's gone, and his stuff is now in some weird family situation so I've blown it off.. Poor Mike, Bye Mike, now is riding on the backside of our bikes! He'll be missed [smiley=ons_1.gif]

Thanks again Twolane

My,

Do you have a Harbor Freight near you? I'm told by a couple people they have a 300 dollar motorcycle lift that is pretty nice. I havent been able to go and see it for myself but plan to soon. Could be made by the same people. Check it out. I see it on thier website at www.harborfreight.com its worth a look.

here you go. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=91764

I think it looks cheap in the picture, but, I'm still going to go see it live and in person. Just to satisfy my curiousity. [smiley=cool2.gif]

CVOwner, That look slike a pretty good deal, I have their bike jack and its made pretty damn good able to slide under with me having to put the bike on wood or such. so I would think their lift would be as good but if your going to go see it I'll wait to hear from you. No we dont have Harbor Freight local, UPS from them.. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif] thanks for the info MYCVO
