Default Wobbly wheel chock

My wheel chock was getting wobbly but this made a huge improvement

Bolted 2 pieces of 3/4” by 1”by 12” aluminum to the sides and one piece but shorter on the back, it’s a substantial improvement

My Condors go the other way, cradle goes to the area with the multiple holes.

Like Klammer said Condor does it different.


They are very stable.

I think the main difference that I can see,,,, is the way the lower gusset is made on the condor, the one located closest to the wheel and closest to the floor, the condor supports the through shaft with an aluminum extrusion on both sides of gusset center and the extrusion is bolted to the angle...., and mine is just a single piece of 1/2" aluminum.

It does not matter in my mind which end has the holes on it...

The main CONDOR improvement is that the gusset is bolted to the angle on each side and.............. the shaft holding the lower gusset is very short compared to mine with a long shaft and no support close to the gusset.

What brand is yours? It looks like a Condor that is assembled wrong.
