PitPosse.com 24" Motorcycle Recessed Wheel Chock
This time on WeberWorkscnc.com Reviews, I am taking a look
at PitPosse.com’s recessed motorcycle wheel chocks for my trailer. First off, Pit
Posse has a massive website dedicated to motorcycles including gear, tools,
safety and trailer accessories.
I just rebuilt the floors in my 5x10’ trailer and wanted to be able to use it to haul a bike or two. I was looking for a way to be able to take a bike safely but not modify the space in the floor so that it would be more difficult to haul other item. Along comes PitPosse.com. I decided to use their 24”x9” recessed wheel chock (http://pitposse.com/porewhchst.html) These are made out of about 1/8” formed steel and powder coated. There are drain holes in the bottom and it comes with all of your mounting hardware. The chock sits flush with the floor when not in use and is deep enough to hold your straps or some tools when closed. https://youtu.be/DV5wIfoUVvU
This is how I installed mine. Click on any photo to enlarge.
First step is to determine where you are going to locate the chock and make sure that there is no obstructions, wires or cross braces before you start.

First step is to determine where you are going to locate the chock and make sure that there is no obstructions, wires or cross braces before you start.
Check for obstructions
Begin measuring for the location of the chock
Measure for location
Center and square the chock then trace around the base of
the recessed section to determine the hole to be cut in the floor.
Measure and trace
Verify again that this is the location you want because you
are about to start cutting.
Verify
Start cutting the hole that you traced. You can use a
Sawsall, jigsaw, circular saw or whatever but start by cutting the hole on the
inside of the line. You want it to come out a bit small rather than too big.
You can always cut a bit more but if you cut too much, then the bolt holes will
not have enough material to hold onto.
Start cutting
Once you are able to fit the chock into the hole and it is
square, mark you bolt holes with a marker.
Mark your holes
Next, I added a bead of caulking to help keep out moisture
or dust from below.
Caulk it
Drill your holes and using the provided hardware, bolt down
the chock for good. Notice the extra clearance around the hinge location.
Bolt it in.
With the chock closed, you have all of the floor space that
you did before.
Closed and flush
The chock can hold a lot of straps or tools when not in use
as well.
Open with storage
