Securing inside a trailer

[Jeff]

OK. I added it to photos. I have seen pics in posts. Another secret here?

You could use a wheel chock, but i find it unnecessary. One tie to the front, one to the back, and side to side is all you need. i have trailered about two thousand miles with one trip alone being a thousand without an issue. I do like a wheel chock for a motorcycle but a trike is pretty stable. I do like the E Tracks over D rings as the tracks are infinitely adjustable.

Tire chocks will not keep it from going side to side so side to side as well as front to back is very important. see my setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yECqo_CAFr0&t=214s

Paul, Nice setup. I can’t post a pic so I put a pic in the photos section.

I see you have regular rubber wheel chocks. I do not mean those. I mean the kind like I have for our motorcycles. https://www.pingelonline.com/pc_combined_results.asp?search_cat=searchexact~pcpcm.parent_pc_id~8B2303CAFDD94A9FBFF86B666A64E350&pc_id=8B2303CAFDD94A9FBFF86B666A64E350

These are sized for tire width. Similar to what I can almost see on your bike front tire. It captures the whole wheel and if secured forward and downward renders the wheel immovable. We through-bolted the mount brackets. But the max they make is 6.5″ wide. Need 8″ for my Revolt. I have only welded a couple of times in my life and cannot make them for myself.

The side to side is no issue for a Revolt in a 8.5′ trailer with low deck and wheel wells inside. 7′, same as footprint. Like a bike, almost all forces are forward. The hardest part for our bikes over the years is the rear wheels hopping left and right. So now we use two rear down-and-back straps and one perpindicular and wrapped a couple times around the tire so it cannot move R>L>R. Revolt would not have that issue.

I still don’t know the secret to posting a pic inside a thread. Pretty sure it is well hidden in plain sight. Internet artwork……..designers with passion………ERK!

So I was just wondering since I have smaller removable mcy chocks and cannot find 8″rs. Roll it into the cage and strap it down and forward right there and be done. Fewer total bolts holding it though. But I can do it with straps going hither and yon.
