View Full Version : [US] Source for plastic wheel chocks with holders?

One of the plastic chock holders that came with my Anschau (Komet)
trailers has fallen apart. Before I do the obvious and go to the
trailer dealer(s) for an (expensive) replacement, has anyone found a
local source for these? I'm looking for a set of light-weight
plastic chocks with holders, so I tried googling various combinations
and going to the usual sites (Grainger, eTrailer, etc.) without luck.
Haven't looked too hard, but figured I'd take the easy way out and
enlist the help of R.A.S.

My neighbor at the airport mentioned WalMart for the wheel chocks,
since mine are pretty ancient and the holders have long since fallen
apart.
I haven't gone to look, though, since I just chuck my chocks in the
front
of the trailer whenever I go someplace with it.

I know it's not local, but Northern Tool carries a variety of chocks
and lots of trailer parts too.

Chocks I got. It's the little holders that I need.

Vielen Dank! I'll use that a last resort in case I have a trip there
later this year...

Looks like you could make your own pretty easy.

Ah Ha. I'll read more closely next time. Good luck with the search.

Try your local "Camping World" or other RV supply places.

Yes, I can confirm that Wallmart has trailer wheel chocks, in the
automotive section. I purchased a pair of REESE Wheel chocks from them
for $7.99 in the last two weeks. A quick websearch shows that Lowes,
amazon and a bunch of other suppliers also carry them. Here the link
for Lowe's website:

They're not Anschau, but Cobra parts...
Try Williams Soaring Center, Williams, CA.
They have the chocks and holders in stock. Black or white (black last
longer)
Sorry, not from horrible Wal-Mart but from a full-service soaring
supplier.

I wish... they're right down the road. Unfortunately, their chocks
don't come with the handy-dandy chock holders that you mount right
next to the wheels. I'm chock full o' chocks. It's the holders I
ain't got.

Fortunately, Tim Mara at Wings and Wheels had them for a very
reasonable price. Case closed.
