Wheel clamp

[Marc Lewis]

Yeah bulldog is certainly one of the better makes and one that insurance companys want to see you using. Alot of the cheaper ones you could have off (without the key) in less than 90 secs.

While we're on the subject, anyone used the bulldog euroclamp?

I've got the bigger one but been thinking about getting one of these for out and about to make life a bit easier

i have the euroclamp, was one insurers specified for trailer. wouldnt withstand a cordless grinder but not too light so slowing down kind of item.

I used to use a high end bicycle U lock through a wheel and around the suspension arm.

I may go and measure up and see if this is also viable on our GM190. A couple of those would certainly slow down a theft.

Trying to think like a criminal would you not just hitch it up and drag the chipper down the road until the lock disintegrated? Never seen one that would hold up to much

Also if you have a trailer with more than one axle you really need a wheel clamp on each axle. Otherwise it is possible to lift an axle using an adjustable tow ball and drive off with the lock still on the axle that is in the air!

A friend of mine up the road has a big lump of chain concreted into the ground which he throws round one of the hubs and padlocks ( cant be seen), the tow bar drops onto one of those locking posts.

I had on my chipper wheel clamps on each tyre and a head lock.. Also a chain concreted in that I put over the axle and two security bollards blocking the entrance which none of stood a chance against a cutting torch.

The tyres would blow before a decent "U" lock gave up.

What ever you people buy make sure it doesn't have a key system similar to a vending machine ie a circle type lock n key . These locks are so easy to open ?

 

Many bike locks and u locks have the same key system ...... They are joke really

 

 

Home made security is the best by far . Although not certified . The crooks are up against something different Get a welder and get inventive: thumbup1:
