I had/have? some of the wooden chocks with the steel handle and the lock bolts as pictured on the deck of the 7-1/2 ton trailer in picture 4 kicking about the place. I seem to remember they came in a bundle of four.

chocks
No not the ones that come in a fancy box......
There were four in a set, if you still have them.....could you photo the locking device.....I never made out how it actually worked.....two pins obviously located into a set of parrallel holes on the trackway....there were quite a few to enable the block to sit exactly. There looks to be a handle to carry the thing, then two "spring loaded" pins...any more details would be welcome. George.

Hi George,
The handles are like a bent piece of 1/4" diameter rod with a bit of 3/16" x 1/2" flat an inch and a quarter or so long welded on each end with a hole in each one for attachment to the block. One 'foot' points up and the other down. The lock bolts have a body about 3/4" diameter and about 6" long with a blunt point on the lower end that has a lug sticking out one side which is obviously intended to pass through a key shaped hole in the trailer deck then the pin rotated by the handle on the top so as it is captive. The handle is in the form of a piece of 3/8" diameter rod welded to the top of the pin having a curl back on the free end for gripping between thumb and fingers. The pin is captive in a tube made by a 'U' shaped channel welded to a flat plate attached to the block by screws. No springs are used . Keep in mind however that the Australian version may differ from the English. Given time, which is in short supply at the moment, I will try and post some pictures. Questions, do the trailers have key shaped holes in the deck and what is the distance between centres? Dave

Thanks
Great response and many thanks......looking at the drawings and what photos there are, I was not aware the "holes" were key shapes, this now seems logical as an easy and positive way of locking them in place. When you get time, a photo would be great.....but your answer has solved my question.
Cheers. George.

Recovery Trailer, 6 Wheeled, 8 Ton (Aust) Mk 1
G'day David and George,
In answer to your questions, yes the deck does have key shaped holes at the front and rear - not continuous for the full lentgh. As to the centres, I do not have access to the trailer at the moment until I make some room at the "shed". Currently (kindly) stored at a mate's place. When I get the chance I will measure the centres, but hopefully the pictures will help out. Regards, Darian.
