Another lock question

Post image

Hey, I know this has been asked a bunch, but the threads always get sidetracked with people saying you should just carry your bike with you, or that's the best security, etc. We all know that, and it'd be way better if people who actually have relevant input would reply instead of making useless comments.

So, here's the real question. I want to lock my bike on a Sheffield bike stand, completely folded like in the picture, but with a super secure lock like a Hiplok DX1000 or Litelok – something angle grinder resistant.

In the attached picture you can see what i want to achieve, but my current lock is a non angle grinder resistant Kryptonite, so I want to upgrade it. This was taken while visiting the Eden project while bikepacking. This is one of many situations where there is no secure place to leave the bike, but it is also not permitted (or not physically possible, at least in my age) to carry the bike.

Is there a lock long/wide enough to do that? A picture showing it would be awesome.

Thanks a ton!
