Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles aren't just smaller vehicles. They require special care when it comes to towing. You can't hook up a bike like you would a car. The wrong equipment or careless handling can damage your motorcycle's frame, scratch the paint, or worse. That's why we offer specialized motorcycle towing at ZippyLift Union Towing. Our team knows how to transport bikes safely, whether you ride a cruiser, sportbike, touring bike, or dirt bike.

Why Motorcycle Towing Is Different

Towing a motorcycle takes more than just throwing it in the back of a truck. Here's why it requires specialized service:

Balance and Stability

Motorcycles don't have four wheels. They need to be secured upright and balanced during transport. If they tip over or shift, you're looking at expensive damage.

Proper Tie-Down Points

You can't strap down a bike just anywhere. We use the right tie-down points to keep your motorcycle secure without bending handlebars, scratching fairings, or stressing the suspension.

Wheel Chocks and Ramps

We use wheel chocks to hold the front tire steady and sturdy ramps to roll the bike onto the flatbed safely. No dragging, no dropping, just smooth loading.

Experience with Different Bike Types

A Harley cruiser needs different handling than a sportbike or a dirt bike. Our drivers understand the differences and adjust their approach based on your bike's design.

When You Need Motorcycle Towing

There are plenty of reasons you might need to tow your bike. Here are the most common situations:

• Breakdowns: Your bike won't start or has mechanical issues that leave you stranded.
• Accidents: If your bike was in a crash, you need safe transport to get it to a repair shop or home.
• Buying or Selling: You purchased a bike from someone and need it delivered, or you're moving a bike to a new owner.
• Long-Distance Moves: Moving to a new city and don't want to ride your bike hundreds of miles.
• Winter Storage: Some riders store their bikes during colder months and need transport to and from storage facilities.

How We Tow Your Motorcycle

We use flatbed towing for motorcycles because it's the safest method. Here's what happens when we arrive:

1. 1. We Position the Flatbed: Our driver backs the truck up to your bike and lowers the bed to create a ramp.
2. 2. We Roll Your Bike On: If your bike runs, we carefully roll it up the ramp. If it doesn't, we use a winch to pull it up smoothly.
3. 3. We Secure It with Straps: Using soft straps and proper tie-down points, we lock your bike in place. It won't budge during transport.
4. 4. We Deliver It Safely: Your bike travels on the flatbed to wherever you need it, arriving in the same condition it left.
