Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles are not like cars. They have two wheels instead of four, they balance differently, and they require special equipment to transport safely. You cannot just hook a motorcycle up to a standard tow truck and drag it down the road. That would damage the bike and create serious safety risks. Motorcycle towing requires specialized equipment, proper training, and a careful approach to make sure your bike arrives at its destination without a scratch.

When you call for motorcycle towing, you want a company that understands how to handle bikes correctly. We use flatbed trucks or enclosed trailers designed specifically for motorcycles. These vehicles allow us to secure your bike properly using soft straps and wheel chocks, so it does not tip over or shift during transport. We also know how to load and unload bikes without damaging the paint, chrome, or other delicate parts. Whether you ride a heavyweight cruiser, a nimble sport bike, or a vintage classic, we treat your motorcycle with the care it deserves.

There are many reasons you might need motorcycle towing. Maybe your bike broke down on the highway and you cannot get it started. Maybe you were in an accident and the bike is too damaged to ride. Maybe you bought a motorcycle from a private seller and need it delivered to your home. Or maybe you are relocating and want to transport your bike safely to your new address. Whatever the situation, our professional towing service is here to help you out.

The key to safe motorcycle towing is using the right equipment and techniques. We never use wheel-lift tow trucks or chains that could damage your bike. Instead, we rely on flatbed trucks that allow us to roll or lift your motorcycle onto a secure platform. Once the bike is on the flatbed, we use soft tie-down straps that attach to the frame or handlebars, not the bodywork or exhaust. This prevents scratches, dents, and other cosmetic damage that can happen if you use the wrong straps or attachment points.

Our Motorcycle Towing Process

• Secure Loading: We use a ramp or lift gate to load your bike onto the flatbed. If your bike is not running, we can push or winch it carefully onto the platform.
• Proper Tie-Downs: We use high-quality soft straps at multiple points to secure the bike. The straps are tightened just enough to hold the bike in place without putting too much pressure on the suspension.
• Wheel Chocks: We use a wheel chock to keep the front wheel stable and prevent the bike from rolling forward or backward during transport.
• Protection from Elements: If your bike needs extra protection, we can cover it with a tarp or blanket to shield it from road debris, weather, and other hazards during transport.
• Careful Unloading: When we reach your destination, we unload the bike slowly and carefully, making sure it is stable before we remove the straps.

We also understand that many motorcycles have custom parts, aftermarket accessories, or sentimental value. That is why we treat every bike like it is our own. Our operators are trained in motorcycle handling, and they know how to work with different types of bikes, from heavy touring models to lightweight dirt bikes. If you need flatbed towing for another vehicle, we offer that service too.

Motorcycle towing is not just for breakdowns. There are many situations where riders need professional transport services. Here are some of the most common reasons people call us for motorcycle towing in the Woodridge area.

Breakdowns are the most obvious reason to call for a tow. If your bike will not start, has a flat tire, or suffers a mechanical failure, you cannot just push it home. Motorcycles are heavy, and pushing one any distance is exhausting and dangerous. We will come to your location, load your bike onto our flatbed, and take it to your preferred repair shop or your home. This saves you time, effort, and the risk of injuring yourself trying to move a heavy bike.

Accidents are another common reason for motorcycle towing. Even a minor accident can make a bike unsafe to ride, and riding a damaged motorcycle puts you at serious risk. If you have been in an accident, call us right away. We will transport your bike to a body shop or storage facility while you focus on getting medical attention and dealing with insurance. We also work with insurance companies and can provide documentation for your claim if needed. Our accident recovery services are available 24/7.

Long-distance transport is another popular use of motorcycle towing. Maybe you bought a bike online and need it shipped from another state. Maybe you are moving across the country and want to transport your motorcycle safely without putting miles on it. Or maybe you are heading to a rally or event and do not want to ride hundreds of miles to get there. We handle long-distance motorcycle transport with the same care and professionalism as local jobs. Your bike will be secured properly, protected from the elements, and delivered exactly where you want it.
