Frequently Asked Questions
I am concerned about the trailer tires, are they big enough?
Yes! All of our trailers have high speed load rated tires. You won’t have any tire problems if the trailer tires are kept at their maximum recommended air pressure and the load carried is within the weight maximum for the trailer. Our single and three rail trailers are load rated to carry 1200lbs. Our two bike trailer is load rated for 2000lbs. carrying capacity. All of our trailer tires are treated with TYREGUARDIAN which protects from punctures up to 1/4” in diameter. We check every trailers tires prior to rental. In 2 years of operation we have not had a customer have a flat.
Can I rent a trailer for a long trip?
Sure you can! The great thing about renting a trailer from us is YOU CAN go on long trips and arrive fresh to ride those really fun areas without having to endure miles and miles of boring Interstate riding.
Will your trailers handle my bike/bikes?
Yes as long as the weight does not exceed the trailers limits. The record for the heaviest bike hauled so far goes to a custom Honda Valkyrie which tipped the scales at 1004lbs. The rental was for a 600 mile round trip with no problems. This was our custom made trailer with the “small” tires.
How large a tow vehicle do I need?
Check your vehicle manual for towing capacity. My mighty “07” 4-cylinder Hyundai Sonata pulls the single trailers just fine with my 650lb Softail Standard loaded.
What is the best way to strap my motorcycle down?
Every motorcycle is different. The idea is to attach the soft loops provided to a “solid” part of the bike. The front forks above a cross member is a good place or to the front of the frame positioned so the loops will not slide down. Same with the rear loops and tie downs. The front straps should be attached at close to a 45 degree angle while pulling the bike down and forward against the wheel chock. Do not flatten your tire! Compress your forks no more than 80% of the down travel allowed. Compressing the forks completely with the tie down straps can lead to fork damage. The rear straps are used primarily to keep the bike from moving side to side and need to be tight.
Should I check the straps?
Yes, we suggest you travel no more than a mile or two then pull over and check your straps. You will find that more often than not you have at least one strap which needs to be tightened. Do not run the straps over the top of anything. The straps are not made for contact and can be damaged by this type of use. Not to mention what the rubbing action will do to your bike
How can I tell if you have a trailer available?

No we do not accept checks. Cash or money order for all fees and deposits are required when picking up the trailer.
