Your motorcycle is not just a smaller car. It requires specialist handling and equipment to be towed safely. Whether you've had a breakdown on a weekend ride in the Perth Hills or need to transport your prized cruiser to a workshop, understanding the process is key to a damage-free experience.
The Right Equipment is Non-Negotiable
Never let an operator use standard car-towing chains or inappropriate straps on your bike. Professional motorcycle towing uses:
- Tilt Tray or Flatbed Truck: This is the only truly safe way to transport a motorcycle.
- Front Wheel Chocks: A dedicated cradle that holds the front wheel securely in place, preventing any movement.
- Soft Straps: Wide, soft-tie straps that go over the frame or forks without scratching paint or chrome. Multiple anchor points are used for maximum stability.
What to Look for in a Perth Motorcycle Towing Provider
When choosing a service, ask if they are experienced with motorcycles. A professional will understand not to compress the front forks too tightly or put pressure on fragile fairings. They should be able to confidently explain their strapping method.
