Motorcycle Towing
Specialized transport for your bike using proper equipment and techniques.
Why Motorcycle Towing Is Different
Motorcycles need special care during towing. You can't use regular car towing methods on a bike. Standard tow hooks and straps designed for cars can damage motorcycle frames, scratch paint, or bend components. Motorcycles also have different weight distribution and balance points that require specific loading techniques.
At RightStep Herriman Towing, we use motorcycle-specific equipment and trained technicians who understand bikes. We've invested in proper wheel chocks, soft straps, and ratchet systems designed specifically for two-wheeled vehicles. Your motorcycle gets treated with the care it deserves from riders who understand what your bike means to you.
Our Motorcycle Towing Process
Here's how we safely transport your motorcycle without damage:
- ✓Wheel Chock Loading: We secure your front wheel in a specialized chock that holds it upright and stable.
- ✓Soft Strap Tie-Downs: We use padded straps that won't scratch paint or damage delicate components.
- ✓Proper Compression: We secure your bike with the right amount of tension to prevent movement without damaging suspension.
- ✓Frame Protection: We avoid contact with painted surfaces and use proper anchor points on the frame.
- ✓Multiple Bikes: We can transport more than one motorcycle at a time when needed.
We use flatbed trucks for motorcycle transport, similar to our flatbed towing service for cars. This keeps your bike completely off the road during transport.
Common Motorcycle Towing Situations
Riders need towing for many reasons. Mechanical breakdowns are the most common. Your bike won't start, or it's making concerning noises that you don't want to ride through. Maybe you noticed an oil leak or warning light during a ride. Rather than risk damage or safety issues, towing is the smart choice.
Accidents happen too. Even minor crashes can make a motorcycle unsafe to ride. Bent handlebars, damaged wheels, or frame issues need professional assessment before you ride again. We'll transport your bike to your preferred repair shop for a thorough inspection and repairs.
Some riders call us for purchased bikes. You bought a motorcycle from a private seller or dealer, but you can't ride it home right away. Insurance isn't active yet, or the bike needs work first. We'll pick it up and deliver it safely to your garage. For emergency situations, our emergency towing service responds quickly to get you and your bike off the roadside.
We Handle All Motorcycle Types
Our motorcycle towing service works for all types of bikes. Cruisers, sport bikes, touring motorcycles, dirt bikes, and scooters all get transported using appropriate methods for their size and weight. Heavy touring bikes with luggage? No problem. Lightweight sport bikes with aftermarket fairings? We'll protect them carefully.
We serve riders throughout Herriman and the surrounding areas. Whether your bike broke down on the highway or in your driveway, we'll get there quickly with the right equipment. Our team understands that motorcycles are more than transportation. They're often prized possessions that represent significant investments. We treat every bike like it's our own.
