Your bike is more than transportation. It’s an investment, a passion, and for many, a lifestyle. When it’s time to haul it, whether for a trip, a show, or a move, the right motorcycle trailer makes all the difference.
At Pro-line Trailers, we help riders get the trailer setup that keeps their bikes protected, stable, and easy to load. Whether you’re hauling a single cruiser or multiple sport bikes, here’s what to look for before you tow.
1. Choose the Right Trailer Type
The two most common motorcycle hauling options are:
- Open Motorcycle Trailers
Lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to load. Great for local travel or sunny-day trips. - Enclosed Motorcycle Trailers
Offers protection from weather, theft, and road debris. Ideal for long trips, events, or year-round storage.
We carry both styles in multiple sizes with upgrades available.
2. Make Sure It’s Built for Bikes
A trailer built for lawn gear or tools is not the same as one built for motorcycles. Look for:
- Reinforced flooring
- Tie-down points positioned for bikes
- Ramp gates or fold-up ramps with the right angle
- Low deck height for easier loading
Not sure if yours is built right? We’ll inspect it for you.
3. Use the Right Tie-Down System
The tie-down setup is critical. At a minimum, you’ll need:
- 4 high-quality ratchet straps
- Soft loops or handlebar straps
- Front wheel chock or cradle
- E-track or D-ring anchors
A stable front wheel and balanced tension prevent shifting and keep the suspension from bottoming out.
We carry all of these parts at Pro-line Trailer Parts.
4. Consider Storage and Security
An enclosed trailer gives you space for:
- Helmets and gear
- Tools and fluids
- Shelving or wall hooks
- Optional solar lights or vent fans
We also recommend lockable hasps and spare keys for safety on the road or when parked overnight.
5. Know the Towing Weight and Dimensions
Before you buy, confirm:
- Your motorcycle’s curb weight
- Trailer axle rating and tire condition
- Tow vehicle capacity
- Interior space for one or multiple bikes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Can I use a regular utility trailer to haul my motorcycle?
A: Not safely. Utility trailers are not always reinforced or balanced properly for bike hauling. We recommend trailers designed for motorcycle use or properly upgraded with a wheel chock and tie-down anchors.
Q: What size trailer do I need for one motorcycle?
A: A 5×8 or 6×10 trailer typically works well for one bike. If you’re hauling more than one, we’ll help size you up correctly.
Q: Do I need a front wheel chock?
A: Yes. A wheel chock helps keep the bike upright and takes pressure off the straps. We carry multiple styles depending on your setup.
Q: Do you offer enclosed trailers with motorcycle packages?
A: Yes. We offer enclosed trailers outfitted with D-rings, chocks, and optional shelving for gear storage. Ask about customization options.
