Motorcycle Towing

Why Motorcycles Need Special Towing

Motorcycles are not like cars. They are smaller, lighter, and have only two wheels, which means they need special care during transport. You cannot just hook a chain to a motorcycle and drag it like you would with a car. That would damage the frame, suspension, and paint. Instead, motorcycles require specialized towing equipment and techniques to keep them safe.

At CoastCrew Norwalk Towing, we understand how much your bike means to you. Whether it is a daily commuter, a weekend cruiser, or a high-performance sport bike, we treat it with the respect it deserves. Our team uses flatbed trucks and secure tie-down systems to transport motorcycles safely without scratches, dents, or damage.

How We Transport Motorcycles Safely

Our motorcycle towing process is designed to protect your bike from start to finish. Here is how we do it:

• Flatbed truck transport: We use flatbed towing for motorcycles because it keeps the bike completely off the ground and secure during transport.
• Soft tie-down straps: We use padded straps that attach to solid points on your bike without scratching the paint or damaging the bodywork.
• Proper positioning: Your bike is positioned upright and balanced on the flatbed, just like it would sit on a stand. We never lay motorcycles on their side.
• Multiple secure points: We use at least four tie-down points to keep the motorcycle stable during transport, even on bumpy roads.
• Experienced handling: Our drivers know how to load and unload motorcycles safely without dropping or tipping them.
• Works for all bike types: We can tow cruisers, sport bikes, touring bikes, dirt bikes, scooters, and custom builds.

When You Need Motorcycle Towing

Motorcycles can break down just like cars, but sometimes the problem is harder to fix on the roadside. Here are some common situations when you might need motorcycle towing:

Mechanical breakdown: If your bike will not start, has engine trouble, or is making strange noises, you need a tow to a repair shop.

Flat tire: Unlike cars, you cannot just throw a spare tire on a motorcycle. If you get a flat, you will need to tow the bike to a shop for repair or replacement.

Accident damage: If your bike was involved in an accident, it may not be safe to ride. Our accident recovery service can safely load damaged motorcycles onto a flatbed for transport.

Dead battery: Motorcycles have smaller batteries that can die quickly. If a jump start does not work, we can tow your bike home or to a shop.

Transport for purchase or relocation: If you bought a bike and need it delivered, or you are moving and want to transport it safely, we offer long-distance towing for motorcycles.
