Durham Towing understands motorcycle riders. We understand the feeling of freedom pushing seemingly endless miles of road past on a 2 wheeler just as much as the next guy or gal in leather. We also understand the need to have a reliable towing service at their disposal for transporting their bikes should an emergency occur oflong distance.
Not Just Anybody Can Tow a Motorcycle
By design, motorcycles are less stable on their 2-wheels than 4-wheeled cars or trucks. As a result a motorcycle tow requires a bit more finesse to transport. To prevent damage while securing the vehicle to a tow truck, Durham Towing uses motorcycle-specific wheel dollies and padded straps for transportation. While the other guys might use standard straps for towing your hog to the truck, we’d prefer to take the extra time to avoid scratching the fuel chrome or paint on your motorcycle.
And since Motorcycles cannot be towed with one wheel on the road (like an automobile tow using a Hook-and-Chain or Wheel-Lift tow truck), a motorcycle needs to be towed using a flatbed truck. With a hydraulically operated platform mounted on the back of a truck, flatbeds hydraulically tilt back to a ramp to permits an easy winch load of a motorcycle.
Needless to say, loading and unloading the motorcycle to and from the flatbed needs to be done with great care. By using an inexperienced towing team, you may be exposing your motorcycle to an accidental fall, which will cause dings, scrapes and possibly even internal damage to your motorcycle.
