Easily transport your motorcycle
To transport your motorbike, many equipments exist: motorcycle trailers with rails, motorcycle trailers with tilting frames, box trailers, flatbed trailers … What advantages and what disadvantages to each of these solutions ?
1 / Motorcycle rail trailers: always easier for 2
With a payload typically between 255 and 400 kg, these motorcycle trailers can accommodate between one and three motorcycles. The ascent and descent of the machines is carried out using loading rails. The first step is to have perfect control of the skating of your bike, while at the same time climbing the bike carrier, then to keep it in balance to finally strap on your bike. Motorcycle carriers with rails will be preferred for light vehicles.
Advantages of motorcycle rail trailers:
- One of the most affordable solutions
- Available for 1, 2 or 3 motorcycles
Disadvantages of motorcycle rail trailers:
- Requires installing and transporting a loading rail for each use
- Delicate, even very delicate maneuver
- Dedicated use: this type of motorcycle carrier will only be used to transport your motorcycle
2 / Motorcycle trailers with lowered tipping frame: ideal for large displacement

3 / Box trailers: ultra-secure, practical and multi-use
Box trailers are also attractive. For a GVW ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg, models equipped with tilting bridge openings allow you to load your motorcycle easily and quickly, without any other tools or equipment required.
Advantages of box trailers:
- The content is completely invisible
- Easy loading on tilting bridge models
- Can be used for anything other than transporting a motorcycle
Disadvantages of box trailers:

Equipped with the right features, these flatbed trailers can transport just about anything: with loading rails or for tilting models with rear loading deck, they will transport motorcycles, 3-wheel scooters (MP3), quads and even mini-cars ! Equipped with side rails, they make life easier when moving, pruning the garden or for work…
Advantages of flatbed trailers:
