Motorcycle Ramps & Chocks for Loading & Secure Positioning
Motorcycle ramps and chocks help make moving, transporting and positioning motorcycles safer and more controlled. Loading ramps provide a suitable path between different heights, while wheel chocks help hold the motorcycle wheel in position once the bike has reached the required location.
Motorcycle loading ramps are commonly used for moving bikes into vans, trailers and raised storage areas. Motorcycle wheel chocks can be used in workshops, garages and transport applications to help stabilise a bike while parked or being secured.
Professional vs DIY Motorcycle Ramps & Chocks
Professional motorcycle workshops, recovery operators and transport businesses may require heavy-duty motorcycle ramps and wheel chocks capable of regular use with different bikes.
DIY riders may use them for loading motorcycles into vans or trailers, positioning bikes inside garages or creating a more stable setup for storage and maintenance.
Choosing the Right Motorcycle Ramp or Chock
When selecting motorcycle ramps and chocks, consider:
- Maximum load capacity
- Ramp length and width
- Motorcycle weight
- Tyre width
- Loading height
- Surface grip
- Storage and portability
Longer ramps generally create a shallower loading angle for a given height, which can make loading motorcycles easier and help improve ground clearance.
Loading & Securing a Motorcycle
Before using a ramp, check that it is positioned securely and rated for the motorcycle being loaded. The loading surface should provide adequate grip and the ramp should be secured where required to prevent movement.
A wheel chock helps position the motorcycle, but it should not automatically be treated as a complete transport restraint. Suitable tie-downs or other securing equipment may also be required when transporting a bike.
