When an Open Utility Trailer Is Sufficient for
Motorcycle Transport
An open utility trailer rental from Big Rentals handles motorcycle transport well in the majority of everyday situations. A single standard cruiser, sport bike, or naked bike secured with four soft loop tie-down straps at the frame loads and transports without issue on an open deck. The trailer needs functional tie-down points, which all Big Rentals utility trailers have, and the renter needs to supply or rent a wheel chock to keep the front wheel stable during transit.
Where open utility trailers fall short is in weather protection and security. If the haul involves an overnight stop, a high-value machine, or a bike that has recently been detailed or painted, the open deck creates exposure that an enclosed rental eliminates. For a straightforward point-to-point haul within the Mesquite and DFW area on a clear day, an open utility trailer is the practical choice.
