The short answer
The loading area measures 260 × 155 cm and carries a payload of 500 kg. That means practically every single road motorcycle fits, from a light naked bike to a heavy touring machine. Borderline cases are rather two heavy bikes at once (payload), very wide quads (width) or longtail cargo bikes (length). The configurator below tells you for your specific object.
Presets are guide values (ready to ride, "approx."). For a reliable result you can enter the exact dimensions of your vehicle.
Trailer loading area: 260 × 155 cm, payload 500 kg. The three permanently fitted chocks sit side by side: whether several vehicles fit depends on their width and the payload. The vehicles themselves must fit within the 155 cm; only the handlebars may stick out, up to the overall width of 205 cm.
Heavy machines: keeping an eye on weight
The most common doubt is about heavy bikes. On their own, even touring models stay clearly below the 500 kg payload. Only two heavy machines together exceed it – we show that honestly on purpose.
| Example | Weight (approx.) | Payload 500 kg |
|---|---|---|
| Sportster / Nightster | approx. 230 kg | fits |
| Softail (e.g. Fat Boy) | approx. 317 kg | fits |
| Touring (Road/Street Glide) | approx. 380–405 kg | fits |
| Two touring machines | approx. 780 kg | does not fit |
Vehicle weights are approximate manufacturer figures (ready to ride, as of July 2026) and are a guide only. What counts is the real weight of your machine.
Easy to load on your own, too
The loading area tilts and the ramp angle is only 13°. You push your motorcycle up a flat ramp instead of heaving it over a steep edge, which usually works on your own too. At the front a front-wheel chock holds the front wheel, and it is secured via 18 lashing points.
What fits on the tilting trailer?
Motorcycles & two-wheelers
The core: practically every single road motorcycle fits.
- Naked bikes & roadsters
- Sports bikes & tourers
- Touring Harleys & Goldwing
- Motocross, enduro & supermoto
- Scooters & Vespa
- Quad / ATV (check the width)
Not just motorcycles
The same loading area is suitable for other objects. Here, though, a check of the dimensions is worth it:
Ride-on mower / lawn tractor
Weight is rarely the problem, but width is: many models are around 90 to 120 cm. Measure the mower and check it against the 155 cm inner width. Because it does not use the motorcycle chock, only around 210 cm of length counts as well.
Cargo bike
Light but long: compact models fit without any problem. Without the motorcycle chock, around 210 cm of length counts; longtails beyond that become borderline. Check the length beforehand.
Frequently asked questions
Does my motorcycle fit on a trailer?
Almost every single road motorcycle fits. The loading area is 260 × 155 cm and carries a payload of 500 kg. Even a heavy touring bike (approx. 380 to 405 kg ready to ride) stays below that. The configurator above checks your specific model by weight, length and width.
Do two motorcycles fit at the same time?
That depends on width and weight, so there is no blanket answer. The three permanently fitted chocks sit side by side, so the widths add up. The vehicles themselves must fit within the 155 cm inner width; only the handlebars may stick out, up to the overall width of 205 cm at most. Handlebars and mirrors must not touch. For weight, the limit is the 500 kg payload: two heavy touring machines together (around 780 kg) exceed it. The configurator takes both into account for the number you choose.
How heavy may the vehicle be?
Up to a payload of 500 kg. The trailer's gross vehicle weight is 750 kg, its unladen weight 250 kg. With a gross vehicle weight of 750 kg, a car driving licence (class B) is always enough, whatever the tow vehicle.
Does a ride-on mower or a cargo bike fit too?
Often yes, but a check beforehand is worth it. Important: quads, ride-on mowers and the like do not sit in the motorcycle chock, so you have 50 cm less length, around 210 instead of 260 cm. Ride-on mowers usually fail on width (many are around 90 to 120 cm), long cargo bikes on length. Weight-wise the trailer carries both easily. Enter the dimensions above and you see straight away whether it fits.
