Motorbike recovery in Hodge Hill

Motorbike recovery with proper tie-downs - no fork-tube crush, no scuffed fairings.

Bikes deserve better than a set of fork straps and a hopeful look. In Hodge Hill we run a flatbed with a wheel chock and bar-end tie-downs, so your forks stay uncompressed and your fairings arrive without scuff marks.

Loading a bike properly

Flatbed with wheel chock and tie-down loops. Weight band: 150-350kg typical.

Loaded up the ramp under power where possible, winched otherwise
We use bar-end straps not fork-tube compression to avoid seal damage
Sport bike belly pans and fairings get padded contact points

Strapping & tie-down

Front wheel chock, four tie-downs to bar-end weights or triple clamp.

Hodge Hill — what we see on the ground

Hodge Hill's residential layout means a bike job here could be anywhere from Bromford industrial estate to a residential turning near Hodge Hill Common. Our drivers know which routes take a long-deck truck and which do not — that is the difference between a 40-minute recovery and a two-hour re-route.
