enclosed trailer dirtbike setups?

[Itsahobby]

Hi all,
I bought a 6x12 enclosed trailer and need to set it up to haul, at least, 4 bikes. Any suggestions? Type of wheel chocks?
Pics would help I am a visual think :)
Thanks for any input.

Ya me too, where do you find those bars that quick release that go across. I think each hold 3 or 4 bikes???

E-track is the way to go. On the floor AND the wall. That way there are endless options.

Try srtusa.com The P-lock system is not cheap but work's well.

One suggestion for you....
Home Depot sells a do it yourself bedliner kit. I did my trailer inside and even ran it the walls about 12 inches. I can hose the entire trailer out after putting muddy D. Bikes in there.... it's great.
eye hooks in the floor are real good for keeping tool boxes, gear boxes, air tanks etc secure.

I've thought about that, but this is a used trailer and it has a plywood floor with oil and dirt on it. I am not sure if the roll on bed liner would stick.
Thought I would spray on a water proof sealer with a bug sprayer.
Thanks,
Jerry

A new layer of 1/4 in plywood should cure that.

Depending on how the trailer is set up. Remember bikes are about 220-250 lbs a piece and the trailer does a lot of movin-and-shakin when trying to go from track to road. Make sure the supports go into the frame where you choose to put the eye-holes for the tiedowns. Those wheel chalks can be bought at any motorcycle parts place for the front tire and I wouldnt buy one for the back tires just incase you want to put more bikes in you can swing the back ends out pretty easily. The bikes wont fall over if you tie them down right. Hell, no toyhaulers have those chaulks and ive never had a bike tip over. Maybe try to get a "shock saver" for the bikes when you tie down so you dont blow the seals.

Hobby...I have an off road tour business, and I haul dirt bikes, lots of them every weekend, to and from the worst roads in Baja. Slicks bed rack is nice but it is basically for truck beds, if you want to support Slick then buy the Pingle tire mounts and install eyebolts on the floor, you have a wood floor so you can use the flush mount eyebolts so its easier to use the trailer for something else in the future.
Do not use the mounts that clamp to the front wheel that dont require tiedowns, unless you have an open account at Pro Circuit to replace fork seals every month!
Its also a good idea to support the rear wheels from sliding side to side if your gonna be going on any long drives.

Jerry-
It will work, that stuff is so sticky. I even got a small amount on my driveway and my powerwasher would not even remove it.
I had my trailer for 3 years before I appiled the bedliner. There were also some oil spots from the bikes dripping and we spilled some gas in there one time as well. It's pretty cheap also.... Like a 100 bucks. I did a quick google search and nothing came up, but I'm pretty sure it was called Hercules.

Great,
My partner and I were just talking about this last night. I will try and find some.

That quick release rack is sold at Camping World. Right in your backyard. I think that there are 2 sizes. I was there just a couple of weeks ago and they had them in stock. The price was around $300 depending on the kit. They work very well and are heavy duty. I have done all types of E-track and other variations. These quick release bar set-ups are the best.

[Itsahobby]

Thanks for all the suggestions. We ended up putting 16 inches of e-track between Pingel chocks at ~30 degrees. E-track across the front and down the opposite side to tie down the rear tires and gas jugs.
We didn't have time to coat the floor, hopefully we can do this in the near future. Riding time is here, so we need to take advantage of it:D .
Still waiting on the Pingel chocks, the place I ordered from sent me the 6'' ones instead of the 3.5:( They fixed it and are sending them 3 day. Should be here Friday.

I just saw the slickest system I have ever seen this weekend. He had wheel "recievers" for lack of better words (the metal pieces your front tire just runs into to keep it from sliding out) and where the footpegs are he had two eye-bolts on the ground, one on either side of the bike directly under the footpegs. Then he had a turnbuckle set-up with a spring hook on the end. Basically, he would hook up the left side with it leaned over, compress the suspension a little (quite a bit actually) and then hook the right side into the peg. The bike was 100% solid, and he had three kids bikes and two adult bikes sitting there next to each other in the relatively small trailer. Less than 20 seconds to pull a bike out this way. Whole trailer loaded and ready to go in four minutes or so. Wheel the bike up, swivel the back end around, hook up one side, push down on the bike and hook up the other side, go get another bike. Done.
Just a thought...

I saw something like that except the use the rachet up bike stands. You just put your back over the bike stand, put the 2 turn buckles over the foot pegs and step down on the bike stand peddle.
From what I understand, this is how some of ht MFGs transport bikes.
