Is the bike stable without tie-downs or wheel chocks?
Yes, the bike is very secure and stable as you drive down the road. The front tire may move a little from left to right, but is generally held in place by the rake of the suspension. If you do find movement of the front tire, it will not affect the security of the bike.
Can I leave my bike clamped in the Lock-N-Load overnight without damage to my suspension?
Yes, the Lock-N-Load is designed to put minimal pressure on your suspension. The bike sits at less than pre-load height and distributes the pressure to both front and rear suspension.
Why can I wiggle the bike a little bit when I shake the handle bars or press on the seat?
The Lock-N-Load is designed to hold your bike securely as you travel down the road. When being transported, all the forces on the bike come from the trailer floor and are transferred directly to the tires and foot pegs, not the bars or the seat. You can see from the videos online that the bike travels very securely when held in this manor.
Can I mount bikes close together with the Lock-N-Load?
Yes, in fact you can mount them right next to each other, shroud to shroud. In a common toy hauler, or wide body trailer, you can mount 4 bikes wide by slightly staggering the handlebars as shown in the image above. You can also mount them fairly close to the trailer wall.
Will my bike fit in the Lock-N-Load?
We now have two sizes of Lock-N-Loads (The Lock-N-Load and The Lock-N-Load JUNIOR).
The Lock-N-Load is designed to fit FULL SIZE MX BIKES, or bikes with similar geometry (Foot peg width from tip to tip: 18”-20” (455mm-510mm), foot peg height: 15”-17.5” (380mm-445mm)).
The Lock-N-Load JUNIOR is designed to fit 85cc MX BIKES, or bikes with similar geometry (Foot peg width from tip to tip: 18“-20”(455mm-510mm), foot peg height: 12.5”-14.75” (320mm-375mm)).
A final note: Often trail bikes WITHOUT a folding shift lever will not fit.
Can I mount the Lock-N-Load in the bed of my truck?
Yes, we have a truck bed accessory plate that spans the corrugation of your truck bed and mounts the Lock-N-Load in the bed of a truck. This eliminates the need for a brace on the front of your truck bed to prevent the front of the bed from bending. You can also stagger the mounting and easily put three bikes in a standard truck bed without putting one in backwards. Additionally, the Lock-N-Load is quick release from the truck bed leaving only the low profile mounting plates so you can still use your truck as a truck!

Will the Lock-N-Load work with my 2-stroke?
Yes, but the large collector area of your 2-stroke exhaust may be an obstacle. Simply lower a jaw when loading the bike or simply put the bike in backwards. It will work either way.
Why do the mounting plates have D-Rings?
The D-Rings have nothing to do with the Lock-N-Load. They are simply there as an additional tie-down location for other items you may have. The low-profile mounting plates are mounted to your trailer floor so they might as well be another functional part of your trailer.
