Previously, loading equipment ranged from awkward self-built devices, such as the now infamous double wooden plank set-up, to expensive hydraulic units, with little on the market to fill the gulf in between.
However, with the average dint to a motorcycle petrol tank costing £1000, and few being able to justify the excessive expense of a hydraulic system – whose costs far exceed the initial capital required for the product, incurring fitting charges as well additional expenditure for regular servicing and maintenance – this is one gulf that needs to be filled.
And now it is. September 2014 sees the launch of Motorbronx, the new, globally patented motor-bike loading system, available exclusively at Peak Dynamics.
The entirely mechanical Motorbronx system operates using rubber suspension axles fitted with specialist mounting brackets, capable of lifting the motorcycle with a simple movement lever arm mounted to the axle and the pivot point of the chassis. Lifting and lowering occurs when the axle rotates around the pivot point and is controlled by a belt that is fixed to the lift arm and wound on to a bobbin fixed to a transmission shaft. The rotation of the bobbin is controlled by an appropriately sized reduction gearbox – operated either manually, with a hand brace, with a cordless drill, or with a dedicated electric motor.
Designed by those who understand the difficulties of loading and unloading often heavy, high-value machines, and who also appreciate the aesthetic requirements of those who ride and maintain these beautiful vehicles, Motorbronx is designed specifically to safely and smoothly load motorcycles – equalling the efficacy of hydraulics but at a significantly reduced cost.
So it’s goodbye wooden planks, hello Motorbronx.
