Load a Motorcycle into a Pick-Up

Neo-Dyne’s roots are in Australia, where the brand’s two founders met. As passionate motorsport enthusiasts and amateur riders, they decided to design and build their own motorcycle loading ramp system, dissatisfied with the lack of safety in existing models. Australia, being a predominantly agricultural country, has numerous utility pick-ups in both urban areas and the remotest parts of the territory. American culture is pervasive, with Made in USA manufacturers well-represented, but Japanese and German brands are also common. Whether single cab or double cab, short bed, long bed, or extended bed, pick-ups in Australia are akin to French utility vehicles, albeit with much more style. 

Australian DNA and space engineering

Neo-Dyne winch-assisted motorcycle loading ramps were originally designed to allow Australian pick-up owners to transport their motorcycles easily and with optimal safety. While it’s always possible to load a motorcycle into a pick-up using a removable ramp, the risks are significant. Numerous "fail" videos of motorcycles falling during loading or unloading demonstrate the difficulty of the operation, especially when done solo. Beyond physical risks, the material consequences can be minimal for a trail or enduro bike but much more substantial for road bikes or customs. Neo-Dyne winch-assisted motorcycle loading ramps provide an ideal solution for all pick-up owners, with removable mounting systems on existing anchor points via the AC-012 kit and the option for permanent installation with pre-drilled holes on all ramps.

The Best Winch-Assisted Motorcycle Loading Solution for a Pick-Up: Neo-Dyne

Neo-Dyne winch-assisted motorcycle loading ramps are suitable for all types of pick-ups. Single cab, double cab, short bed, long bed, or extended bed pick-ups are all eligible for the Neo-Dyne system. The design team has created a complete range that adapts to all configurations, lengths, and heights with extensions.

While there are standard lengths (2.10m to 2.50m), Neo-Dyne also offers custom-fit ramps to match the exact length of your open bed for AUN-100, AUN-150, and AUN-200 ramps. Fixed ramps are also available, including the AUN-250, a world exclusive, which allows you to close the tailgate with the ramp inside. This ramp can be installed in a short or long bed, allowing you to keep it permanently in your pick-up. For loading heights, while the standard is 900mm, extensions allow heights up to 1500mm, ideal for lifted pick-up enthusiasts.

Motorcycle Trailer Versus Winch-Assisted Motorcycle Loading Ramps

While motorcycle trailers are currently the most popular solution among motorcyclists, they have numerous disadvantages:

• Significant space consumption in storage.
• Large size complicates driving, especially in urban areas where maneuvering and parking become difficult.
• Noticeable increase in fuel consumption due to the trailer.
• Speed limitations on highways.
• Inability to leave the trailer in a parking lot (with or without the motorcycle) without risking theft.
• Unpredictable solo loading, posing real risks.
• Higher than expected costs for acquiring a stable and secure trailer.

In contrast, Neo-Dyne winch-assisted motorcycle loading ramps offer many advantages:

• Reduced space consumption, with the ramp either left in the bed or stored vertically in a parking lot (weighing 80 to 90kg on average).
• A system that maintains your vehicle’s maneuverability during travel, particularly when parking.
• Safe and quick loading and unloading by a single person (male or female).
• No speed limitations on highways, as the motorcycle is directly on the vehicle.
• Limited theft risks due to the motorcycle's elevated position and the winch system requiring specific accessories (high-torque drill with adapter).
• The ability to expand the uses of your motorcycle ramp with Neo-Dyne accessories to load a 3-wheel scooter, a chopper, a jet ski, a snowmobile, or loads up to 350kg with the same ease.

There are many reasons to consider acquiring a Neo-Dyne winch-assisted motorcycle loading ramp, especially as it can also be installed in a van, truck, utility vehicle, or RV.
