Has anyone ever put a bike on the back of the unit above the catwalk? Fancy doing it for summer for when I park up at night, what’s the best way to do it?

I’ve only ever seen 1 unit with a bike it’s a yellow XF , I wouldn’t mind doing it for summer either , I pull 45ft high cubes 99% of the time with a R420 don’t know if there would be enough room to fit one

Could you not just strap it into the spare wheel carriage on the trailer?

I have seen a few strapped to the back of the unit, good idea…if you like riding back from the pub drunk :blush: :laughing: :laughing:

My boss wont even let me stick my truck washing brush behind the headboard as he thinks it will look like a pickey wagon, so I have to hide it in the yard :unamused: :laughing:
The engineers will nick it if they find it :imp:

When my truck goes to Scania for service or checks I put my car on the back as its on the way home :laughing:

Some of our guys carry a bike on the back of the cab, I have thought about it but as most of my nights are spent in the Bronx I don’t fancy cycling anywhere :laughing:

I would mate but I go through about 20+ different trailers a week

I used to rest the wheels on the catwalk and use a ratchet strap to secure it to whatever you can find. Probably best not to take your “best” bike as I found the vibration of the cab against the handlebars - or whatever other bits were resting against the cab - would cause minor cosmetic damage.
I took a hack bike with me everywhere I went when I was tramping. Ideal for getting into towns, going to the pub or just going out for a ride on a pleasant evening.

It is ok to stow in the passenger well of the cab by taking off one of the wheels.Or have the frame on the bunk.On a curtain trailer,just put it inside the trailer with a good lock.

just stick it in the back of the trailer
