For many motorhome owners, bringing their own motorbike or scooter is part of the ideal travel setup. Whether for spontaneous trips, city visits or off-road adventures, a two-wheeler offers maximum flexibility on the road. However, safe loading into the rear garage is a real challenge for many motorhome users.
Modern loading solutions such as Pollicino systems provide valuable support. They enable controlled loading and unloading, with less effort and with care for the equipment, both for beginners and experienced motorhome travellers.
Why is loading a problem?
Motorbikes and scooters are heavy, difficult to manoeuvre and have a high centre of gravity. Combined with narrow rear garages and limited space, dangerous situations can quickly occur. Without technical assistance, the risks include:
- back pain and physical strain
- damage to the vehicle or motorbike
- risk of slipping and falling
- unnecessary loss of time
Especially when loading and unloading frequently, using a professional motorhome garage motorcycle loading system is therefore a sensible investment.
Pollicino – over 75 years of experience in two-wheeler technology
Behind the Pollicino brand is the Italian family business Trabuio Innovazioni, whose history dates back to 1947. What began as a small workshop has developed over generations into a specialist in innovative mobility solutions.
This long-standing experience is directly reflected in the development of today’s loading aids. The result: durable systems, proven in everyday use and adapted to the needs of motorhome travellers.
The Pollicino concept: safe, modular and adaptable
All Pollicino products follow a clear principle: the two-wheeler is guided stably and moved evenly into the motorhome rear garage, without sudden movements and without unnecessary effort.
At the heart of the system is a robust loading rail with an integrated front wheel support. This holds the motorbike throughout the entire loading operation. Depending on the version, loading is carried out manually or electrically. A folding aluminium loading ramp provides additional comfort.
Electric loading aid: comfort at the touch of a button
The electric Pollicino loading aid is designed for users who want maximum comfort or who transport heavy motorbikes. After riding onto the rail, an electric motor pulls the vehicle into the rear garage.
Operation is carried out by remote control, allowing the entire process to be managed precisely. The vehicle remains guided in a stable and safe way at all times.
Benefits at a glance:
- effortless electric pull-in
- remote control operation
- suitable for vehicle weights up to 160 kg
- for wheel sizes from 8″ to 21″
- flexible installation on the left or right
Manual loading aid: robust and independent
For those who prefer to avoid electronics, the manual Pollicino version is a reliable alternative. The system significantly reduces the effort required and operates entirely without an electrical connection.
Thanks to its low own weight and simple mechanics, this version is particularly suitable for purists and long-term travellers.
Typical advantages:
- no power supply required
- low maintenance and long service life
- low own weight
- high load capacity up to 160 kg
Folding aluminium loading ramp: the ideal addition
The Pollicino access ramp makes it easier to ride onto the loading aid or directly into the rear garage. It is made of high-quality aluminium, supports up to 340 kg and folds away to save space.
It is therefore suitable both as an addition to the Pollicino system and for universal use.
Who benefits most from a loading aid?
A professional loading aid is particularly useful for:
- motorhome drivers with heavy motorbikes
- travellers with limited physical strength
- users with small rear garages or narrow garage compartments
- motorhome travellers who frequently change location
Anyone who regularly travels with a two-wheeler benefits in the long term from greater safety, comfort and time savings.
