Triumph Rocket secure outdoor motorcycle storage – heavy cruiser Fatboy installation
Intro
This project documents secure outdoor motorcycle storage for a Triumph Rocket, focusing on safely accommodating one of the largest and heaviest cruiser motorcycles available. With no garage available, the customer required a robust outdoor storage solution capable of handling the Rocket’s size, weight, and wide stance while providing serious theft deterrence and weather protection.
An ArmadilloBoxes Fatboy motorcycle storage unit was selected to deliver maximum internal space, heavy-duty steel construction, and confident access for an exceptionally large cruiser motorcycle.
Customer requirement
Secure outdoor storage for a Triumph Rocket, suitable for an extremely large, heavy cruiser motorcycle requiring maximum stability and space.
The customer’s challenge
The Triumph Rocket is known for its massive engine, wide stance, and substantial weight. These characteristics make storage difficult, particularly when space is limited and standard motorcycle sheds are not designed to cope with such dimensions.
The customer needed a storage solution that would:
-
safely support the bike’s weight
-
allow comfortable roll-in access
-
provide strong theft resistance
-
protect the motorcycle from year-round weather exposure
The solution
A Fatboy ArmadilloBoxes motorcycle storage unit was installed to provide secure outdoor protection for the Triumph Rocket. The reinforced steel construction and ground anchoring deliver exceptional stability and theft deterrence, while the increased internal width and length allow the bike to be positioned comfortably without tight clearances.
This configuration is specifically suited to heavyweight cruiser motorcycles where standard storage units would be insufficient.
Bike and storage dimensions
Including dimensions helps clearly demonstrate how a very large cruiser fits inside a heavy-duty storage unit.
Triumph Rocket – bike dimensions
-
Length (overall): approx. 2500 mm
-
Width (handlebars): approx. 970 mm
-
Wet weight: approx. 291 kg
Storage unit used in this installation
-
Unit length: 2438 mm (8 ft) or larger Fatboy configuration
-
Internal width: Fatboy wide-body design
-
Door clearance:
-
980 mm with door opened to 180°
-
945 mm with door opened to 90°
-
This setup provides the clearance, strength, and stability required for one of the heaviest production motorcycles on the road.
Bike fit and access for heavyweight cruisers
Despite its size and weight, the Triumph Rocket fits securely inside the Fatboy unit with sufficient space to manoeuvre safely. The wide door opening allows controlled roll-in and roll-out access, reducing effort and minimising risk when handling a heavy cruiser motorcycle.
Why this setup works
-
Designed for heavyweight motorcycles – ideal for very large cruisers
-
Fatboy wide-body construction – increased space and stability
-
Steel-built security – strong theft deterrence
-
Fully enclosed storage – protects from weather year-round
-
Confident access – suitable for heavy bikes
