2x small motorcycles + 1x small motorcycles caravan from Trieste to SW-Germany (No. 1466282)

Motorbikes and mopeds are not only expensive, but also hard to secure when shipped. Though, it turns out that most of it depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with transport we have. It is feasible to transport a motorbike or a scooter without difficulties, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of transportation. Owing to some valuable tricks you can prevent any damages, and dents that could happen if a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are shipping the motorcycle on a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is dedicated for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only two belts. It is important to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook will not open up by accident during the transport.

It is also worth looking at the sharp angles or parts that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also possible to transport a motorcycle in a van. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle standing safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing to be considered will be installing the side pads to secure the insides of the truck and other objects that might be transported next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or van, can help you ship your motorbike without occupying the entire space in the truck.

It is important to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be enough to carry your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause substantial damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
