Motorcycles and mopeds are not only expensive, but also not easy to protect while being transported. Although, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we gained. It is doable to transport a motorbike or a moped without troubles, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of shipment. Thanks to some useful tips you will avoid any damages, and dents that may happen when a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are shipping your motorcycle on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only 2 strapping belts. It's essential to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up by accident during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or items that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also doable to transport a motorbike inside a truck. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorbike resting safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing worth considering is installing the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the car and other objects that may be transported next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or van, can let you ship your motorcycle not 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 transport your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorcycle and loading it in a van could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
