BMW F800 S (No. 7066369)

Motorcycles and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also not easy to protect while being shipped. However, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we have. It is possible to ship a motorbike or a scooter without problems, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the type of transportation. Owing to some helpful advice you could prevent any scratches, and dents that could happen when a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are moving the motorcycle on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially created for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only 2 strapping belts. It's crucial 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 angles or items that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also reasonable to transport a motorbike inside a truck. The protection and equipment obligatory to keep the motorbike resting safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be installing the side pads to secure the insides of the van and other objects that might be transported with the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or another vehicle, can let you ship your motorbike not occupying the whole space in the van.

Remember to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to transport your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden platform 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 serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
