BMW R 1200 GS Adventure (No. 7490061)

Motorcycles and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also not easy to secure when transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we have. It is possible to transport a motorbike or a moped without troubles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of transportation. Thanks to some helpful advice you will prevent any damages, and dents that could happen when a scooter or motorbike is not properly cared for.

When you are shipping your motorbike using a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only 2 belts. It's neccessary to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook should not open up accidentaly during the transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or objects that may possibly rip the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also possible to transport a motorcycle inside a van. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorcycle installed safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration is the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the car and other objects that may accompany the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or another vehicle, can help you transport your motorcycle without occupying the entire space in the van.

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