Motorcycles and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also difficult to protect when shipped. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with transport we have gathered. It is possible to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without obstacles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the type of shipment. Thanks to some helpful tips you can prevent any scratches, and dents that may happen if a scooter or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are shipping your motorcycle on a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is created for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only two strapping belts. It is important to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook should not open up by accident during the transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or elements that may possibly rip the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also reasonable to transport a motorbike inside a van. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorcycle mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing to be considered will be the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the car and other objects that may accompany the motorcycle.

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

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to transport your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your scooter and loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.

Many of these providers can organise the transport, so that they can utilise the full capacity of their cars. Thanks to that, transport gets cheaper and more environmentally friendly with decreasing number of ”empty running”.
