Ducati Monster 620 (No. 7519426)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also hard to secure when shipped. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we gained. It is doable to ship a motorbike or a moped without difficulties, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the mean of transportation. Owing to some helpful tips you will avoid any damages, and dents that often happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are shipping the motorcycle using a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is created for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only 2 strapping belts. It is crucial 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 shipment.

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 doable to transport a motorcycle inside a truck. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorcycle mounted safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration is the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the car and other objects that will accompany the motorbike.

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

It is important to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be enough to carry your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden platform for lifting your scooter 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.
