Ducati monster s4r (No. 6806119)

Motorcycles and mopeds are not only valuable, but also hard to protect while being shipped. Though, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with transport we gained. It is feasible to ship a motorcycle or a moped without obstacles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the type of shipment. Thanks to some useful tricks you could prevent any scratches, and dents that may happen when a scooter or motorbike is not properly cared for.

When you are moving the motorbike on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is created for motorcycles or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only 2 strapping belts. It's 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 looking at the sharp angles or parts that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also feasible to transport a motorcycle inside a van. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorcycle standing safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration is the installation of the side pads to secure the insides of the van and other objects that may accompany the motorcycle.

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

Remember to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be enough to ship your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand 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 substantial damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
