Ducati Scrambler Desert Sled (No. 7136706)

Motorbikes and mopeds are not only valuable, but also hard to secure while being shipped. Although, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with transport we have gathered. It is possible to transport a motorbike or a moped without problems, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the method of transportation. Thanks to some helpful tips you will avoid any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen if a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are shipping the motorbike on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only two strapping belts. It's important 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 parts that may possibly rip the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also reasonable to transport a motorbike inside a van. The protection and equipment obligatory 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 protect the insides of the car and other objects that might be transported with the motorbike.

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

Remember to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be enough to carry your motorbike. For example, using a wooden platform for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a van could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
