Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle (No. 7570321)

Motorbikes and mopeds are not only valuable, 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 shipping we had gathered. It is possible to ship a motorcycle or a moped without troubles, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the type of shipment. Thanks to some helpful advice you can avoid any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are transporting your motorcycle using a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is dedicated for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been 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 objects that may possibly rip the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also feasible to transport a motorcycle in a truck. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorbike mounted safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be installing the side pads to secure the insides of the truck and other objects that will accompany the motorbike.

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

Do not forget to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will suffice to ship your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a truck could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause substantial damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
