Motorcycles and mopeds are not only worth a lot, but also hard to protect when transported. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we got. It is possible to ship a motorcycle or a moped without obstacles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the type of transportation. Owing to some useful tricks you could avoid any scratches, and dents that often happen when a scooter or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are moving your motorcycle using a trailer you will need 4 strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only two belts. It's essential 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 shipment.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or items that may possibly cut the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also possible to transport a motorbike in a van. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorbike installed safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing worth considering will be the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the truck and other objects that might be transported just next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or van, can let you transport your motorbike without occupying the whole space in the truck.

Remember to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will suffice to ship your motorbike. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorcycle 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.

When listing your motorcycle on Clicktrans you can get  multiple great quotes from transport providers who have their account on Clicktrans.

Many of these providers can adjust the transport, so that they can utilise the full capacity of their vans. Thanks to that, the service gets cheaper and more eco-friendly with decreasing number of ”empty running”.
