Motorcycles and scooters are not only expensive, but also hard to secure while being transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we got. It is doable to transport a motorbike or a moped without obstacles, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the method of shipment. Thanks to some valuable advice you will prevent any damages, and dents that are likely to happen when a scooter or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are moving your motorbike on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is dedicated 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 essential 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 transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or items that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also reasonable to transport a motorbike inside a truck. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorcycle standing safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration is installing the side pads to prevent any damage to 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 another vehicle, can help you ship your motorbike not occupying the entire space in the truck.

It is important to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be enough to transport your motorcycle. For instance, using a wooden platform 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 serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
