Motorbikes and mopeds are not only valuable, but also difficult to secure while being transported. However, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with transport we got. It is feasible to ship a motorbike or a moped without obstacles, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of shipment. Thanks to some useful tips you could prevent any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are shipping your motorcycle using a trailer you will need 4 strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only 2 strapping belts. It's crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or parts that may possibly rip the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also possible to transport a motorbike inside a truck. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorcycle installed safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways 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 will be transported with the motorbike.

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

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