Motorbikes and
mopeds are not only worth a lot, but also
hard to protect while being
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 feasible
to transport a motorbike or a scooter without hussle,
no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of shipment.
Thanks to some helpful tips you
can avoid any damages, and dents that
are likely to happen if a moped or
motorcycle is not properly secured.
When you are
shipping your motorcycle
on a trailer you will need four strapping belts to
strap it down. If you use a trailer specially
dedicated for motorbikes or scooters, it already
has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle.
In this situation you will need only two belts. It is neccessary 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 checking
the sharp angles or objects that may
possibly cut the belts and make it
impossible to safely transport your motorcycle.
It's also possible to transport a
motorbike inside a van. The protection and
equipment needed to keep the
motorcycle standing safely in one
place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above.
One thing to be
considered will be the installation of the side pads to
secure the insides of the car
and other objects that will be
transported next to the motorcycle.
There are also platforms that
attached to a car or van, can let
you transport your motorbike without occupying
the whole space in the truck.
Remember to check with the transport company if
the equipment they provide will suffice to carry
your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden
stand for lifting your motorbike and
loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing
the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause serious
damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
