Honda CBR 600

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.
