Motorcycles and mopeds are not only valuable, but also hard to secure when transported. Although, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we have gathered. It is possible to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without hussle, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the method of shipment. Thanks to some useful advice you will prevent any scratches, and dents that may happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are transporting your motorcycle using a trailer you will need 4 strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is created for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only 2 strapping belts. It is neccessary 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 looking at the sharp edges or parts that may possibly rip the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also feasible to transport a motorbike in a van. The protection and equipment obligatory to keep the motorbike installed safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing worth considering will be the installation of the side pads to secure the insides of the truck and other objects that might be transported with the motorcycle.

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

Remember to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to ship your motorbike. For example, using a wooden platform for lifting your scooter and loading it in a van could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
