Motorcycles and mopeds are not only valuable, but also difficult to protect when shipped. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we have gathered. It is possible to transport a motorbike or a moped without troubles, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the type of shipment. Owing to some helpful tricks you could prevent any damages, and dents that are likely to happen if a scooter or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are transporting the motorcycle using a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is 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 by accident during the transport.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or items that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also feasible to transport a motorbike in a van. 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 to be considered is installing the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the truck and other objects that will be transported just next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a car or van, can let you ship your motorcycle not occupying the entire space in the car.

Do not forget to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will suffice to transport your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike 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.
