Motorcycles and mopeds are not only valuable, but also difficult to secure while being transported. Although, 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 motorcycle or a scooter without troubles, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the mean of transportation. Owing to some valuable tips you can avoid any damages, and dents that often happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

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

It is also worth looking at the sharp angles or parts that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also possible to transport a motorbike inside a truck. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle resting safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be installing the side pads to secure the insides of the car and other objects that may be transported with the motorcycle.

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

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