Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja (No. 6504352)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only expensive, but also not easy to secure when shipped. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we gained. It is doable to ship a motorcycle or a moped without difficulties, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the method of shipment. Owing to some valuable tricks you can prevent any damages, and dents that often happen when a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are moving the motorcycle on a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is created for motorcycles 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 should not open up accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or elements that may possibly tear up the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also doable to transport a motorcycle inside a truck. The protection and equipment obligatory to keep the motorcycle standing safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing worth considering is the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the van and other objects that may be transported with the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a truck or another vehicle, can help you transport your motorcycle without occupying the whole space in the van.

Remember to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be enough to ship your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorcycle and loading it in a truck could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.

Many of these companies can organise the transport, so that they can use the full capacity of their trucks. Thanks to that, shipment gets cheaper and more eco-friendly with less and less „empty runs”.
