Motorbikes and mopeds are not only valuable, but also difficult to secure while being transported. However, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we gained. It is possible to ship a motorbike or a moped without troubles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the method of transportation. Owing to some valuable tips you will avoid any damages, and dents that may happen if a moped or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are transporting your motorcycle on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is dedicated for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only two belts. It is important 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 looking at the sharp angles or objects that may possibly rip the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also feasible to transport a motorbike in a truck. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorbike standing safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned above. 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 next to the motorbike.

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

Remember 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 scooter and loading it in a truck could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
