Motorbikes and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also difficult to protect while being transported. Though, 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 transport a motorbike or a moped without obstacles, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the type of shipment. Thanks to some valuable advice you can prevent any scratches, and dents that often happen when a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are moving your motorbike on a trailer you will need 4 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 situation you will need only two strapping belts. It is essential 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 items that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also feasible to transport a motorcycle inside a truck. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorcycle mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing worth considering is the installation of the side pads to secure the insides of the van and other objects that may be transported just next to the motorbike.

There are also platforms that attached to a truck or van, can let you ship your motorcycle not occupying the whole space in the truck.

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