Moto Guzzi Bellagio (No. 6693241)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only valuable, but also hard to protect while being transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we got. It is possible to transport a motorcycle or a moped without troubles, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the type of transportation. Owing to some useful tricks you could prevent any scratches, and dents that often happen if a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are moving the motorbike using a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is dedicated for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only two 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 by accident during the shipment.

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

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

Check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to transport your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike 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.
