Motorbikes and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also hard to secure while being shipped. Although, it turns out that the majority depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with transport we have. It is possible to transport a motorcycle or a scooter without hussle, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of shipment. Thanks to some useful tricks you could avoid any damages, and dents that often happen when a scooter or motorbike is not properly cared for.

When you are shipping the motorbike 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 situation you will need only 2 strapping belts. It's neccessary to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up accidentaly during the transport.

It is also worth looking at the sharp angles 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 needed to keep the motorbike resting safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the van and other objects that might accompany the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or van, can let you ship your motorbike without occupying the whole space in the van.

Remember to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will suffice to carry your motorcycle. For example, 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.
