Motocykl z Krosna (Podkarpackie) do Londynu (NW4) (No. 1993640)

Motorbikes and mopeds are not only valuable, but also hard to protect when shipped. Though, it turns out that most of it depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we gained. It is feasible to transport a motorcycle or a scooter without difficulties, undoubtedly. The way you will secure it depends on the mean of transportation. Thanks to some useful tips you can prevent any scratches, and dents that may happen if a scooter or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are shipping the motorbike on 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 motorcycle. 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 hook should not open up accidentaly during the transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or items that may possibly rip the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also possible to transport a motorcycle in a van. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorbike resting safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing to be considered is installing the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the car and other objects that might be transported just next to the motorbike.

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

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be enough 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 severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
