Motomel custom 200 (No. 7375255)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only valuable, but also difficult to protect when shipped. Though, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we have. It is possible to ship a motorbike or a scooter without hussle, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the method of shipment. Owing to some useful tricks you will prevent any scratches, and dents that may happen if a scooter or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are shipping your motorcycle 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 is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only two strapping 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 accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth checking the sharp angles or items that may possibly tear up the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also reasonable to transport a motorcycle inside a truck. The protection and equipment obligatory to keep the motorbike resting safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be 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 motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a car or another vehicle, can help you ship your motorbike not occupying the whole space in the van.

Check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will suffice to transport your motorbike. For example, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a van could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause substantial damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
