Motomel Strato Alpino 150 (No. 7234456)

Motorcycles and scooters are not only expensive, but also difficult to protect when shipped. Though, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we got. It is doable to ship a motorbike or a scooter without obstacles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of shipment. Thanks to some valuable tips you can prevent any damages, and dents that often happen if a moped or motorbike is not properly cared for.

When you are transporting the motorcycle on a trailer you will need 4 strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is created for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only two belts. It's neccessary to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook will not open up accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or items that may possibly rip the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also possible to transport a motorcycle in a truck. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorbike resting safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the truck and other objects that will accompany the motorcycle.

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

It is important to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will suffice to transport your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden platform 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.
