Piaggio Liberty 125 (No. 4764620)

Motorbikes and scooters are not only valuable, but also difficult to secure when transported. However, it turns out that most of it depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with transport we have. It is feasible to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without problems, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the method of shipment. Owing to some helpful advice you can prevent any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen when a moped or motorbike is not properly cared for.

When you are transporting the motorbike using a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorcycles or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this situation you will need only 2 belts. It is essential to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed hook will not open up by accident during the shipment.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or items that may possibly rip the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also feasible to transport a motorcycle in a van. The protection and equipment obligatory to keep the motorbike mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be the installation of the side pads to protect 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 truck or another vehicle, can help you ship your motorcycle not occupying the entire space in the van.

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 motorcycle and loading it in a van could pose danger to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
