Piaggio Liberty 125 (No. 7004261)

Motorcycles and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also difficult to secure when transported. Although, it turns out that the majority depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with shipping we gained. It is possible to transport a motorcycle or a scooter without troubles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the type of shipment. Thanks to some useful tricks you could prevent any damages, and dents that could happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

When you are shipping the motorcycle using a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is dedicated for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only two belts. It's 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 edges or elements that may possibly rip the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also doable to transport a motorcycle in a truck. The protection and equipment required 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 installing the side pads to protect the insides of the truck and other objects that might be transported just next to the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or van, can let you transport your motorbike not occupying the entire space in the car.

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be enough to transport your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden platform 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.
