Motorbikes and mopeds are not only valuable, but also not easy to protect while being shipped. However, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much previous experience with transport we gained. It is possible to ship a motorcycle or a moped without troubles, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the mean of transportation. Thanks to some helpful tricks you could prevent any scratches, and dents that often happen when a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are shipping your motorcycle on a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this situation you will need only 2 strapping belts. It is crucial 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 transport.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or objects that may possibly cut the belts and make the safe transport impossible. It's also reasonable to transport a motorcycle inside a van. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorbike resting safely in one place will not vary too much from other ways mentioned before. One thing worth considering will be installing the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the van and other objects that may accompany the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a car or van, can help you ship your motorbike without occupying the entire space in the van.

Remember to check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will be sufficient to ship your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden platform for lifting your motorbike and loading it in a truck could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause serious damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
