Motorcycles and mopeds are not only valuable, but also hard to secure while being shipped. However, it turns out that everything depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we had gathered. It is possible to ship a motorbike or a moped without obstacles, undoubtedly. The way it will be secured depends on the method of transportation. Owing to some valuable advice you can prevent any damages, and dents that could happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are moving your motorcycle on a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer that is dedicated for motorcycles or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only 2 strapping belts. It's essential to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or items that may possibly cut the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also reasonable to transport a motorcycle inside a van. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorbike standing safely in one place will not differ too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be the installation of the side pads to secure the insides of the truck and other objects that will be transported with the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that attached to a truck or another vehicle, can let you ship your motorcycle without occupying the entire space in the truck.

Check with the shipping company if the equipment they provide will suffice to carry your motorcycle. For instance, 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.
