Motorbikes and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also difficult to secure while being shipped. Though, it turns out that most of it depends on the way we do it and how much prior experience with transport we have gathered. It is feasible to ship a motorcycle or a moped without problems, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the type of shipment. Owing to some valuable tricks you could prevent any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen if a moped or motorbike is not properly secured.

When you are transporting the motorbike on a trailer you will need 4 belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer which is created for motorcycles or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorbike. In this case you will need only 2 belts. It is crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one should not open up accidentaly during the shipment.

It is also worth looking at the sharp edges or objects that may possibly cut the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also reasonable to transport a motorcycle in a van. The protection and equipment needed to keep the motorbike mounted safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration will be installing the side pads to protect the insides of the car and other objects that may be transported with the motorcycle.

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

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will be enough to carry your motorbike. For instance, using a wooden stand for lifting your motorcycle and loading it in a van could be dangerous to people providing the service or pedestrians passing by, but could also cause severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
