Vespa GTS (No. 4909810)

Motorcycles and scooters are not only worth a lot, but also difficult to protect while being shipped. However, it turns out that the majority depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with shipping we got. It is possible to ship a motorbike or a moped without problems, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the method of transportation. Owing to some valuable tricks you could prevent any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen when a moped or motorcycle is not properly cared for.

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

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or items that may possibly tear up the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also feasible to transport a motorcycle in a van. The protection and equipment obligatory to keep the motorbike installed safely in one place will not differ too much from other ways mentioned above. One thing worth considering will be the installation of the side pads to prevent any damage to the insides of the car and other objects that may be transported with the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a car or another vehicle, can let you transport your motorcycle without occupying the entire space in the van.

It is important to 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 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.
