Vespa LX 125 (No. 7048865)

Motorbikes and mopeds are not only valuable, but also hard to secure while being shipped. Although, it turns out that most of it depends on how we do it and how much prior experience with transport we got. It is doable to ship a motorcycle or a moped without hussle, no doubts about that. The way you will secure it depends on the method of shipment. Thanks to some useful advice you will prevent any scratches, and dents that are likely to happen if a moped or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are shipping your motorcycle using a trailer you will need four strapping belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already is equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only 2 strapping belts. It's crucial to use a closed hook at the ends of the belts, rather than an open one. The closed one will not open up by accident during the transport.

It is also worth checking the sharp edges or objects that may possibly rip the belts and hinder your efforts. It's also possible to transport a motorcycle inside a van. The protection and equipment required to keep the motorbike mounted safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned above. One thing that should be taken under consideration is the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the truck and other objects that may be transported with the motorcycle.

There are also platforms that hooked to a truck or van, can help 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 sufficient to ship your motorcycle. For example, using a wooden stand 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 severe damage to your motorbike/motorcycle.
