Motorcycles and scooters are not only valuable, but also hard to protect while being transported. Though, it turns out that everything depends on the way we do it and how much previous experience with transport we got. It is feasible to ship a motorcycle or a scooter without obstacles, no doubts about that. The way it will be secured depends on the mean of shipment. Owing to some valuable advice you will prevent any scratches, and dents that often happen if a scooter or motorcycle is not properly secured.

When you are moving your motorbike on a trailer you will need four belts to strap it down. If you use a trailer specially designed for motorbikes or scooters, it already has been equipped with the rail that stabilises the motorcycle. In this case you will need only 2 belts. It is essential 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 looking at the sharp angles or elements that may possibly rip the belts and make it impossible to safely transport your motorcycle. It's also reasonable to transport a motorbike inside a van. The protection and equipment necessary to keep the motorcycle installed safely in one place will not vary too much from other methods mentioned before. One thing to be considered will be the installation of the side pads to protect the insides of the truck and other objects that may be transported just next to the motorbike.

There are also platforms that attached to a truck or another vehicle, can help you ship your motorbike without occupying the whole space in the van.

Do not forget to check with the transport company if the equipment they provide will suffice to carry your motorcycle. For instance, using a wooden platform for lifting your scooter 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.
