Why Motorcycle shipping companies?
A number of general transport companies of high repute ship a variety of vehicles including cars, trucks, alternative and over-sized vehicles, boats and motorcycles. However, almost all the consumer reviews discuss client experiences transporting regular size cars and the educational information on company websites is geared primarily toward clients shipping cars.
Most people don’t realize that motorcycle transport is more involved than the average car transport. A standard four-wheeled vehicle is more stable and easier to secure to a transport; with the exception of certain vintage, classic and exotic cars, motorcycles have more “fragile” parts that could become damaged if not secured properly with the correct type of strap or brace.
Type of Transport
Motorcycle shipping companies only use enclosed transports to move bikes, whereas you will incur added charges for choosing an enclosed transport at an all-purpose company (which may offer open transport options). Enclosed transports are preferred because they shield your bike from the elements, which could lead to rust, scratches, dings or damage to leather seats.
We use air-ride transports, which decreases the amount of vibration and shaking found in standard enclosed transports; the exceptionally smooth ride also decreases the amount of stress placed on the bike, making this the safest mode of motorcycle transport.
The Best Way to Ship a Motorcycle
When transporting a motorcycle, handlers need to be most careful when it comes to on/off loading and securing the bike. The all motorcycle team at Hunsky Trucking offers the best transport tools and methods including:
- Custom Pallets – almost all motorcycle shipping companies utilize pallets for their cost efficiency and safety; the best pallets have a groove in the center, which helps to stabilize the bike
- Hydraulic Lift Gates – keeps your bike upright and still, as it’s gently loaded on/off the truck
- Straps – made with a non-abrasive, yet strong, material to prevent scratching, straps are carefully placed to secure your bike; because we are familiar with different types of motorcycles, the straps are placed in a manner that will not damage the more delicate parts of the bike
Some motorcycle companies go even further by placing a protective cover over your bike, while others provide a tracking number connected to a GPS device on the transport that allows you to see exactly where your bike is on its journey.
