Usually, motorbikes are a very convenient means of transport when moving from one location to another. However, you will have to use the services of a firm to move your motorcycle in some circumstances. The different situations that might compel you to hire a company include:
- If your bike is being salvaged.
- If your motorcycle is inoperable.
- If a seller wants to deliver a bike to a buyer after they have made a purchase.
- If a motorcycle rally event is taking place and the contestants need their motorcycles shipped to the event location.
- If a motorcycle cannot be ridden too far this will cause heavy wear and tear.
- If severe weather conditions or bad roads make it impossible to operate your motorcycle.
Different Methods For Hauling
For us to move your motorbike, you can choose one of our available ways listed below.
- Road shipping. This is a convenient option for in-land hauling.
- Water delivery. This is an overseas method that mainly utilizes the port-to-port option.
- Rail moving. The train option is more convenient than the road option since there are no interruptions, unpredicted obstructions or alterations.
- Air hauling. On our list of options, this is the fastest and priciest.
Clients can choose to have their bikes transported using lowboy trucks, crates, containers, or enclosed vehicles for extra security. Delivery alternatives include door-to-door and terminal-to-terminal delivery.

How to Prepare Your Bike for Delivery

- Hiring a professional mechanic to complete the maintenance checks.
- Examination of the engine condition.
- Examination of the pressure in the tires.
- Examination of the level of fluids. You can drain them if at dangerous levels.
- Check that the level of the fuel in the tank does not exceed ¼ of the full capacity.
- Unscrewing the bike accessories.
- Detaching the battery if the crated shipping is to be used as the method.
- Examining your motorbike and capturing photographs that reveal its pre-moving state.
- Switching off the alarm system.
