Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle
- Open-air and enclosed transport
You have probably seen open auto transport carriers on the road a couple of times before. Most are flatbeds that can only ship one or two vehicles. Well, we use the same open ended principle to ship your motorbike as opposed to towing it to the intended destination.
When it comes to enclosed or covered transport, the carriers we use look like a typical box truck closed up with 4 solid walls. We use this method for customers who want to perk up the security level for their motorcycle. Due to the wall restrictions on this type of carrier, we cannot fit in as many motorcycles as we would in open transport.
- Terminal to terminal transport
Your motorbike will be loaded at a terminal on one end of LaSalle and offloaded at another terminal at the final destination.
- Crated transport
We use a container made of wood to safely ship your motorcycle.
- Door to door delivery
We also provide shipping services from a designated address or location to the set up destination address without involving you in the logistics of having to collect your motorbike from the depot or a shipping yard.
