How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping

When planning for a bike shipment, usually the shipper offers you the guidelines comprising of the tasks you must do before the shipping date. Here are the simple instructions several companies provide.

• First, examine your motorbike for damage. By recording the state of your ride, you will prevent issues, especially when making indemnity claims.

To check for and document dings and dents:

• Thoroughly wash the entire bike.
• Make a report of what you can observe. Include cosmetic chipping and scratches if any.
• Note down any mechanical flaws.
• Take images of your motorcycle at various angles, together with detailed pictures of present damages.
• When your shipper arrives at the pick-up point, hand over all the dated records.
• Unless you are crating your scrambler, you do not have to detach the battery.
• Unscrew all motorcycle accessories from your bike as the hauler is not liable for them. If these get damaged, you will not get compensated.

What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company

• Be sure to vet about four shipping companies and ask for quotations. The quotes can be received on the phone or by using the estimator tool. However, one-on-one deals are the best as you can gauge these companies on a personal basis. The rates are dependent on the bikes’ weight, current gas prices, and distance. Discard all estimates that are significantly lower than the market price.
• Handling machinery. Make sure your motorbike is belted on a specialty skid using heavy duty straps. Skids are generally safe equipment to ship a bike as handling is reduced and there is a barrier between the bike and the trailer floor. The transport trailers should also have air ride features to diminish the vibrations related to bike transport. climate-control apparatus fitted in the trucks are also excellent for transporting during the winter season.
• Motorbike tracking. Many haulers in the USA will not provide customers with online tracking. This is a very important feature that your shipper should include in the packages. You can trace the whereabouts of the vehicle shipping your bike any time you want.
