- Motorcycle hauling via air. Apart from water shipping method, air is another overseas or international shipping method that it is much faster and more expensive.
How to prepare your motorcycle for shipping
- Begin by cleaning the exterior and interior parts. After washing, the damaged or defective parts are more noticeable.
- The discovered damages should not go unrecorded or else you will have a hard time trying to convince your shipper of the pre-shipping conditions.
- To add on the evidence of the pre-shipping state of the motorbike, take several pictures of the bike ahead of shipping. All angles should appear on the images.
- Lower levels of the gas to prevent fumes filling up the shipping vessels. Fumes burst into flame in the presence of heat. A ¼ tank of gas is advisable.
- There are other fluids used by motorbikes and are either inflammable or corrosive. It is advisable to withdraw them before calling the shipper.
- Before loading the bikes into the trucks, ensure the battery is fully charged.
What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company
- Protect your motorcycle by ensuring that the shipping service you are using has a motor carrier indemnity. Find out also the types of risks they cover. There are many metrics to determine which risk is prone in the area you are shipping to and from.
