Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle

There are different methods by which we ship your motorcycle. We ship on land, over water, and on air.

Shipping on land entails open trailers and enclosed trailers. Of the two, enclosed trailers are the most expensive and reliable. They offer the highest form of protection to your motorcycles and are more suitable for motorcycles that are going to far distances and are fragile or expensive.

Open trailers are more suitable for motorcycles that are being shipped to nearby locations and are not fragile or expensive.

Shipping over water is more suitable for international or global shipments.

On air, we make use of air cargo to ship your motorcycles that are urgently needed at the receiving end.

Conduct a mini inspection on your motorcycle. Document every dent, scratches, or mark on your motorcycle before shipping. You can as well take pictures for visual representation.
Check your tires if they have the right amount of air in them. They must not be overinflated or underinflated.
