Safe And Reliable Rock Island Motorcycle Shipping Services By A-1 Auto Transport
The shipping of bikes is a requirement which comes up when some situations arise. These include the transportation of a motorcycle to the address of a purchaser, to the address to which a mover is relocating and to the location at which a biking event is to take place. Additionally, a bike may have to be shipped when adverse weather conditions pose risks if a bike is ridden to the destination. A faulty bike will also have to be transported to the mechanic for it to be fixed. Motorcycle shipping services are mainly hired so as to ensure that a motorcycle will be transported safely and reliably.
Motorcycle shipping methods
The following are the methods of transportation that we use to move your bike.
- Shipping via rail: The bike is reliably shipped from one location to another, which are supported by rail transport. The bike will be delivered with minimal delays.
- Shipping via road: The bike is transported on a flatbed truck, open truck or motorcycle trailer. Our team of drivers delivers the bike to the address or terminal indicated.
- Shipping via air: The bike is delivered as quickly as possible in a cargo plane.
- Shipping via water: A cargo ship is used to deliver a bike to the receiving port.

Preparation of a motorcycle for shipping
A bike has to be prepared well before it is shipped. This activity helps in ensuring that the bike will be in good condition, easing the ability of the mover to handle the bike and ensuring that the safety precautions have been taken. The preparation activities will include checking the engine, the level of the fluids and the tire pressure. Ensuring that the gas is at a maximum amount of a quarter of the tank capacity is also required of you. If you have selected the crated shipping option, the additional preparation activities include draining the fluids and disconnecting the battery. Cleaning the bike thoroughly by washing away the dirt and debris and also removing the deposits from the tires should be done. Documenting the condition of the bike while doing an assessment of its condition should be done by making a report and taking photos of the bike.
What to consider as you search for a shipping company
As you are searching for a moving company, you should pose some questions so as to determine if the mover will provide you with reliable shipping solutions. These include:
- Is the company insured?
- Does the mover have relevant experience in shipping bikes and more specifically to Rock Island?
- Does the mover have a variety of shipping options available for hire?
- Does the company possess the valid documents?
- Does the company have a good reputation?
