The village of Westchester serves as the home of the McFetridge Sports Centre. Any sports enthusiast knows how fun the tennis and ice sports can get but it's such a bummer that the fun cannot be extended to motorsports. Well, that is why shipping companies exist to help you transport your motorbike to another location that is a bit more motorsport friendly. Regardless of whether you live for the sport or for sheer fun, your interest should be drawn to one in particular ̶ A-1 Auto Transport.

Different methods we can use to ship your motorcycle

• Open-air and enclosed transport

Our standard shipping method is the open-air transport and we offer it to customers moving over very short distances. Most customers going for this method want to save on expenses related to securing the motorbike for transportation. Yes, your motorbike is exposed to the open road conditions but we will ensure that it gets to the destination in one piece. Enclosed transport method, on the other hand, is safer as your motorbike is shielded with a canvas or fibreglass partition.

• Crated Transport

We will transport your motorbike in a wooden crate that is well labelled to avoid misplacement. We, however, require your cooperation in the preparation of the motorbike by disconnecting your battery, emptying fuel tank and taking other steps which we shall look into later on.

• Door To Door Transport

Our motorcycle delivery system stretches as far as your home or business residence. We do not mind getting as close to you as humanly possible. However we require you to inform us if your place is inaccessible, say, the road is not passable so that we can figure another way out.

• Terminal to terminal transport

For this method, you will be required to transport your motorbike to a docking area next to your residence, that is, an airport, railway terminal, or our offices. Thereafter, we will ship your motorbike to our operating area or the correlating terminal at the final destination.

What to look for in a motorcycle shipping company

• Seasonal changes

With modern technology, most shipping companies use temperature controlled shipping containers for safety during the different seasons. The temperature of the shipped goods is kept at a constant to prevent freezing or overheating. Your motorbike should also benefit from this strategy especially if you are shipping during the winter season.

• Handling

In handling, you look at how the shippers will load your motorbike into the truck, their security measures during transportation and how they offload the bike. Some shipping companies stack up motorcycles to create more space for shipping multiple motorcycles. Others pack them side by side as it is easier to pull them out and there is minimal chance for the motorbike at the bottom of the pile getting damaged by excessive weight.

• Container size

Shipping companies work with containers that are as small as 20ft. and as large as 40 ft. Ensure that the size is perfect for the motorbike brand that you have especially when shipping in large numbers.
