The shipping of bikes needs the expertise of a professional mover so as to ensure that the move is made with relative ease and that the bike will be handled well. The situations under which motorcycles may have to be transported include the shipping of bikes to motorcycle dealers or purchasers, taking a faulty bike to a mechanic and salvaging a bike. Motorcycle shipping services may also have to be hired when it is not possible to use a bike due to adverse weather conditions or when the distance is too long and will lead to the possible wear and tear of its parts.
Our motorcycle shipping methods
The methods of motorcycle shipping that we use in the transportation of bikes to the destination include air transport, water transport, road transport and rail transport. The methods are all highly effective and suitable for different purposes. Air transport is suitable for making deliveries under circumstances in which there is a sense of urgency to have the bike delivered as soon as possible. Water transport is a reliable means of transporting motorcycles overseas. Since it is a slower means of transportation, it is suitable for use under circumstances in which the bike is not expected at the destination urgently. Road transport is the main means of transportation and commonly used to ship bikes to various addresses. Rail transport is an alternative to road transport and is more reliable since it does not have any delays in delivery.
Preparation of a motorcycle for shipping
The following are the activities that are done as you prepare a bike for shipping: Checking the engine, the level of the fluids and the inflation of the tires. Ensuring that the gas level is at a maximum of a quarter of the tank capacity, disabling the alarm system and removing the motorcycle accessories and any items hanging loosely from the bike will make it easier for the mover to handle your bike. To document the condition of the bike before it is shipped, cleaning the bike it, inspecting it and taking photographs of it should be done. The preparation of a bike that is to be shipped in a crate will involve draining the fluids and disconnecting the battery.
Searching for a mover
The search for a reliable mover will require you to conduct due diligence so as to ensure your choice will be the best one available. As you search for a mover, look for one that is fully bonded and licensed, insured and also approved by the Better Business Bureau. They should also meet the safety standards and be registered under both the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Additionally, they should have a variety of motorcycle transport solutions available. If you want extra value and convenience to suit your motorcycle shipping needs, you may consider a mover that provides tailored services.
