1. How motorbike transport differ from car shipping?
The first thing that comes to your mind when you think about
transportation would be cars and motorbikes. This is because cars
and motorcycles are two of the most widely used vehicles. More
and more people are fascinated by bikes which come in many
varieties like sports bike, touring bikes, big bikes, dirt bikes etc. Cars
also have similar fan following with many fanatics going behind
luxury cars, sports cars and a lot more. When it comes to transport
of these vehicles people tend to have many qualms. There can be
some slight differences in car shipping and motorcycle shipping
anyways.
Since car has handbrake and four wheels it assures extra stability.
This stability is different for motorcycles in the sense that it only has
two motorcycle parts that would make it stable. The two wheels and
stand assures steadiness for the bike. Many people have a wrong
notion that motorcycle transportation is comparatively cheaper than
car shipping since the size of the bike is small compared to cars.
But this is not the case as motorbike delivery calls for more care
and responsibility.
Generally the motorcycle transporters make use of closed carriers
for transit. These carriers are usually the same size with the room in
which cars are being shipped. The closed carriers would have
specially designed palettes for the purpose of shipping. These
specialized settings would make sure that the bike is secured in
place during the shipment. In addition, these make the shipping
service a little high. However you need to do proper research before
taking the services from motorcycle transporters. If you are clever
you can ask for discounts and make the shipping happen at a
minimum cost. The best thing you need to do would be to look
around for a reliable shipping company that would carry out vehicle
transportation safely and also offer a reasonable shipping cost.
The criteria for selecting reliable shipping company should not be
confined to discounts and carriers alone. You need to look for a
company that includes insurance in their shipping quote so as to
ensure that you would get compensation if ever there happens to be
some scratches due to reckless driving as well as some unexpected
2. turn of events. Such incidents can most likely happen during the
shipping and thus you need an insurance that will compensate the
future damage and accident. There is yet another attraction to these
insurances as they would give clear and straightforward policies
that will help the clients understand their responsibilities and limits.
Prior to the shipping of you vehicle, the owner is responsible to carry
out certain work. You need to clean your bike thoroughly for
identifying any existing hitches or scratches. The bike should be
steam cleaned and vacuumed before shipping. Some motorbike
delivery companies offer cleaning services as well. Another thing to
de done is motorcycle crating with the battery disconnected and
fuel drained. If the crate is made of wood, make sure that it is quality
timber. Else the company would ask for additional fumigation
charges.
