Whether you need uncrated, pallet, container or crated shipping, we’ve got you covered with professional methods tailored to your needs. Explore the motorcycle shipping methods we offer and find the one that fits your journey best.
Uncrated Motorcycle Shipping
Estimated Delivery: 1-4 Weeks
Uncrated motorcycle shipping is perfect for riders who want a simple and effective transport solution without using a pallet or crate. Bikes are secured directly to the shipper’s enclosed trailer with soft tie-down straps, ensuring a snug and damage-free ride. Most trailers feature floor tracks to keep your wheels stable throughout the journey.
Key Details:
- Secure Transport: Front and rear tie-downs ensure stability.
- Cost-Effective: Rates are typically based on mileage, regardless of bike size.
- Accessible Delivery: Pick-up and drop-off points must accommodate tractors/trailers.
Uncrated shipping offers a balance of simplicity and reliability. If direct access isn’t available, the shipper can meet you at a nearby location.
Metal Pallet Motorcycle Transport
Estimated Delivery: 2-4 Weeks
Metal pallet shipping combines the durability of a heavy-duty platform with the added protection of soft tie-down straps. Your bike is mounted onto a sturdy metal pallet, secured in an enclosed trailer, and transported door-to-door.
Why Choose Metal Pallet Transport?
- Enhanced Protection: The metal pallet adds a solid foundation.
- Convenience: Trucks equipped with ramps or lift gates make loading easy.
- Flexible Locations: Pick-up and delivery can be arranged if tractor/trailer access is limited.
Metal pallet bike transport is a trusted method, ensuring your motorcycle arrives in pristine condition.
Wood Pallet Motorcycle Shipping
Estimated Delivery: 2 Weeks
Similar to metal pallet shipping, wood pallet transport provides a reliable way to ship your bike securely. A wooden pallet is used to stabilize your motorcycle, with soft tie-down straps securing it for the journey.
Features:
- Door-to-Door Service: Enclosed trailers ensure your bike is protected.
- Online Tracking: Monitor your shipment in real-time.
- No Loading Docks Required: Trucks with ramps and pallet jacks make the process hassle-free.
Wood pallet shipping is an excellent middle ground, offering solid protection at a competitive rate.
Container Motorcycle Transport
Estimated Delivery: 2-3 Weeks
Container motorcycle transport is a fantastic option for terminal-to-terminal shipping. Your bike is secured inside a heavy-duty metal container, providing robust protection during transit.
Highlights:
- Custom Containers: Designed specifically for motorcycles, with tracks and tie-down loops.
- DIY Security: Bring your tie-downs and locks to secure your bike inside.
- Scalable Options: Containers come in various sizes to accommodate small to large bikes.
This method requires you to deliver and pick up the bike at the shipper’s terminals, typically located near major airports. It’s a cost-effective choice for long-distance enclosed motorcycle transport.
**Note: Maximum inside dimension 98″L x 44.6″W x 47.6″H
Crated Motorcycle Shipping
Estimated Delivery: 1-5 Days
For maximum protection, crated motorcycle shipping is the way to go. This method involves enclosing your bike in a crate to shield it from external elements and potential damage during transit.
How It Works:
- You provide your own crate and secure your bike within it.
- Crates must meet size and material standards (e.g., plywood sides and top).
- Fluids are drained, and the battery is disconnected before shipping.
Additional Benefits:
- Comprehensive Tracking: Monitor your bike’s journey online.
- Insurance Options: Limited coverage included, with additional protection available.
Enclosed motorcycle transport is ideal for high-value or custom motorcycles, offering unparalleled peace of mind.
