Evaluate Motorcycle Transport Rates Received


There are four primary methods by which your motorcycle transport service can be carried out. The first is to have your bike transported on an open trailer. Unlike car transporters, motorcycles can be delivered by any vehicle capable of towing the right trailer. This increases your options and helps keep costs low. Merseyside motorcycle transport companies often use open trailers for short-distance moves, which can be a cost-effective option.

There may be various types of trailer services, so ensure the delivery firm is using a specialized motorbike trailer for the safest delivery. One major disadvantage of transport via an open trailer is exposure; your bike will be subjected to the elements during transport. However, many motorcycle transport Merseyside providers take extra precautions to ensure the bike is protected during transport.


The second method for motorcycle delivery is covered trailers. These are less common than standard open versions but using larger vehicles like vans and lorries for motorcycle transportation is common. Most man and van companies can adapt to transport motorcycles with the right hardware to keep the bike secure in the cargo area of the van. Merseyside motorcycle transport companies often use covered trailers for longer-distance moves or for high-value bikes that require extra protection.


About Merseyside, UK


Merseyside, UK, is a popular region for motorcycle enthusiasts, with many riders seeking motorcycle transport Merseyside services to move their bikes to and from the area. The region's proximity to major ports and motorway networks makes it an ideal location for motorcycle transport companies. Many people move to Merseyside for work or leisure, and Motorcycle transport Merseyside providers are often in high demand to help riders move their bikes to the region.


Prepare Your Motorcycle for Transport


Before your motorcycle collection/pickup takes place, we recommend you prepare for the transport. If you follow these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of issues. Cleaning: This isn't just for aesthetic purposes. Cleaning your Motorcycle will help you notice any damage or scratches that might have been previously hidden. Any dust or dirt on the bike can contribute to scratching paintwork during handling and moving.

Note damage: Documenting any nicks or scrapes on your bike with photographs will allow you to check if your bike has been damaged during transportation once it reaches its destination. Fluids: Depending on the policy of the motorbike transport company, you may or may not need to drain oil and petrol from your bike. This helps avoid potential leakages and is best from a safety perspective.

Tyres: Ensure tyres are properly inflated to prevent damage to rims and make the bike easier to move. Extras: Before the bike move, ensure there are no loose panels or accessories left on the bike that could easily come off during transit. If you're transporting your bike with its keys, consider tying them to the bike itself. If the transporter will ride your Motorcycle on public roads, ensure it's in working order, taxed, and has a valid MOT.


Your chosen Motorcycle delivery firm will give you a courtesy call when they are near the collection and delivery points, so you can help ensure you are present. Many transport firms on Shiply have completed thousands of motorbikes in their careers, so don't hesitate to ask them any questions if you have concerns.

Couriers on Shiply are able to provide all levels of service and can help pack your items, just ensure you inform them of your needs.

Will My Goods Be Tied Up Securely?

Transport providers will almost always tie up an item in the transport vehicle, as the risk of damage from moving around during transit is high. You should always confirm safety precautions and packing needs with transport providers before accepting a quote.

Can Items Be Taken Upstairs?

Yes, items can be taken upstairs if needed, and can also be assembled. Transport providers on Shiply are happy to provide these services, but you should ensure that you are mentioning these requirements in your listings as it may mean a second person is required for the move.

Can I Travel With My Goods?

The majority of transport providers on Shiply are only insured for the transportation of goods, however, some are also able to take people. If you need to travel with your goods, make sure to mention this in your listing and highlight this to any courier who quotes on your listing.

Can I Change The Address Of The Delivery?

Does Someone Have To Be Present For Pickup And Delivery?

In most cases, the motorbike delivery company will require you to be in attendance for the pickup and delivery of the motorbike. This is because there are likely to be release forms that you need to sign, as well as handing over the keys.

How Much Fuel Should I Have In My Motorbike During Transit?

Generally, you should aim to have around a quarter of your tank full if the motorbike needs to be moved during transport. This allows for easy loading and unloading of the motorbike but will not add too much extra weight to the vehicle.

Can I Ship My Motorbike If It Isn't Running?

You can ship your motorbike if it isn’t in running condition, however, this will be more expensive as specialist equipment is required to load and unload the vehicle.
