Motorcycle Shipping

Shipping a motorcycle isn't the same as shipping a car. It takes specialized equipment, the right tie-down technique and a driver who understands what makes a bike fall over on a moving trailer. Gech Inc works with carriers who ship motorcycles every week — sport bikes, cruisers, touring rigs, dirt bikes and custom builds.

Open vs Enclosed Motorcycle Transport

Open motorcycle transport ships your bike on a covered pallet inside a multi-vehicle trailer. Enclosed motorcycle transport puts your bike inside a fully enclosed trailer — strongly recommended for high-value sport bikes, custom paint and vintage motorcycles.

Our Motorcycle Shipping Process

• Bike loaded onto a wheel chock or transport pallet
• Secured with soft straps over the handlebars and frame
• Spacing maintained to prevent contact with other cargo
• Full inspection at pickup and delivery

Preparing Your Motorcycle

• Drain fuel to under a quarter tank
• Disconnect or disable the alarm
• Fold mirrors if possible
• Document existing scratches, fairing chips and tire wear
• Note any leaks (some carriers will reject leaking bikes)
