Open Motorcycle Transport

Open Bike Transport Open bike transport involves the use of an open carrier like a designated motorcycle trailer or flatbed. Basically, the motorcycle is transported on an open trailer, tied down with straps. Localized motorcycle open shipping of the trailered bike usually occurs on smaller open motorcycle trailers that carry 1-4 motorcycles. 

Cross-country motorcycle transportation is likely to occur on larger open trailer carriers capable of carrying larger numbers of motorcycles and specialized bike moves requiring a larger trailer to get transported on.

The vehicles used for open transport have no sides or roofs, and they are entirely open. Open motorcycle transport is suitable for long-distance hauling and expedited shipping.

If you want to move a motorcycle out of state to a client or as a personal owner, most of the bike carriers we use will be able to help you.

Advantages of Open Bike Transport

Advantages of Open Bike TransportThe most significant benefit of open motorcycle transport is affordability. If you have strict budget requirements, open motorcycle shipping is a viable option. Because the carriers we secure for this type of shipment are reliable and experienced, you can also rest assured that your motorcycle is in safe hands.

Another benefit of open transport is that the driver can inspect the motorcycle for fastening issues or other problems throughout the transportation of the motorcycle shipmentThere are drawbacks to the open transport type, however. The open trailers or multi-carriers have no covering, so your motorcycle is exposed to the sun’s UV rays, wind, and road grime and dust.

Consider Enclosed Transport for Your Motorcycle

Consider Enclosed Transport for Your Motorcycle Exposure to harsh elements and grime build-up on the road is a problem for most motorcycle owners. Requesting enclosed transport for your motorcycle will limit its susceptibility to damage from road conditions, as enclosed trailers have walls and a roof.

eShip Motorcycle Transport division recommends enclosed transport with hard walls and a hydraulic lift, as this method eliminates the risk of any damage during transit. Enclosed transport is more expensive than open transport, but you will have peace of mind that the covering protects your motorcycle against the conditions on the road. Contact us to request hard-wall enclosed transport with the use of a hydraulic lift.

eShip Transport guys moved 2 of mine and my sister's cars for us. The move required some advanced planning on the best way to carry it out and it was last minute but the way they managed that made me a fan of them for life. Super impressed.

I was shocked when eShip Transport not only answered the phone on a Sunday night but also happily offered availability to do my vehicle move the next morning. The service was great but they won my heart with that one call. So I am more than satisfied with them.
