Non-palletized vs. palletized motorcycle shipping
All motorcycles we ship travel inside enclosed freight trailers — never on open car haulers. The choice between non-palletized and palletized comes down to how much additional protection you want for your bike during transit.
Non-Palletized (Standard)
Your motorcycle is loaded directly onto the trailer floor, secured with professional tie-down straps. This is our most popular and cost-effective shipping method, used for the vast majority of shipments.
Palletized (Premium)
Your motorcycle is mounted on a wooden pallet before loading, adding an extra layer of stability and isolation from the trailer floor. Recommended for low-clearance bikes, custom builds, or anyone who wants premium protection.
