Expert Motorcycle Logistics, Shipping, and Transport in Provo, UT
A motorcycle isn't a small car and it does not ship like one. It has to be loaded without pressure on the forks, strapped down without damaging the bodywork, and guarded from road spray, rock strike, and anything shifting in the trailer beside it. Open auto carriers get bikes there. They don't always get them there the way they left. Redman Van & Storage moves motorcycles from Provo in enclosed, secured equipment with crews who handle high-value cargo day in and day out.

How We Protect the Motorcycle
Every Provo shipment starts with a documented condition report and photos. Bikes are secured with soft ties over the handlebars and wheel chocks at the front, never with straps compressing the suspension for the length of the trip. Fuel is lowered, batteries are addressed where necessary, and fairings and painted surfaces are protected. Non-operational and project bikes are lifted or winched rather than pushed.
Why Pick Redman Van & Storage
We have been moving irreplaceable, uncrated property since 1891 — pianos, fine art, antiques, and laboratory equipment. A motorcycle is precisely the kind of cargo that this discipline was built for. Being a North American Van Lines agent we ship from Provo to any destination in the country, and we can arrange secure storage in Provo on either end of the trip.

FAQs
Do you transport non-running motorcycles?
Yes. Non-running, project, and partially disassembled bikes are managed routinely. They are lifted or winched onto the equipment rather than ridden, so the bike does not have to start up or hold a charge. Tell us about the condition when you ask for a quote so the right loading equipment is dispatched.
Is enclosed transport worth it over an open carrier?
For any motorcycle with paint you care about, yes. Enclosed transport removes road spray, rock strike, weather exposure, and public visibility. For high-value, custom, vintage, and collector bikes the difference in protection is significant; for a heavily used commuter bike an open option may be reasonable.
How do I prepare my motorcycle for shipping?
Lower fuel to approximately a quarter tank or less, remove or secure loose accessories, saddlebags, and GPS units, disable the alarm, document any existing damage, and ensure tires are inflated so the bike rolls. Our crew fills out a condition report with photographs before loading.
