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

How We Secure the Motorcycle
Every Idaho Falls shipment starts with a documented condition report and photographs. Bikes are held in place 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 drained, batteries are managed where required, and fairings and painted surfaces are protected. Non-operational and project bikes are winched or lifted rather than pushed.
Why Choose Redman Van & Storage
We have moved irreplaceable, uncrated items since 1891 — pianos, fine art, antiques, and laboratory equipment. A motorcycle is precisely the type of cargo that discipline was built for. Being a North American Van Lines agent we ship from Idaho Falls to any destination in the country, and we can provide secure storage in Idaho Falls on either end of the trip.

FAQs
Can you ship non-running motorcycles?
Yes. Non-running, project, and partially disassembled bikes are managed routinely. They are winched or lifted onto the equipment rather than ridden, so the bike does not have to run or hold a charge. Tell us about the condition when you ask for a quote so the right loading equipment is assigned.
Is enclosed transport worth it over an open carrier?
For any bike with paint you want protected, yes. Enclosed shipping prevents road spray, rock strike, weather exposure, and public visibility. For high-value, custom, vintage, and collector bikes the difference in protection is substantial; for a well-worn commuter bike an open option may be reasonable.
How do I prepare my motorcycle for shipping?
Reduce fuel to roughly a quarter tank or less, remove or secure loose accessories, saddlebags, and GPS units, disable the alarm, document any existing damage, and confirm tires are inflated so the bike rolls. Our team completes a condition report with photographs before loading.
