Expert Motorcycle Transport, Shipping, and Logistics in Lincoln, NE
A motorcycle is not a small car and it doesn't ship like one. It has to be loaded without pressure on the forks, strapped down 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 don't always get them there the way they left. Redman Van & Storage ships motorcycles from Lincoln in enclosed, secured equipment with crews who move high-value cargo every day.

How We Protect the Bike
Every Lincoln shipment starts with a documented condition report and photographs. Bikes are secured with soft ties over the handlebars and wheel chocks at the front, never with straps pressing on the suspension for the duration 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 Redman Van & Storage
We have been transporting irreplaceable, uncrated property since 1891 — pianos, fine art, antiques, and laboratory equipment. A motorcycle is precisely the type of cargo that discipline was built for. As a North American Van Lines agent we ship from Lincoln to anywhere in the country, and we can provide secure storage in Lincoln on either end of the trip.

FAQs
Can you ship non-running motorcycles?
Yes. Non-operational, 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. Share the condition when you ask for a quote so the right loading equipment is dispatched.
Is enclosed transport worth the cost over an open carrier?
For any bike with paint you value, yes. Enclosed transit eliminates road spray, rock strike, weather exposure, and public visibility. For high-value, custom, vintage, and collector bikes the gap in protection is considerable; for a heavily used commuter bike an open option may be sensible.
What's the best way to prepare my motorcycle for shipping?
Bring down fuel to about 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.
