Types of Shipping
We offer the following shipping options when handling motorcycles for transport to Switzerland:
RoRo Shipping: Motorcycles are driven onto the ship via a ramp, sort of like in a parking garage. The name Roll-on/Roll-off stems from the fact that vehicles can roll-on/roll-off the ramp of their own power.
Once on the vessel, your motorcycle will be strapped and secured to prevent movement while at sea. The metal protector under the motorcycle will lock into place to prevent slipping and sliding. The tires won’t move because they are secured to the metal protector.
RoRo is an efficient and cost-effective method of shipping, with reliable departure and arrival dates. In fact, the ship’s departure and arrival schedule runs quite similarly to an airline flight schedule.
Shared Container Shipping: This is when multiple motorcycles are loaded into a container at a warehouse. Your motorcycle is loaded in a container with other motorcycles owned by other people. The container will not leave the warehouse or ship out until it is completely filled with motorcycles, to maximize cost and space efficiency. Thus, this method is not conducive to reliable fixed departure dates like RoRo.
Shared container shipping, a cost effective option, splits the shipping costs among all vehicles loaded into the container. Your motorcycle is strapped and secured to prevent movement while at sea. Unlike RoRo, the motorcycles are loaded and unloaded from the container, one at a time using a forklift.
Enclosed Motorcycle Shipping: If you can’t drive your motorcycle to the port yourself, we will transport your motorcycle to the departure port for you. It will be loaded onto a pallet and strapped securely, loaded into an enclosed air-ride truck for the most protected ride possible.
