Trusted Motorcycle Logistics, Shipping, and Transport in Ogden, 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 marring the bodywork, and guarded from road spray, rock strike, and anything shifting in the trailer beside it. Open auto carriers deliver bikes there. They do not always get them there the way they left. Redman Van & Storage transports motorcycles from Ogden in enclosed, secured equipment with crews who handle high-value cargo every day.

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

FAQs
Do you ship non-running motorcycles?
Yes. Non-operational, project, and partially disassembled bikes are managed routinely. They are lifted or winched onto the equipment rather than ridden, so the bike does not need to run or hold a charge. Let us know the condition when you request 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 want protected, yes. Enclosed transit prevents road spray, rock strike, weather exposure, and public visibility. For premium, custom, vintage, and collector bikes the gap in protection is considerable; for a well-worn commuter bike an open option may be sensible.
How should 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, record any existing damage, and confirm tires are inflated so the bike rolls. Our crew completes a condition report with photographs before loading.
