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

How We Protect the Motorcycle
Every Omaha shipment starts with a documented condition report and photos. Bikes are fastened with soft ties over the handlebars and wheel chocks at the front, never with straps compressing the suspension for the duration of the trip. Fuel is lowered, batteries are handled where required, and fairings and painted surfaces are padded. Non-operational and project bikes are lifted or winched rather than pushed.
Why Choose Redman Van & Storage
We have been handling irreplaceable, uncrated items 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 Omaha to anywhere in the country, and we can arrange secure storage in Omaha on either end of the trip.

FAQs
Do you transport non-running motorcycles?
Yes. Non-running, project, and partially disassembled bikes are handled routinely. They are winched or lifted onto the equipment rather than ridden, so the bike does not have to run or hold a charge. Let us know the condition when you request a quote so the right loading equipment is assigned.
Is enclosed transport a better choice than an open carrier?
For any bike with paint you care about, yes. Enclosed shipping removes road spray, rock strike, weather exposure, and public visibility. For high-value, custom, vintage, and collector bikes the gap in protection is significant; for a well-used commuter bike an open option may be sensible.
What's the best way to prepare my motorcycle for shipping?
Reduce fuel to about 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 fills out a condition report with photographs before loading.
