Shipping motorcycles internationally involves significant logistics planning and cost management. For collectors, dealers, and motorcycle clubs moving multiple bikes, volume shipping creates substantial advantages. West Coast Shipping's specialized bulk motorcycle transport solutions offer both economic efficiency and enhanced protection through consolidated management.
When shipping multiple motorcycles internationally, the financial benefits of bulk shipping quickly become apparent. Using container consolidation and wholesale shipping structures, businesses and individuals can achieve significantly lower per-unit shipping costs.
Motorcycle container shipping offers exceptional space efficiency compared to automobile transport:
20-foot container: Accommodates 5-7 motorcycles with proper securing systems
40-foot container: Fits 10-12 standard motorcycles
Custom racking systems: Specialized multi-level racks increase capacity to 8-10 motorcycles even in standard containers
By filling containers to capacity, the fixed costs (ocean freight, documentation, handling) are distributed across multiple vehicles, creating naturally lower per-unit rates. For more details on container capacity options, visit our specialty cargo container shipping guide.
Bulk shipping streamlines documentation and customs clearance:
Single bill of lading for multiple motorcycles
Consolidated customs entry and processing
Unified tracking and management systems
Coordinated delivery scheduling
These administrative efficiencies further reduce the effective cost of shipping each motorcycle while improving the customer experience.
