New Product: Cycle Skid™*Motorcycle Shipping*Platform

SANTA ANA, CA*(November 17, 2016)*—*Motorcycle Shippers*is proud to introduce its proprietary*Cycle Skid™, a compact, wooden shipping platform that comes complete*with tie-down anchors, soft ties, ratchet straps and a bike cover that create a secure Perimeter of Protection® around motorcycles being transported by truck, boat, plane or rail.

Developed utilizing*Motorcycle Shippers’*experience*transporting more than 70,000 bikes around the world in the past 22 years,*Cycle Skid’s unique, three-piece, slide-together design facilitates quick, one-person setup, simple disassembly and convenient storage.

An economical alternative to bulky*motorcycle shipping*crates that incur huge shipping charges, the reusable*Cycle Skid is constructed from durable lumber that complies with all export regulations. Contained within the unit when stored are the*universal-fit, water-resistant, breathable*bike cover and six of*Motorcycle Shippers’ new*Soft Cinch™ tie downs.*These*66-inch straps have integrated soft-tie loops,*carabiner-style locking hooks and 1-inch*ratchets rated at 800 pounds.

Fully assembled, the platform is 104 inches long, 42 inches wide and has an 800-pound capacity*to handle most any bike. Compacted for storage, the skid is half as long and just 11 inches tall. Forklift- and pallet-jack-friendly, the Cycle Skid*can be shipped via FedEx and UPS due to its small size when collapsed and weight of less than 150*pounds.

Cycle Skid is perfect for globe-trotting adventurers who’ve reached the end of their overland route, domestic bikers sending machines to rallies, motorcyclists making long-distance moves and auction winners fetching new rides. On the commercial side, Cycle Skid is used by*trade show vendors, motorcycle tour operators, moving companies, exporters and barge operators to transport bikes between cities or continents.

Motorcycle Shippers*literally wrote the book on*motorcycle transport, then developed industry-standard software, hardware, training procedures and videos to ensure the fastest, safest pickup and delivery.

This*southern California-based company is the official provider for BMW’s MOA group, Kawasaki’s ROK program, the GWRRA and a longstanding member of the Motorcycle Industry Council.
