ATV, Motorcycle and Side-by-Side Transport

Moving an ATV, a side-by-side or a motorcycle is not a regular move. The vehicle is heavy, it doesn't fit in a box, and it has to stay steady the whole way. At Vova Moving Services we arrange transport for off-road vehicles and two-wheelers across central Israel and the Shfela: Rishon LeZion, Rehovot, Ness Ziona, Yavne, Ashdod, Be'er Ya'akov and all of Gush Dan. We move ATVs (quad bikes), RZRs and other side-by-sides and UTVs, buggies, dirt bikes (motocross and enduro), road motorcycles, scooters, and jet skis that sit on their own trailer.

Why does an ATV need transport? ATVs and side-by-sides aren't driven on the road like a regular car, and even where it's allowed, there's no point putting dozens of kilometers of asphalt on them. If you live in Rishon LeZion or Rehovot and want to ride in the Negev, in the southern dunes or on a trip up north, the vehicle has to get to the trailhead. The same goes for picking up a new vehicle from a dealer, taking it to an off-road service shop, or getting it home after it got stuck out on a trail.

Every vehicle is loaded a little differently. An ATV is short and wide and is tied down at all four corners. An RZR or other side-by-side is longer, wider and much heavier, so not every trailer fits, and we always ask for the model. A buggy loads much like a side-by-side. A dirt bike is relatively light but narrow and tall, and it needs to stand upright with the suspension slightly compressed. Road motorcycles and scooters are strapped from the handlebars and the rear, never across plastic panels, cables or mirrors. A jet ski comes on its own trailer, so the only question is who tows it.

Non-running or stuck vehicles: a dead battery, a bike that sat in the yard for months, an ATV that broke down mid-trip, or a side-by-side stuck in sand. We can move these too. Just tell us in advance, because a vehicle that doesn't run is pushed up the ramp, pulled with a winch or loaded with an extra pair of hands, and the crew needs to come prepared. If the vehicle is off-road and not next to a road, describe exactly where it is and we'll check whether it can be reached.

How it's loaded and secured: the vehicle goes up onto a low trailer or a truck with a ramp, either driven slowly or pushed. Once it's in place, it's strapped down with ratchet straps to fixed anchor points. ATVs and side-by-sides usually get four straps, one per corner, and motorcycles get straps from the handlebars and the rear. The principle is simple: the vehicle shouldn't move at all, not even under hard braking or in a sharp turn. Unloading is the same process in reverse, slowly and under control.

Common cases: you bought an ATV, a side-by-side or a motorcycle second-hand and the seller lives in another city, the vehicle needs to go to a mechanic, you're heading out on a trip south or north, you sold a vehicle and it needs to reach the buyer, you bought a new one from a dealer, or you're moving house and your vehicles are moving with you. We move one vehicle or several, depending on what fits safely on the trailer.

What to send us for a quote: a photo of the vehicle, the model if you know it, where from and where to, whether it starts and drives, and a date that works for you. If there's more than one vehicle, tell us how many and what they are. With these details we check which trailer fits and get back to you with a quote. We only give a price once we understand the distance, the type of vehicle and its condition. You're welcome to ask about insurance during transport when we talk.

Before the transport it helps to prepare the vehicle: remove loose items such as bags, boxes and helmets, make sure there's no fuel leak, have the key ready, and tell us about any existing damage so we know where not to run a strap.
