Hi, looking at getting a 125cc engine delivered to me by night freight but cant find anything about how it is suppose to be packaged.
Can you wrap like a normal parcel or does it need to be crated?
Thanks, Grant

I'd ask the freight company.

If you can get the the sender too put it on a small pallet and strap it down or crate it. Night Freight are a franchise and the care each depot take with parcels and pallets vary wildly. You want it as protected as possible. If its on a small pallet, the drivers / warehouse staff don’t have too lift it and you have a better chance of it being OK.

It'll be around that, a big motor such as a Bandit 1200 is around 78kg with it's ancillaries and 67kg bare and dry.
