What kind of trailers are you using for ATV's?

TxFireman1972 · Jan 11, 2012

Looking to buy a trailer to haul three or four 4x4 4-wheelers. Just curious what everyone else is using for open trailers.

I found this when I was looking around, pretty cool concept:

in all seriousness. that is mine LOL LOL we fill it full too.

but that design you listed is awesome. we built a old 16ft tag along where the side rails pull off and you load from the side like the one you posted. it worked great till we got bigger toys and more of them

My buddy has a duece and a half with a GN hitch and like a 46ft trailer. He has a ton of friends that ride everything and he loads it two quads wide and takes a road trip to the dunes for 2 weeks every summer. Hes got a ton of money to drive the thing there LOL

Its B.A. seeing it roll out of town with a ton of cars behing him in a convoy fashion. But he only rolls around 52 all the way out so hes usually a bit late hahaha.

interesting thread OP!

I may just buy a car hauler, because I've been wanting one anyway. Just was curious to see what everyone else is using.

Just a standard car or equipment trailer. We modded a old jetski trailer to haul one fourwheeler behind a SUV too lol

Who needs a trailer? lol

That's a bad ass trailer

I use my 8 1/2' x 12' snowmobile trailer, I've only hauled 2 but could probably get a third on there. I already had the sled trailer so it was a no brainer to use for atv

I have a standard 16ft landscaping trailer - does the job well but would be much easier if we could load from the side like pictured.

Have a 16ft landscape trailer, and an aluminum trailer where the sides fold down as ramps that holds 2 atvs and a dirtbike can fit in between.

I pulled a trailer like that with the mesh gate on the back empty and it felt like I was pulling a house.. LOL I put a tractor on it and I didn't know it was there.. Them gates act like a wall..

TxFireman1972 · Jan 11, 2012

Yeah they do. When I had my lawn business, empty trailers with the mesh gates had terrible drag.

This is my 20ft lowboy. If we have more wheelers, we put the ramps on the side of the trailer and drive them over the side and load them side by side.

A lowboy without the sides would work great...

Got the snorkels on and headed to Crosby huh? lol

thats what we did-and cut the bars on the side to slide in and out and used ramps from the side.

I use my 20' bed car trailer. I would suggest not getting a dedicated ATV trailer. Lighter Axles along with not being able to use for other things. Having a car trailer is always nice unless your buddies want to use it all the time.

TxFireman1972 · Jan 11, 2012

I would definitely not have a dedicated ATV trailer, just curious what everyone's setups look like. Like I said, I'm really leaning towards a Car Hauler, probably 18'-20', because I have been wanting to get one anyway. I definitely want the heavier axles and beefier frame. A guy I know had one made for his Jeep, with extended sides and drive over fenders that I really like.
