Quadrocycles are increasingly being acquired not only by fans of extreme rest, but also by avid hunters and fishermen. Of course, you can take an all-terrain vehicle and get to your destination, but more often it is more convenient and faster to deliver it using a trailer. But not every trailer is suitable. What to look for and how to choose a suitable trailer for transporting a quad bike? - the specialists of the company “Expedition Trailers” helped to understand.

Check dimensions

На рынке представлено множество моделей и вариантов прицепов. В первую очередь посмотрите габариты своего квадроцикла: он должен свободно помещаться на платформу прицепа. Часто квадроциклы оборудуют мощными и широкими внедорожными колёсами, поэтому измерьте габариты транспортного средства, учитывая их.Читать далее о том, как выбрать прицеп для квадроцикла-->

Endure any test

Russian roads cannot be called ideal, and when transporting a quad bike, you often have to drive on a dirt road. Not the simplest tests for a vehicle: stones and branches hit against the bottom and sides.

What do manufacturers offer? There are two options for processing the frame and the drawbar: hot dip galvanizing and powder coating. The first method will make parts more resistant to mechanical damage and corrosion. Therefore, we advise you to choose a trailer, the details of which are processed by hot dip galvanizing.

Easy loading

It is better to choose a trailer with a tipper mechanism - this will facilitate the process of loading the ATV. The body of the trailer simply leans back, and you can either pick up on an ATV, or tighten it with a winch. If there is no dumping mechanism, then you will have to think about acquiring special ladders or gangways.

Since during loading and loading, the quad will drive into the tailgate, it must be durable and reliable. Therefore, the sides and hinges must be reinforced. The most suitable option is galvanized iron together with laminated plywood. And there is a simple rule: the thicker the metal, the better.

Do I need an awning

The awning, as a rule, is not included in the standard package of the trailer. And many fans of ATVs do not acquire it, but simply cover the all-terrain vehicle with a special cover. On the one hand, it protects the vehicle from dust and dirt. On the other hand, nothing more can be put inside. And if an awning is installed, then you can put bags, tents, etc. in the body, and everything will also be closed from road dust.

Awnings are aerodynamic with a beveled front edge and rectangular. The first reduce the force of aerodynamic impact and reduce windage.

Security

If you do not park the trailer in the yard of your own home or special parking, then you need to think about anti-theft tools. Indeed, often all-terrain vehicle lovers have to leave the car with a trailer in the "open field".

There are several options: cheap anti-theft locks. They are inserted on the drawbar and fix the handle, the attackers will not be able to disconnect the trailer. If you leave it not in the composition of the road train, then an anti-theft ball will come to the rescue, which is installed in place of the tow bar.

Versatility

Among the trailers for the transport of ATVs, you can often see models with very low sides. In fact, these are just platforms. A good and convenient option, but it significantly limits the functionality. On such a trailer you will not bring firewood to the cottage or furniture during the move.

As they say: forewarned, forearmed. So you now know what to look for when choosing a trailer for an ATV.
