ATV Rack Or ATV Basket…Which Is Better For Your ATV?

Ask any ATV owner what they would improve on their ATV and the most common answer is:

  • Increase storage capacity
  • Easier to use luggage racks
  • More space for extra gear and supplies

One of the most important things while selecting a storage rack for an ATV is its capacity to store belongings. For going extended trips on the dirt trail you will need more space for extra food, water, extra gas, supplies and obviously tools.

If you are using the ATV rack for adventure and outdoor activities, you will surely want it to be durable and long lasting. So, make sure the storage rack that you are choosing is made from a material that is durable enough for your uses. May be one strong enough to handle the harshest of weather and heaviest of load.

So which is better for your ATV? The Rack or basket? Why not both??

ATV & UTV Sport Rack ATV Rack/ATV Basket Customer Review
Makes work EZ round the yard , good bye bungee cords on back deck to hold things in place . Putting together couldn’t be easier ,truthfully I had a harder time and longer time unpacking it out of the stout packaging , Building it two bolts and I was done . Solidly built with square and round tubing , a stout hitch mount which I might re-purpose to my mower . A couple quick changes to my hitch on ATV and was good to go . No problems towing my YUTRAX with the ATVSportRack installed . And since it folds up it only takes up an extra foot or so when ATV is stored . The GEARBAG also works great attached to the headache rack .good place to store your lunch and a drink keeping your ATVSportRack set for tools.

How to transport an ATV on a trailer

11/18/2021

In this article we will answer the questions:

  • Loading an ATV onto a trailer
  • How to attach an ATV to a trailer
  • How to choose straps
  • Basic errors

There are four ways to load an ATV into a trailer:

  1. Tightening with a winch attached to a trailer on a bracket. The safest, but longest way. It can also come in handy in case of a malfunction of the ATV.
  2. Pulling in with a winch mounted on the ATV itself. Nobody ever does this, but this is also possible.
  3. Check-in "under your own power" on ladders, boards or board ladder. Ladders, as a rule, are required only for two-axle trailers, in which the body does not tip over. It may also be a more comfortable way to drive into a short (2.45 m body) trailer - the shorter the trailer, the greater the angle of arrival, and the further you need to drive in order for the body to return to a horizontal position.
  4. The most popular way: tip over the body of a single-axle trailer for transporting an ATV, open the side (if side cables are installed, open the side first), drive the ATV into the trailer.

ATV entry into trailer МЗСА 817702.001-05 with plastic cover (body 2.45×1.5 m):

Quad bike entry into trailer MZSA 817717.001-05 (body 3.45 × 1.5 m):

Ways:

  1. Do not attach at all (no comments)
  2. Winch the ATV with a loop behind the drawbar, do not attach the rear
  3. Custom Mounts
  4. Tie-down straps for frame
  5. Tie down straps for wheels

Let's analyze all the methods in a little more detail.

Winch the ATV with a loop behind the drawbar, do not mount the rear at all

Usually they do it because someone they know does it. It is the same with fastening a boat with a winch on a boat trailer. If you open the instructions for absolutely any winch, you can make sure that it is forbidden to use it for securing cargo, and this can lead to the failure of the winch. You will need to spend both money and time to repair the winch, and the first question in the service center will be about exactly how you used it. The second disadvantage of this method of fastening is that the rear of the ATV remains without fixation. Also, the friction of the cable on the drawbar harms both the cable and the galvanization on the drawbar.

Custom Mounts

There are specialized mounts for ATVs. Previously (years until 2020) SuperClamp ATV/UTV mounts were made in Canada:

Also in Russia, until 2022, Quadrofix mounts were produced (similar to the American ATV Mighty TiTe Tensioner):

Quadrofix is ​​currently out of production, we are selling the last copies.

These fasteners are good for fixing speed, the ability to maintain the ideal weight distribution in the trailer, and aesthetics. Their only drawback is the cost.

Tie-down straps for frame

The most popular way to attach an ATV to a trailer. Reliable, cheap and fast enough. This is how we fasten ourselves. To do this, you will need 2 tie-down straps. Belts 25 mm wide are sufficient, but keep in mind that the ratchet mechanism of wide (50 mm) belts is more reliable.

An example of the correct method of fastening (winding the belt on the shaft is redundant - more on this below):

Tie down straps for wheels

You can also attach the ATV with straps to the wheels. For example, with the help of belts for a car transporter, a "bone" belt, or by passing the belt through rims. These are longer and more easily soiled methods.

Basic errors

  • Most often, ATV owners drive the trailer "all the way". In fact, the ATV and other cargo must be distributed in the trailer so that the load on the towbar ball is no more than 40 kg.
  • The task of the tie-down strap is to press the load to the floor. The more skeins around the load you make, the less clamping force. "Loops" around the load should always be zero.
  • Push the belt into the ratchet mechanism to the end, until the belt is fully tensioned, only then start working with the ratchet. If you leave a lot of slack, the ratchet will not be able to create the necessary tension, and the belt will be wound on the ratchet shaft so much that the mechanism will “jam” - you will have to unwind. Tie down straps are usually 5-6 meters long. If the strap is only used to attach the ATV, cut off the excess length - this will save time during use. The self-tightening belt will be even faster and more convenient to use.

How to transport the ATV correctly

ATVs are designed for driving on difficult tracks. On their own, they are not able to move along the highway for long distances, because the quadra has a large suspension travel. If you plan to ride away from home, the first thing you need to decide is how to transport the quad bike to the ride location. There are several ways to transport motorcycles. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing the best option, it is important to consider the distance between the start and end points.

If you need to transport the ATV over a short distance, you can use a private car or use the services of a transport company. But sometimes you have to transport equipment hundreds of kilometers away. In such cases, ATV owners are more likely to opt for the services of professional carriers. It is risky and dangerous to transport bulky cargo on your own.


ATV trailer

Transporting an ATV with a trailer is the best option for those who need to transport equipment over any distance. This is a universal solution that allows you to conveniently transport children's, utility, sports ATVs. But keep in mind that not every trailer will fit. It should be a full-fledged loading platform that allows you to securely fasten the vehicle. The maximum speed of a car with a trailer is 70 km/year, in a built-up area – 60 km/year.

Which trailers are suitable for transporting ATVs?

A trailer for transporting an ATV can be made by hand or purchased ready-made. There are craftsmen who independently make platforms for transporting two ATVs. The work is quite difficult. It is necessary to prepare drawings, sketches, purchase materials. In addition, a homemade trailer must be registered. This will also have to be dealt with.

It is much easier and faster to buy a ready-made trailer. For the transportation of ATVs, platforms of different types are used.

  • Onboard. A multifunctional vehicle can be used for various purposes, including for transporting an ATV. The trailer with sides perfectly copes with such tasks as transporting building materials, potatoes from the cottage, etc.
  • Platform. The trailer is a flat platform on wheels. It is convenient for the transportation of motor vehicles, but is not suitable for use in other purposes.
  • For ATVs. This category includes the most reliable and practical designs for transporting ATVs. They are equipped with everything necessary for a strong attachment of motor vehicles.

When choosing a trailer, consider the distance over which you will need to transport equipment, the design features of the ATV, as well as your financial capabilities.

ATV Trailer Mount

To transport a vehicle from one place to another on a trailer, you first need to secure the ATV. Driving safety depends on this. Fixation with belts for wheels, the seat is not reliable. For proper fastening, you will need two ratchet straps. The work should be done in the following sequence:

  • pass the tie strap through the frame from the front;
  • hook the belt into the weight loops;
  • tighten the straps so that the quad "squats" and the suspension does not play;
  • repeat the same steps for the rear of the vehicle.

This method is reliable and convenient, allows you to carefully drive an ATV for any distance. Such fixation will not harm the winch or the seat. The wheels do not slip, motor vehicles do not shake the trailer while driving. If the ATV is not fixed or fixed incorrectly, this can lead to a deterioration in its performance, damage to important components and mechanisms.


Transportation of an ATV by private transport

Do you have a private car? Why not use it to transport an ATV? A light model (sedan, station wagon, hatchback, etc.) is not suitable for this purpose, since the dimensions of the cargo are quite impressive. Motorcycles simply will not fit in the luggage compartment of such cars. You can transport ATVs in minibuses and pickups. First, the vehicle must be loaded, secured in the body, check the reliability of fixation.

Motorcycle tow truck

There are plenty of companies in Russia that provide cargo transportation services. Transport firms, evacuation services, even private individuals – there is one to choose from. In certain cases, their services are beneficial to the client. ATVs are transported on tow trucks, semi-trucks and cargo vans. When seeking help from the evacuation service, certain nuances should be taken into account.

  • Price. Transportation of motorcycles within the city is inexpensive. But if you need to transport an ATV over long distances, get ready to pay a lot.
  • Specialization of the company. Tow trucks are used to perform different tasks. Just yesterday, logs or building materials could be transported on its platform, and today your expensive quad bike. Make sure that the platform is equipped with all the necessary devices to ensure safe movement.
  • No guarantees. Carriers operate, as a rule, under a license. When contacting such companies, the client himself is responsible for the integrity and safety of his property. If a tow truck with an ATV gets into an accident or your motorcycle is exposed to other factors, do not rely on damages.

For one-time transportation over a short distance, a tow truck can be used. But if you have to transport vehicles hundreds of kilometers away, it is better to give preference to another method.

Services of transport companies

A very good solution is to contact a company that deals with cargo transportation. This option is relevant if you bought equipment in another city, and it makes no sense to drive a personal car after it. Such organizations have their own fleet of vehicles. The machine is selected depending on the dimensions of the ATV. For transportation of motor vehicles can be used:

  • tractors;
  • containers;
  • vans;
  • railway wagons;
  • trucks;
  • vehicles for the transport of motor vehicles, etc.

The choice of a transport company also needs to be approached carefully. A reliable contractor is ready to take on all obligations related to the delivery of motorcycles. Such organizations operate under an agreement that specifies the terms of cooperation, prices, terms, responsibilities of the parties, etc.

Another advantage of using a transport company is turnkey work. Specialists work out routes in detail, select a platform for a specific model of motor vehicles, notify the user about the movement of cargo.


Transporting an ATV out of the country

No documents are required for the transportation of motorcycles in Russia. It is only important to prove that the ATV is yours. Take with you the contract of sale or donation for this. No insurance or license required. If you are importing a vehicle from abroad or exporting it outside the country, check if the ATV is equipped with license plates. A certificate of registration is also required.

Conclusion

So, we have considered the most common ways of transporting ATVs over short and long distances. For transportation of motorcycles, you can use:

  • trailer;
  • van;
  • truck with a spacious body;
  • tow truck;
  • tractor etc.

The most rational solution is to use a trailer.
