Protect Your Vehicles with a Toy Hauler Cargo Trailer
Posted on September 13, 2024
If you’re passionate about all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), UTVs (utility terrain vehicles) or other types of motorized toys, you know how crucial it is to protect your investment while transporting it.
Unlike open trailers, enclosed trailers provide additional protection from weather elements, theft, and road debris, making them a preferred choice for many ATV enthusiasts. Here are some of the top reasons people opt for enclosed toy haulers:
- Weather Protection: Shield your ATV from rain, snow, wind, and harmful UV rays.
- Security: The enclosed design discourages theft by keeping your vehicle out of sight and providing a lockable structure.
- Additional Storage: Many enclosed trailers have room for extra gear like helmets, tools, or camping equipment.
- Customization Options: You can outfit your enclosed trailer with ramps, tie-downs, cabinets, lighting, and even living spaces for longer trips.
The axle capacity, axle quantity and size of your trailer will depend on it’s specific uses or requirements.
1. Single-axle Toy Haulers
This is ideal for transporting one or two ATVs. It has a lighter weight, is easier to maneuver, and usually costs less than larger trailers. Single-axle trailers are perfect for hobby riders or those who don’t need to carry a lot of extra gear.
- Best for: Beginners, solo riders, and those on a budget
- Size: Typically ranges from 6×10 to 7×14 feet
2. Tandem-axle Toy Haulers
A tandem-axle trailer offers better stability and can handle heavier loads. It’s great for transporting multiple ATVs or a combination of ATV and other outdoor gear. Tandem-axle trailers are more durable, can withstand long distances, and often come with more customization options.
- Best for: Advanced riders, group riders, or those with multiple ATVs
- Size: Common sizes include 7×16, 8×20, or larger
Once you’ve decided on the type, you can customize your trailer to suit your specific needs. Here are some popular options to consider:
- Rubber tread plate flooring
- Cabinets/shelving
- Tie-downs (D-rings)
- E-track systems
- motorcycle wheel chocks
- Extra ramp doors on the walls or v-nose
- Diamonplate stoneguard on sides & rear
- Stabilizer jacks
If you transport ATVs in extreme conditions, you may consider a trailer with air conditioning or heating. This can also make the interior more comfortable if you plan to use the trailer for camping or as a temporary living space during races or trail riding events.
An ATV enclosed trailer is an essential investment for anyone serious about protecting and transporting their vehicles. Whether you’re a casual weekend rider or a dedicated off-road enthusiast, we can help you design the right trailer to make your trips smoother and safer!
