Aluminum ATV trailers are lightweight, resistant to rust, and reduce fuel costs when towing. They come in single or multi-vehicle drop, tilt bed, and ramp models, and do not require trailer brakes. Loading styles include rear and side ramps, and tilt beds.
An aluminum All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) trailer is a device used to transport an ATV behind a vehicle. Made from lightweight material, an aluminum ATV trailer is much lighter than a comparably sized steel trailer. One of the benefits of an aluminum ATV trailer is resistance to rust in areas that use salt and chloride on the roads in winter. The biggest benefit of the aluminum ATV trailer for many owners is the reduction in fuel cost when towing the light trailer. These trailers are commonly offered in single or multi-vehicle drop versions, as well as tilt bed and ramp models.
For many buyers, an aluminum ATV trailer is a very common accessory when buying an ATV. Since many ATV owners do not live next door to a specific riding area, the need to tow the ATV is a must when the urge to ride arises. A steel trailer is not only heavy and expensive to tow behind a vehicle, it can rust when used on snow-covered roads that are laden with salt or chloride to cut ice in winter. It is necessary to wash any salt or mud from an aluminum ATV trailer as soon as possible as this material can corrode the trailer if left in place.
Another benefit to choosing an aluminum ATV trailer over a steel version is the lack of need for trailer brakes. A heavy steel trailer generally requires the addition of trailer brakes to allow the tow vehicle operator to slow down without fishtailing or hitting the heavy trailer. The lighter aluminum trailer does not usually show these handling problems under hard braking. This saves not only the additional cost of braking components on the trailer axles, but also saves adding trailer braking controls and connections to the tow vehicle.
There are typically two types of loading styles on an aluminum ATV trailer, from the rear and from the side. Ramps used at the rear of the trailer allow vehicles to be loaded lengthwise on the trailer, while ramps on the side allow machines to be crossed on the trailer. On smaller versions of the two-vehicle capacity trailer, a tilt bed allows the driver to simply drive up to the trailer bed without the use of ramps. Once loaded, the machines can be strapped down for safe towing.
