ATV haulers are used to transport ATVs using a tow vehicle. Types include trailers, enclosed trailers, truck carriers, and purpose-built RVs. Enclosed trailers protect vehicles and can store equipment, while truck carriers can store multiple ATVs and provide storage space. Purpose-built RVs can also act as ATV haulers.
ATV haulers are used to transport all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) using a tow vehicle such as a pickup truck. There are several types of ATV carriers, some designed to transport multiple ATVs at a time, while others are designed to transport only one ATV. Perhaps the most basic type of hauler is a trailer that attaches to a tow vehicle using a trailer hitch and receiver system. Such trailers can be large enough to fit up to three or even four ATVs, while smaller trailers can only fit one or two.
Enclosed trailers are ATV carriers that will protect vehicles from the elements during transport, and also provide an enclosure that will prevent theft or tampering. Enclosed trailers tend to be larger and heavier than open-air or flatbed trailers, but they can be locked and other equipment stored inside these ATV carriers. Tools for repairs, for example, can be stored inside the unit, as can accessories or spare parts that may be needed on race day or while traveling. Most of these enclosed trailers feature a drop-down ramp that makes loading and unloading ATVs exceptionally simple. Flatbed and open air trailers may also feature drop down ramps.
Trucks can be useful for transporting ATVs, but loading and unloading the vehicles, as well as storing more than one ATV, can be a difficult process. Therefore, ATV carriers have been specially designed to accommodate pickup truck transportation. These carriers are mounted to the bed of the truck, usually level with the top of the bed rather than the bottom. If more than one ATV is being transported, the carriers can be mounted so that the ATVs are stored perpendicular to the truck. The ramps will be attached to the carrier frames so the user can simply drive the ATV onto the truck bed safely and easily. This design also leaves plenty of storage space under the carrier frames for the user to transport additional items in the truck.
Some purpose-built RVs, or RVs, can also act as ATV haulers. The back of the RV must be openable so that ATVs can enter the unit; A drop-down ramp is usually necessary to accommodate this method of storage. Such recreational vehicles, sometimes known as toy haulers, can accommodate storage for multiple ATVs, and can provide sleeping and recreational space when parked.
