Choosing The Right ATV Trailer

By Jackie Michaels

It's very difficult to make decision to buy ATV trailers, when you see many choices. This article gives you guidance to select a perfect one that fulfill your requirements. There is misconception to use terms trailer, wagon and cart interchangeably. Actually these 3 terms are basically different in nature.

Basically a trailer has a non-steerable front end and describes one unit to several axles. Units are designed in a manner so that can be trail behind of the tow vehicle. Plus point of trailer is the language, fixed in position, which enable support much easier. It is dependent on tow vehicles brake system mostly and keeps the unit straightens during braking due to strong/hard front end of unit.

A cart can be pushed like a wheelbarrow because it has been designed for this purpose. A cart has only one axle. When brakes of tow vehicles are applied, the cart depends on braking system of tow vehicles in most of the cases, during this process cart will remain straight due to its rigid front end.

As compared to a cart, a wagon has a steerable front end that enable the wagon to turn directly behind of the tow vehicle. It's important to keep in mind that makes backing a wagon is quite difficult. A wagon can be turned when needed to the side during going downhill on steep grades.

Some people's understanding is that ATV trailers works like a lawn trailer. It is fact that such types of trailers are available in market and those people, who purchase them, feel that they made a wrong decision. To differentiate a quality ATV trailer or cart from lawn trailer it should have several additional items over lawn trailer.

For a quality ATV trailer roller bearing is an important feature that allows it to travel on higher speed. It should also have mounted axle for prevention of axle failure in rough route/land. In some quality ATV larger ATV tires at low pressure being used to absorb the shock.

In high quality ATV trailers wood, steel and poly. Wood being used as cargo beds to have advantage of being easily replaced in case of damage. Each material has its own benefits like for steel, its easy to paint/ powder - coated and the lower the gauge number. Poly cargo beds have been used in past few years because it has ability to survive in swear weather condition and prevent it from cracking and breaking.

Rotting of wood and rusting of steel give preference to use poly because it do not have such disadvantage. Aluminum is also used for this purpose, but if draw back of such material is that in some cases white-corrosion with bare aluminum exposed to the weather and dissimilarity due to decay. Mostly this happened when steel bolts are in contact with aluminum. - 21392
