Description

ATV trailer plans specifically designed for 2 ATV’s with the ramps needed to easily load and unload. Plans include several variations for customizing – like ramps that hook to the side for loading, then store under the trailer for traveling. This trailer has engineering for strength, for functionality, and on-the-road stability! Check out all the features in the accordion tabs below.

ATV Trailer Plans

We offer two sizes of ATV trailers — Both versions accommodate 2 full size ATV’s. This is the smaller size (5’x 10.5′ bed), so it’s a little narrower for maneuverability. Yet, both hold 2 ATV’s just the same. The narrower profile can be a benefit when towing with something other than a full size vehicle. Both designs are single axle, 3500#, and both plans include a lot of options for customizing the trailer to your needs.

Note: Actual deck size is slightly larger than 5′ wide, and 10.5′ long. That is the nominal size rounded down.

More About The Design Features

For Strength and simplicity, the ATV trailer plans show standard steel beams with triangulation for rigidity. Some other trailers are weak and require short sides. Not these. They are strong, by design, starting at the frame.

Towing Stability, is achieved by adhering to the fundamentals, adjustable options for various load types and standard features like a tongue long enough for proper vehicle spacing and maneuverability.

Design Versatility brings axle and brake options for load and bed height, various tie-down locations and types, sides (options and variations) if you want such a thing on an ATV trailer, several bed material options and a fold down tailgate/ramp.

Notes for Success

* Trailer load capacity depends on all the parts and materials, as well as the craftsmanship in building. All Mechanical Elements trailers are engineered to perform as stated when built as defined with proper care in construction – including parts, material, construction techniques, weld integrity, assembly methods, and finishing. Capacity for this trailer also requires proper choices for parts such as the hitch, axle(s), wheels, tires, safety chain, decking, bolts, pins, etc. Please make sure component load capacities match or exceed the trailer total capacity. Do not exceed manufacturers limits.

For trouble-free trailer life, think care and safety. Please select fastening methods to handle how and where the trailer will operate – including vibration, proper fastener types, bolt grades, torques, and nut types (like lock nuts). Then, be smart about loading the trailer, load distribution, tire pressure, tire condition and the mechanics of towing. We want you safe to enjoy your trailer for a long time ahead. Always use proper safety and securing equipment when loading and towing a trailer.
