When you are heading off-road, your trailer becomes part of your overall setup.

We see common issues when the wrong trailer is used:

• Tight fits that make loading difficult
• Poor weight distribution during towing
• Lack of proper tie-down points

Side by sides are wider and heavier than standard ATVs, so having a properly sized trailer is critical for stability and safety.

When You Need A Side-By-Side Trailer

Not every ride requires a trailer, but in many cases it makes the most sense.

We typically recommend using a trailer when:

• You are travelling long distances
• You are hauling multiple machines
• You want to avoid wear and tear on your vehicle
• Trail access requires highway travel

Across Western Canada, where riding spots are often far apart, trailers are a practical necessity.

Types Of Trailers That Work For Side By Sides

There is no single “best” trailer. It depends on how you ride and how often you haul.

Open utility trailers

• Lightweight and easy to tow
• Great for shorter trips
• More affordable

Enclosed trailers

• Protect from weather and road debris
• Add security during travel and storage
• Better for long-distance hauling

Flat deck trailers

• More space for larger machines
• Easier loading for bigger setups
• Ideal for hauling multiple vehicles

We help customers choose based on how and where they actually ride.

Sizing Your Trailer Properly

Sizing is one of the most common mistakes we see.

For side by sides, you need to consider:

• Width including tires and accessories
• Length for the machine and gear
• Extra space for loading and tie-downs

For example, hauling multiple machines often requires larger trailers around 7x16 or bigger to ensure safe spacing and secure tie-downs.

Choosing a trailer that is just big enough on paper usually leads to frustration in real use.

Key Features That Make Hauling Easier

The right features can make a big difference when loading and towing.

We recommend looking for:

• Strong tie-down points
• Wide, stable ramps or tilt decks
• Proper axle setup for weight distribution
• Durable construction for rough conditions

Purpose-built UTV trailers are designed to handle loading angles, balance, and stability better than generic trailers.

Preparing For A Day On The Trails

Before heading out, we always recommend a quick checklist.

Make sure to:

• Secure your machine properly
• Check tire pressure on both trailer and vehicle
• Confirm lights and connections
• Plan stops for longer trips

These small steps help avoid issues once you are on the road.
