Trailer for two UTV's and two ATV's

how about a sled deck (that's what i've heard them called) and load both ATVs on the truck? then the two UTVs on a trailer or a GN with a deck above the GN and load the two ATVs on that?

I second this idea. You could then get by with a 20-22 foot trailer deck for the side by sides. I would get a straight deck trailer rather than a beaver tail. A coupe 10-12 foot aluminum ramps would make unloading a breeze.

the decks above a GN are fairly easy to loda/unload. i have never used a sledhauler so i can't speak to that.

For those that haven't seen a deck on the neck.

bdog, since you have a unique load to haul, you need a unique trailer.

How about a short version of this one.

xfaxman, I like your proposed solutions...special trailer for special and unvarying load.

Thanks, another advantage of a custom built is, it would be narrower and lighter than a normal gooseneck.

This is the car hauler style.

Exactly...perfect solution...new trailer, purpose built, long and frequent use, worth the cost. gooseneck, which I hugely prefer.

I looked at the take 3 website and I like their trailers and think they would work. I was ready to buy one. They had a trailer that could haul everything I needed and it weighs around 4,000 lb. I called them this morning and they said 5-8 weeks on delivery. I need something in the next two weeks. Back to the drawing board.

Are there any trailer builders in your area?

Most trailers long enough to haul your stuff are going to be heavy. A custom built car hauler style trailer, even if it costs more now, will save money in the long run.

You might ask Take 3 if they have a demo that you can use while they build the one you want.

There are local builders and even I have built several trailers I just don't have the time to build one or time to wait. I need something off the shelf I can pick up preferably this week.

Take 3 has zero trailers available. They build them as orders are placed. The sales guy I talked to said I should be happy with a 5-8 week wait as they were 16 weeks behind at one point this year.
