Trailer type guide

ATV, UTV and snowmobile trailers

A powersports trailer is an open or enclosed trailer configured for ATVs, UTVs or snowmobiles, with fit determined by the machine’s widest and tallest travel configuration.

What is a powersports trailer used for?

Powersports trailers use open or enclosed layouts sized around machine width, roof height, tracks, accessories and seasonal loading conditions.

  • ATVs and side-by-sides
  • Snowmobiles
  • Trail and race equipment
  • Seasonal gear carried with the machines

What formats are common?

The name covers multiple configurations. These are common formats, not a complete list.

  • Open utility or deckover
  • Enclosed rear-ramp cargo
  • Drive-in/drive-out snowmobile body
  • Single- or tandem-axle

What should you compare before buying or renting?

Compare the exact unit and complete towing setup. Do not decide from trailer type or advertised length alone.

  • Door opening and interior height
  • Track or tire width
  • Roof, windshield and mirror clearance
  • Salt-resistant floor and hardware
  • Cargo placement with fuel and gear

When is this trailer type a poor fit?

A nominal trailer width does not confirm that a machine clears the ramp cables, door frame, wheel boxes or interior hardware.
