I saw another guy who bought some cheap plastic automotive gArage ramps he put those on the inside of the trailer. They sat on a angle but worked perfect
We have a 6x14 single axle too. It is the handiest tool we own. Hauls our ATV’s, lumber, and anything/everything we can think of. Nice work and beautiful property you have.
Im wondering if you could have staggered them? The only thing I see, is it looks like the heavier part of the four wheeler is on the right side of the trailer and possibly the fender is or could scrape that fender. Overall, great video brother!
In my opinion he should have put the heaviest in the front. The lightest in the middle and the last one at the end. And now you have all the weight of all three four wheelers on one side of the trailer. NOT VERY SAFE IN MY OPINION.
I use to pull triples (3 28' trailers) for a freight company. Heaviest is always up front then next heaviest and so on. That way you won't fish tail or snake and you will maintain control of your vehicle easier.
If the blue polaris is the heaviest, I would put it where the yellow Honda 400 is. That way the heaviest is over the axle. Then put your lightest at the front and the last one at the back.
Came out nice. Just thinking that it would’ve been a lot easier if you just cut the rails from that one side you wanted to load it from and make them slip on slip off with a couple of screws you remove you load you lock them back up
From a safety aspect, you might be asking a lot from that single axle, specifically the weight on the tires. In the video the camera catches the tires when you had the trailer loaded up. The tire was bulging quite a bit, not sure how long the tires will hold up to highway speeds on the interstate. I like your solution overall, just keep an eye on your trailer tires on trips.
3500lb axle. All weight of the atvs are about 2,000 to 2,500 lbs. plus 800 to 1000 lbs trailer frame weight. The axle will do just fine. Weight capacity is perfect.
The trailer companies should make trailers more atv friendly. Hauling them pulled up from the side does save space and makes for a better haul while stopping and taking off.
If you're trailer is 14 foot long you can put two on there sideways and the other one straight on. I have got a 6.6 ft wide by 14 foot long and haul 3 atvs on it all 3 are 450 formans with no problem.
Not safe. If I had to do something like this for a short term solution, I would just cut the trailer. The best solution is to simply buy the correct size trailer- not just for loading but for correct tongue/overall weight distribution. With all three on an angle, there are various issues including more weight to the downhill side of the trailer. Also, one of the ATV's was barely on the wood. Also, always wear a helmet even for something as simple as loading.
Where safety takes a back seat, unfortunately I drive this road on my way to HMT in Gilbert West Virginia, I just hope I don't come across this unsafe individual on the road or the trails. OMG!!!!
@@caseysimon6357 i don't have any proof but I welded me up a set of rails that bridged across my rails on my trailer, and I drilled holes and locked them in with a pin. Worked great.
Could you please explain this better? I want to make sure I understand correctly. I also have 3 atvs to load and am looking for the best way to do it. Thanks!
On this style trailer the sides are the main support for holding up the weight of the trailer. If the side was cut off the angle frame wound bend or break. Thank you for the comment though.
@@gawzitup6901 support it with another peice of channel under it simple fix i mod them all the time easy project if you know what your doing been a welder fabracator for 35 years now and never had any problems with any thing
Everything about this is cringe!! What if you need to make any evasive mauvers or slam on the brakes?! What if the trailer has a blowout? Yard sale!! Im reminded of the saying "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!! 😬

You are asking for trouble putting more weight to the back. You need tongue weight for single axle.
I was thinking same thing to much in back can cause back end to swing and pull vehicle off road easily.
@@XxTWMLxX I had to learn the hard way years ago. But once you get the life scared out of you. You learn real fast
More tongue weight is way way better than less. Just search on trailer tongue weight.. put the Polaris all the way up front.
I was thinking swap yellow & white.. also backing them on too, help load balance.
Good ingenuity there! You're not too far from me, just 1 County over! Hope to see you on the trails!
I would rather have more tongue weight than not enough.
Tongue should always be heavier then back to prevent sway and possiblity of trailer losing control pulling vehicle off the road.
I’d rather have tread on my tires than Honda racing slicks.. 😳
Storing the ramp at the rear of the trailer, and move all the machines as far forward as possible to get more tongue weight.
That Honda 400 has seen some paved road running by the looks of the rubber.

@@IsoNurFace You're right. Weight in the back will cause trailer whipping. That experience is terrifying.
By putting planking on the top of the bottom three you can stack three more ATVs.
Need to strap front of them too, ask me how I know. 😂
How you know lol
@@beansharley2972 they probably rolled forward hitting the trailer and possibly breaking plastic or dented a bumper
Good video definitely helped me come up with an idea for my small trailer...... good old US 52 lol I'm in southern Ohio and live right off of 52
Wow never thought a 5min loading video would take over 25mins lol
Yeah. Long winded videos are frustrating. Keep it to the point, and quit with the jaw flapping for God'd sake. Ugh.
That was great, I'll be doing same project myself. Thanks
Get a larger trailer, it will be the safest thing to do. I do appreciate your ingenuity.
If the blue polaris is the heaviest, I would put it where the yellow Honda 400 is. That way the heaviest is over the axle. Then put your lightest at the front and the last one at the back.
Correct I will try that
Yep
I wonder how close you are to the trailer's GVWR.....if you're not already exceeding it.
He's fine.
@@KsAdventures you've seen the sticker?
Jayden. You’re the man!
You can put the middle quad pointing the opposite direction too
Came out nice.

The trailer companies should make trailers more atv friendly. Hauling them pulled up from the side does save space and makes for a better haul while stopping and taking off.
Just cut the trailer rail at the front left side and bolt some hinges on so you can raise and lower the side rail just like your tail ramp.
The rails are a key structural part of these angle iron trailers. They have very little strength without them welded in place
Is there any worry about the weight being set on the driver’s side? Seems that that could have some weight issues there. Just a thought
This was awesome
Given the task of not buying anything, the only change I would make is crossing your trailer chains.
I believe crossing chains is the law
I’m surprised you were able to film the video without the Polaris breaking down
LOL
You are hauling heavy with that suv man but what you did was pretty cool.
For sale...ford explorer...ran when parked....hauls 3 fourwheelers....over heats and needs transmission. Cheap!
Good idea! I'm wondering if your over loading that single axle trailer? What is that Trailer rated for?
Automotive service ramps work great.
I think you did a good job overall. But I think I would put on a trailer jack wheel. Easier on the back and easier to line up.
I would much rather be tongue heavy than tongue light. Swap the blue and white ones. I also would not be a fan of the quad sitting on the 5/4 boards.
What part of WV are you from? I’m in greenbrier county.
Awesome, I have a 5x14 and was considering building a platform to convert to a flat bed to haul my 3 units...great, great video!
I hope you add trailer brakes thats a good bit of weight back there
Your safety chains are supposed to be crossed a few times so if it falls off the ball that's what it's there for
Man up. Buy a truck one in the back two in the trailer.
Build a structural tonneau cover for it and load them on top.
If you're trailer is 14 foot long you can put two on there sideways and the other one straight on. I have got a 6.6 ft wide by 14 foot long and haul 3 atvs on it all 3 are 450 formans with no problem.
no problems with tires rubbing fenders?
Nice!

By the way you are just begging to roll that trailer and you want more tung weight not on the rear of it.
Best of luck.

Pallets work good for that
Car ramps inside the trailer
I would have just stood them up on end heavy one in the front.
I've seen that. I like that strategy a bit better
How don't you stand up the 4 wheelers on end by yourself?
Blue one should have been in front
Whats the wide size?
Great job
What size is your trailer?
One ATV too small of a size.
YOUNG MAN ,
MY HONDA WEIGHT 5 9 6
Straps on the inside and weight toward the front next time bud…
Overloaded the vehicle, overloaded the trailer, and loaded the trailer wrong. This is very unsafe
looks dangerous to me...its time to roll the trailer !!! Just get a longer trailer...
what size is the trailer
6x14
Muy bien 👍👍👍👍👍👌
I live in Lincoln county not too far from there
Cross your chains!
You can put a trailer lock on it so cant steal it......
Why not cut the rails off and load one from the side
The rails are part of the structural integrity when welded
@@Lithorock not really there more of load securment if hauling something that will roll around the structure integrity in the frame of thr deck
Strap the ramp to the trailer
Bud I done this 15 year's ago. Nothing new.
Where’s your instructional video..? Show him up... 🤷♂️

What size trailer?
6x14
and your tires are probably not legal for the weight rating.
i never seen a gay clever . Fantastic
Would have done it different bigger trailer
I mean you got it figured out, but that trailer is over payload capacity, im sure it worked out for you but I dont advise doing things like that.
Definitely not over payload
...intermittent signal lights... must be a ford thing. 🤷♂️
Put the blue on the nose

You actually loaded those wrong. To prevent sway, weight should be to the front of the trailer not rear. Completely wrong
Could have just cut the rail off the trailer on one side then you wouldn’t need the ramps
On this style trailer the sides are the main support for holding up the weight of the trailer. If the side was cut off the angle frame wound bend or break. Thank you for the comment though.
