Whether you need an off-road ATV trailer with high weight capacity or a rugged UTV trailer, here are a few great choices
What are the best choices for an off-road ATV dump trailer?
Whether you want a utility trailer for hauling firewood, dirt or other materials across your property or just the best trailer for general purpose hauling there are a few great choices available.
Balancing the best trailer size, easy access and cost to find the right trailer can be difficult but here are a few of the top models we recommend. There are a range of prices for ATV dump trailers to help you get the trailer you need without breaking the bank.

What factors should I consider when purchasing an ATV trailer?
When it comes to ATV dump trailers, there are specific criteria you want to look out for before purchasing, different from if you're looking to buy a car hauler trailer or something similar.
So for off-road dump trailers meant for hauling you want to look out for:
-
-
Payload capacity: This refers to the maximum weight capacity as suggested by the manufacturer.
-
Off-Road Capability: If you plan on doing off-roading, is the suspension and tire system designed for making it through rough or narrow trails?
-
Dumping Mechanism: This is ideal if you want mechanical assistance in lifting your dump trailer.
-
Easy Access: Simple trailers have just end panel that folds or can be removed, but more flexible trailers have multiple folding sides for easy loading.
-
Key considerations for choosing the right trailer
When it comes to picking the right ATV dump trailer for maintaining your property or moving loads across your land there are a few significant features you should look out for:
Carrying Capacity:
If you plan on hauling heavy loads, then you'll need a trailer that can withstand it. If you plan on carrying heavy loads of dirt, rocks or gravel then you may need something with more than 1,000+ lb of cargo capacity.
Volume:
It's not just about the weight of what you're carrying but also whether you have enough space. Look for large, spacious trailers that you can easily load and unload, with enough space to haul logs or whatever you plan on carrying.
Loading and Unloading Methods:
How do you intend to get loads in and out of your trailer? Lowering side panels and tailgates can help you with getting logs, rocks or wood chips in easily. Having a winch that can easily lift your trailer and dump its contents can also be helpful when you need to quickly unload.
