Why should think about a homemade trailer for ATV

If somewhere in the swamp mud or trailer still stuck, it can be with a clear conscience to quit and not to suffer with him.This is another plus homemade.
Trailer for ATV: options trailers
There are several options trailers (many of them at all, the point of fantasy), differing in design, materials, workmanship and practicality.If desired, everyone can make a trailer for ATV with his hands.Equipment, tools and the ability to use them - that's the big question when creating a home-made.
easiest option for transportation - is "Korytny" option.A little more difficult to make a classic already, which is very similar to the easiest road trailer.This will be a very long time to serve.In a classic trailer can already carry enough heavy loads, which significantly raises the effectiveness of such homemade.
"Korytny" version trailer
"Korytny" option is a tray on wheels.This trailer will be more expensive, since many parts have to buy.But it can make everyone.To make this gizmo does not need a lot of work, it is very easy to manufacture.First you need to buy myself a body.At any hardware store you can buy a large iron trough (something like a bath).This will serve as a body.It is important that such a bath does not exceed the width of the ATV itself, and was about the same.This will freely maneuver in all conditions.
then to cook from square metal timber (such kind of rolled metal products) rectangular frame around the perimeter of the bottom of the trough.It does not take much.The axis for the future of the trailer is better to buy in the car service or asking a friend to do the master, because you can pick up problems with the suspension and mountings.To make this, you need a lot of experience.If it is, then it again to save money.
scrapie trough and steel frame bolts help.Drill to do a pair of holes in the bottom and in the corresponding locations on the frame.At this stage, accuracy is very important, so it is best to measure everything several times that there were no distortions are due to the operation can give a crack.Drill holes in the bottom and the iron structures, you can insert the bolts into the holes and carefully tighten the nuts.It is important to tighten the nuts well, so they do not become loose while driving.
Attach the trough to the ATV
last stage - to attach the pole to the body.Drawbar - this is such a beam that holds the tractor and trailer.It can be made from the same square timber, only the thickness of the walls is necessary to take more, because when turning on this part will carry more load.Welding machine shaft is welded to the bottom of the trough.Also, to enhance the design, you can acquire additional mounting angle of forty-five degrees.
homemade ATV trailer, like all the other trailers, connected to the main transport thanks to the special coupling and the ball towbars.This mechanism is freely available on the market or in shops.Also, it can be removed from old cars.The principle of the installation is simple: the ball towbars screwed or welded to the rear of the ATV beam, and coupling is bolted to the drawbar.Now a trailer for ATV with their hands can safely pull loads.Keep in mind that this option will not be too lifting, as the design a little bit shaky.But not too heavy loads it can transport.Bags of cement and other building materials in the body fit.
Do trailer for ATV: classic version
trailer Classic is an ordinary iron box on wheels.This option will have a lifting and reliable, but the effort to create it will take longer.
How to axle trailer for the classic?
sure to buy axle with rubber-resin impregnated suspension.These axes will be cheap enough.It is this type of suspension will be the most optimal for the trailer.
All axes that will be sold, across the width do not fit, so they still have to be shortened.There need to be adjusted so that the wheels transport width does not exceed the ATV itself.It turns a mini-trailer for ATV, made their own hands, with a short axis.
From this axis need to cut the central part, initially all calculated.After that she became shorter.To connect them, you need to pick up a metal pipe diameter such that there were no half-line play.After inserting the half-line in the pipe right in the center, it is necessary to weld the ends.It is important during welding pour water to rollers made of rubber do not weld.
then to the axis at a right angle welded drawbar.It is made of thicker metal square bar.Then all that is welded to the base.
Making body
trailer trailer body made according to the needs of the host.If it is a regular cargo trailer for ATV, created with his own hands, it is all done by thumb scheme.First cook sturdy frame of a square metal bars, then welded to the frame axis.On the other frame is welded parts, sides and bottom.When working on the trailer body should take into account the thickness of the sheet metal that serves to bottom and sides.It is again calculated from the needs of the owner: the more gravity is planned to be transported, the greater must be the steel sheet.
