I have a Triton tilt trailer and when the deck is wet or snowy in the winter my quad tends to slide a little side to side when loading so I've been thinking about what I could do to prevent the sliding.....I'm sure I could come up with something then I saw these and thought they were pretty interesting......What do you guys think???

Look pretty nice to me. I would think they have to help?

 

Looks like they are designed to be one application fits all..ie ATV and snomobile.
They might work well,if the tire bags around the cleats. Is it a plywood deck?
If so:
Have you ever seen "non skid" tape? It's like course sand paper on one side with a sticky surface on the other. Alot like skate board deck tape. It is also availabvle as a paint. It wouldn't do much for heavy snow build up,but if you sweep it off before loading it should help alot.
The good stuff works very well and is durable.
Main thing that I would worry about with the above "grips" is the front to rear only orientaion of the lugs and they appear to be hard plastic. Are they made of rubber or molded plastic. If they are rubber, they probably will work pretty good.

 

Yea they're hdpe........

Ever consider buying a tie down clasp ( not sure of the correct term ) and winching the atv on??? I have seen them for under $5 and would save you sliding all over the place loading. Just mount it to the trailer and winch on. Just a thought.

 

I have my doubts about them. Old snowmobile tracks work good if you can find them. Just screw it down. Another thing you can do is slap on a heavy coat of paint and throw dry sand on. It works for duck boats that are wet and slippery.

 

how bout that rhino lining , but it may not b good for snow

 

do you store your trailer outside? if so and you get any snow on a tilt trailer your f@#%ed trying to load it sometimes. rhino lineings not good with ice ether. you could try snowmobile tracks for best effect IMO. i bought a nice garden tractor trailer with a fold down steel gate, much better for winter loating.

if your really gona have trouble loading it you can buy a mountable winch to mount on the front of the trailer and winch your atv up on it

 

I have a set of folding ramps that I used to use when I loaded my machine in the truck before I got my trailer that I sometimes bring with me when conditions require.....I just don't tilt the trailer and use the ramps to drive up on the trailer, works great just trying to avoid bringing them with me all the time......Oh well....No biggy....Thanks guys for all the ideas........

i have old snow tracks on my trailer which work well. basicly anything that breaks up the smooth trailer surface would work that has some grip. hard to clean the snow off though i would think.
